<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So seriously, why do we run?&#160; My husband figured for the longest time that it was as a result of wanting to look good for the opposite sex.&#160; Totally wrong!&#160; He assumed that putting ourselves through that regime of torture was only for attracting someone else.&#160; </p>
<p>However, I know that most of the people I know, women, are deep down doing it for their own selfish reasons.&#160; They don&#8217;t want to look at that bulge on their tummy and the cellulite on their legs and butt.&#160; They, quite frankly, don&#8217;t want anyone else looking at that either!&#160; But, it&#8217;s not to attract someone specific.&#160; We make the effort to diet or excercise to try and exert some control over out basic instincts and foibles.&#160; There comes a time when the pain of sport or working out is simply because we feel the need to torture ourselves and it&#8217;s probably one of the only culturally appropriate ways of doing that.&#160; We sometimes exercise to exorcise personal demons.&#160; </p>
<p>I remember working out for the sake of a guy. I swam 100 lengths of a 25m pool, continuous.&#160; Previous to that I think the longest continuous swim I&#8217;d had was about 30 minutes.&#160; I was determined not to stop.&#160; I was determined to push myself beyond my limit.&#160; It had nothing to do with attracting him but it had a lot to do with impressing him.&#160; It was really all about having control of my own spirit and body connection because I certainly had no control over his!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="size-full wp-image-129 alignleft" title="table setting" src="http://qualitymitsubishidenver.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/story-3-img.jpg" alt="table setting" width="180" height="144" />With an increasing number of holiday festivities being held in the home this year, we&#8217;re all looking for creative and cost effective ways to spruce up our table settings and create a look that will impress our guests. When it comes to setting your Thanksgiving table, options for the adventurous host are limitless. What are the hottest trends for you to bring to your table this year? Here are a few ideas that will take your Thanksgiving table from ordinary to extraordinary:</p>
<p>Color, Texture and Mix &#8211; Match:</p>
<p>In table linens and accessories, this year we are seeing rich, saturated colours. We are also seeing a lot of texture and the mixing and matching of patterns with solids. There are a lot of options out there to do something warm and inviting.</p>
<p>Color Trends</p>
<p>Warm tones have always been popular for Fall and that continues with some of the biggest trends in colour combinations this year. Some of those include:<br />
- Deep Spice and Aubergine with muted Gold accents &#8211; Dark Chocolate with Blues and Gray accents &#8211; Olive Green, Aubergine and softer greens as accents &#8211; Dark Chocolate, Taupe and Natural</p>
<p>Tabletop Decor</p>
<p>- Use things that you already have in your home &#8211; pull out your 3 or 4 of your favourite vases of different heights. Use complementary colors of fresh flowers for a simple and stunning arrangement. Fill three or four vases and/or glass bowls with different colors and sizes of ornaments, fruits, leaves &#8211; anything with color and texture that will create visual excitement.</p>
<p>- Your guests are all unique &#8211; why not celebrate their individuality? Use different patterns and/or colors of napkin rings that match their unique personalities. Are they simple or sophisticated? Fun or formal? Unpredictable or conservative? Show them you care with a little customization to complement your table linens.</p>
<p>- Candles are always a dramatic and cost effective way to make a statement &#8211; use votives at each place setting with a name card and emphasize beautiful table linens for a classy and simple look. Or go more dramatic and cluster your favourite candle sticks of varying heights and looks as a centerpiece. Use colors that complement or match your dishes, glasses and table linens.</p>
<p>- Nothing brings subtle sophistication to your table like a well-selected runner. Use one the length of the table plus 12 inches to hang over the edge (usually a 90&#8243; or longer) as the perfect centerpiece. If you are using a solid tablecloth or placemats, make sure to jazz it up with a festive pattern. If you have a patterned look already, use a vibrant solid runner that picks up on one of the colors in your runner.</p>
<p>- Use 2 napkins instead of one with a napkin ring. With a solid napkin inside, and a more decorative napkin on the outside.</p>
<p>When setting your table, just remember: do what feels right for the mood. A casual gathering calls for a relaxed setting. A formal meal should feel that way at the table. Either way, it doesn&#8217;t take much to elevate your in-home dining experience. Replacing an old tablecloth with something fresh an exciting, and adding a few simple table accessories can go a long way to impressing your guests. It&#8217;s that time of year when family gatherings abound and everyone spends countless hours congregating around the dinner table. With the hours spent preparing the perfect meal, make sure you don&#8217;t forget to finish it off with the perfect setting.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Im sure that most of you who know me, know that I usually spend many hours on the xbox, but for the past couple of days I have had no enthusiasm or drive to turn the damn thing on. When I do play on it I am starting to get anoyed very quickly at the amount of cheaters on xbox live now. Maybe I should just get rid of it and find something else to do?</p>

<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Teclado não encontrado, aperte F1 para continuar&#8230;&#8221; PROTESTO! Sim! É justamente so]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone" src="http://amorcomhumor.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/pothunter.jpg?w=500&#038;h=50" alt="" width="500" height="50" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>&#8220;Teclado não encontrado, aperte F1 para continuar&#8230;&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>PROTESTO</strong>! Sim! É justamente sob protesto que inicio o post de hoje, que por pouco, muito pouco, não <strong>deixou de existir</strong>! Tal fato se deve ao meu <strong>querido</strong>, <strong>risonho </strong>e <strong>límpido </strong>computador que na verdade foi comprado pela minha tia, mas por ficar na sala, todo mundo acaba utilizando para os mais distintos propósitos, o que também inclui a mim, responsável por tentar <strong>manter a ordem</strong>, ainda que tardia, e executar procedimentos de <strong>reanimação cardíaca</strong> sempre que este apresenta condições de funcionamento inesperadas, como a de <strong>hoje</strong>&#8230;sobre a qual detalharei a seguir&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas antes de continuarmos, agora de volta às <strong>causas do protesto</strong>, este foi motivado pela <strong>incompetência humana</strong> de se criar algo <strong>tolerante à falhas</strong>, em outras palavras&#8230;<strong>perfeito</strong>! Sei que essa questão fere <strong>princípios religiosos</strong>, dos quais não discordo, aqueles que elegem apenas um <strong>Ser</strong> com a capacidade da perfeição. Por outro lado, convenhamos que existem diversos outros <strong>desprovidos de inteligência</strong> (e não me refiro a portadores de necessidades especiais), que um dia se formam, conseguem ingressar em uma faculdade (imagine algo como <strong>engenharia</strong> e para ser mais exato <strong>elétrica</strong>), se formam novamente (milagres existem), conseguem ingressar em um emprego (imagine algo como uma <strong>fábrica de computadores</strong>), e a partir daí, o mundo passa a sucumbir à negligência desses grandes <strong>gênios</strong>, que ao meu ver nunca deveriam ter sequer saído da <strong>lâmpada</strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No entanto, não pensem que me refiro a <strong>todos</strong>, afinal não me é de costume <strong>cuspir no próprio prato</strong>, mas à pequena, porém significativa, parcela, unica e exclusivamente, responsável pela criação da tão conhecida <strong>garantia</strong>! Afinal, não haveria a necessidade desta se o próprio <strong>fabricante </strong> demonstrasse <strong>certeza</strong> sobre seu produto, não é mesmo?!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Deixando a enrolação e críticas um pouco de lado, tentarei expor de modo sucinto e bem humorado, afinal não há outra opçã0 no momento senão o famoso &#8220;<strong>relaxa e goza</strong>&#8220;, sobre o repentino &#8220;<strong>envenenamento</strong>&#8220;, cujas as causas ainda estão sob investigação, do meu-da-minha-tia, pobre <strong>PC</strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tudo começou, acredito eu, devido ao <strong>APAGÃO</strong>, porém os efeitos só se iniciaram alguns dias posteriormente. Foi quando, em um belo início de noite, durante a semana, após voltar exausto de mais um dia de serviço, me deparei com a maquininha meio <strong>esquisita</strong>! O monitor piscava, estava tudo ligado, mas nem <strong>sinal de vídeo</strong>! No começo nem dei bola, afinal às vezes ele tem <strong>vontade própria</strong> e resolve aplicar algumas <strong>travessuras</strong>. Porém, quando realmente tentei analisar o problema de perto, abrindo o infiliz, percebi que havia algo na placa-mãe um tanto fora das condições normais de temperatura e pressão, <strong>CNTP</strong>, mais conhecido por &#8220;<strong>capacitor estufado</strong>&#8220;! Que diabos é isso? Veja a reposta dessa e outras perguntas na breve aula de eletrônica a seguir&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em linguagem simples, o capacitor, nada mais é que um componente <strong>eletrônico</strong> capaz de <strong>armazenar</strong> uma determinada quantidade de energia em um intervalo de tempo definido como &#8220;carregamento&#8221; ou &#8220;<strong>carga</strong>&#8220;, assim como liberá-la, também em um intervalo de tempo definido, o &#8220;descarregamento&#8221; ou &#8220;<strong>descarga</strong>&#8220;, similarmente ao trabalho executado por uma <strong>pilha</strong>! As principais causas para seu &#8220;<strong>estufamento</strong>&#8221; são provenientes das grandes <strong>oscilações de corrente</strong> na rede elétrica, comumente percebidas em situações de <strong>blackout</strong>, como reportado anteriormente. Digo provenientes pois a oscilação o gera mas não é o <strong>problema</strong>, e sim a <strong>falta de rompimento do fusível</strong> (dispositivo de proteção composto por um filamento sensível à <strong>sobrecorrente</strong> em circuitos), ou seja, o fusível deixa passar a maldita <strong>corrente alta</strong> e quem se <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">fode</span> ferra é o pobre <strong>capacitor</strong>, recebendo algo muito maior do que ele poderia suportar (imagine algo como <strong>Zé Bonitinho</strong> tentando carregar a <strong>Mulher Melancia</strong> no colo)!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para deixar o post <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">menos enjoado</span> mais <strong>bonitinho</strong>, facilitando também o <strong>entendimento</strong>, segue foto tirada hoje da minha <strong>placa-mãe</strong>, com o maledito do capacitor <strong>gorduxo</strong> circulado (reparem como o de cima é magrinho, já o de baixo tá pior que o <strong>Ronaaldo</strong>!):</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7898_modificado.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2364      aligncenter" title="Capacitor Estufado" src="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7898_modificado.png" alt="" width="670" height="502" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Até então tudo bem! Tudo que eu precisava seria <strong>comprar outro</strong> com as mesmas especificações e soldar o bixinho <strong>no lugar deste</strong>! A dificuldade seria <strong>média</strong>, afinal não poderia deixar a solda das 2 perninhas do coisa encostar nas <strong>trilhazinhas</strong> em volta, do contrário estaria provocando um <strong>curto-circuito</strong> e mandaria <strong>tudo pro espaço</strong> (inclusive o <strong>Pato Que Veio</strong> de lá, bastante conhecido na <strong>sessão da tarde</strong>, ah tempos bons aqueles!!!).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7899_modificado.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2365         aligncenter" title="Solda do Capacitor" src="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7899_modificado.png" alt="" width="670" height="502" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Após o breve <strong>diagnóstico</strong> acima, pude ficar <strong>feliz</strong> novamente e <strong>esperançoso</strong> em ter meu pczinho funcionando antes mesmo do que eu esperava, tanto que até me empolguei e resolvi <strong>limpá-lo</strong>, coitado, afinal já havia um tempo que não lhe &#8220;<strong>fazia um chuveirinho e passava-lhe uma alfazema</strong>&#8220;! Pobre ilusão&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7905_modificado.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2366      aligncenter" title="Computador Desmontado" src="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7905_modificado.png" alt="" width="670" height="502" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Digo <strong>ilusão</strong> pois não contava com uma das mais importantes <strong>leis da física</strong>, existente desde o início dos tempos! Não se trata de nenhuma <strong>gravidade</strong>, <strong>inércia</strong>, ou qualquer coisa do tipo&#8230;.me refiro à tão famosa e temida <strong>LEI DE MURPHY</strong> (para os desprovidos de <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">inteligência</span> informação, não se trata daquele ator comediante famoso, o <strong>Eddie</strong>, mas sim da lei cuja teoria sucinta que <strong>&#8220;se há a possibilidade de algo dar errado, certamente ocorrerá! E da pior maneira possível!&#8221;</strong> Bem animador, não?!), sobre a qual certamente faremos um <strong>post</strong> qualquer dia desses!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">É exatamente por isso que faço um circulo na fonte de alimentação, na foto acima, pois foi exatamente nela que o maldito MURPHY novamente me <strong>atacou</strong>!!! Afinal, agora em vez de um&#8230;ganhei nada mais nada menos que 2 (<strong>DOIS</strong>) <strong>capacitores estufados</strong>! E para <strong>piorar</strong>, condizendo exatamente com os princípios da Lei, vejam só a <strong>FACILIDADE</strong> de acesso aos mesmos! Sem dúvidas, farei toda a solda de <strong>olhos fechados</strong>, com a mão <strong>esquerda</strong> e de <strong>cabeça pra baixo</strong>, tamanha <strong>moleza</strong>!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7909_modificado.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2367      aligncenter" title="Capacitor Estufado" src="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7909_modificado.png" alt="" width="670" height="502" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O mais interessante é que, tanto na foto acima quanto na de baixo, haviam <strong>TROCENTOS</strong> capacitores <strong>super-fáceis</strong> de acertar, caso dessem problemas&#8230;.mas <strong>não</strong>! O <strong>bendito</strong> do <strong>infeliz</strong> foi se enfiar logo <strong>embaixo</strong> do <strong>dissipador</strong> e ao <strong>lado</strong> das <strong>bobinas</strong>!!! Ah mas que dá vontade de <strong>deixar ele gordinho</strong>, só pra ele aprender, e como dá!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7910_modificado.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2368      aligncenter" title="Capacitor Estufado" src="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7910_modificado.png" alt="" width="670" height="502" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parece até que o bixo se escondeu de <strong>propósito</strong> lá só pq sabia que eu iria ficar <strong>puto</strong> e rancá-lo <strong>na marra</strong>, não é mesmo?! Quando tirei essa foto me deu uma impressão que ele estava me <strong>espiando</strong> pelas <strong>gretinhas</strong>&#8230;.e rindo ainda por cima!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mediante ao exposto acima, tive que <strong>dar o braço a torcer</strong>&#8230;e oferecer o <strong>primeiro round</strong> ao capacitor! Afinal foi mta sucessão de problemas para um dia só&#8230;terei que refletir calmamente e elaborar uma <strong>Estratégia de Guerra</strong> se quiser vencê-lo! Do contrário, serei novamente <strong>esmagado</strong> pelo <strong>exército inimigo</strong>!!! (ok, não é pra tanto!)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7912.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2369      aligncenter" title="Batalha Perdida" src="http://amorcomhumor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_7912.png" alt="" width="670" height="502" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Assim o fiz! Recolhi todo o <strong>armamento</strong> e meus <strong>soldados</strong>&#8230;e voltamos para casa <strong>cabisbaixos</strong>, porém <strong>esperançosos</strong>! Afinal somos <strong>brasileiros</strong> e naum podemos desistir tão facilmente! Hoje perdemos uma <strong>batalha</strong>&#8230;mas voltaremos com todas as nossas forças e venceremos a Guerra!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Caso contrário&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..já tenho algumas <strong>sugestões</strong> em mente, vejam só! <strong>HUA HUA HUA HUA HUA</strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/zS8B9bi1vzU&#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/zS8B9bi1vzU&#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;">Aguardem, pois <strong>em breve</strong> estaremos de volta com o <strong>desfecho</strong> dessa situação!!! Enquanto isso&#8230;<strong>participem</strong> com suas sugestões sobre <strong>o que eu poderia fazer com toda essa bagaça se não conseguir ressucitar esse monte de lata velha</strong>! Conte-nos também se você já teve algum problema com um equipamento a ponto de <strong>perder a paciência</strong>, assim como nosso amigo do video acima, e, em caso <strong>afirmativo</strong>, se o <strong>arrependimento</strong> chegou assim que a <strong>raiva passou</strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>TO BE CONTINUED&#8230;</strong><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Have you ever got lost? Panic struck? anxious? Imagine how Eric Steward 81 felt when he was visiting friends in Sydney, Australia.</p>
<p><strong>An 81-year-old Australian man became lost on an early morning drive to the shops and ended up almost 600km (370 miles) away from his starting point.</strong></p>
<p>Eric Steward told police he failed to stop because he &#8220;liked to drive&#8221;.</p>
<p>Visiting friends in Yass, a country town south of Sydney in New South Wales state, Mr Steward left to buy a newspaper on Monday morning.</p>
<p>More than eight hours later, after taking a wrong turn on the highway, he asked Victoria state police for help.</p>
<p><!-- E SF -->&#8220;I just went out on the road to have a drive, a nice peaceful quiet drive.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know where I was going but I knew it was somewhere, and with a bit of luck I would eventually find my wife again,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p><strong>A good driver</strong></p>
<p>Australians think nothing of getting into a car to drive to a local shop to get a newspaper or milk. But most manage to get back home within minutes.</p>
<p>With Mr Steward, it took almost nine hours.</p>
<p>So next time you&#8217;re lost. ask fo help before you get too lost, or check your trusty guide book!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em></p>
<address><em>(eu uso google imagens)</em></address>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p></em><em><a href="http://artigosecronicas.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/internet1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-556" title="internet1" src="http://artigosecronicas.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/internet1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>“Consultando meus arquivos, encontrei esta mensagem falando sobre comportamento familiar, que escrevi em 2004, para um de meus professores de informática. Fiz algumas adaptações para torná-la impessoal. Alguns termos já estão superados por programas mais atuais, mas creio ser interessante publicar este texto, pois poderá abençoar outras vidas também.” </em></p>
<p>Temos presenciado muitas pessoas transmitirem um semblante de alegria, porém, interiormente, estão vivenciando uma situação bastante delicada na questão familiar; muitos estão desnorteados, sem rumo e até mesmo sem saber que caminho tomar.</p>
<p>No princípio daquele curso para facilitar o aprendizado dos termos técnicos de hardware, foi feita uma comparação do nosso corpo como sendo a placa mãe e nosso cérebro a CPU. Assim, entendemos que somos seres, criados de uma forma muito especial, pois não existe no mundo inteiro dois seres humanos iguais. Por conta disso, precisamos processar nossos relacionamentos sociais de forma interativa, trocando arquivos de todos os tipos de extensões.</p>
<p>Podemos considerar que essa interatividade entre nós, seres humanos, feita de forma consciente ou até mesmo inconsciente, quando em família, seria uma LAN, no meio social no qual estamos inseridos, uma Intranet; já com a população global, uma Internet.</p>
<p>Nessas conexões ininterruptas acabamos nos tornando vulneráveis, porque somos frequentemente bombardeados por vírus cada vez mais sofisticados. Existem alguns ambientes de trabalho bastante propícios para a invasão de HACKERS, com os vírus SMART, interessados principalmente em apenas infectar os menos avisados e consequentemente suas LANs (família). Quando atingem seus objetivos, apenas se vangloriam com isso.</p>
<p>Aqueles que trabalham mais diretamente na área de informática, podem compreender melhor do que eu, sobre a mutabilidade desse tipo de vírus que, uma vez dentro do nosso corpo, acabam comprometendo nossa personalidade, nossa auto-estima e até mesmo nosso senso de humor.</p>
<p>Quando nos damos conta de que já fomos infectados, a maior angustia que enfrentamos é a impossibilidade de nos desconectarmos da rede, para evitar que os computadores da nossa LAN também sejam contaminados. Além disso, ainda temos que manter nosso GABINETE MENTOR(corpo) com uma aparência agradável, até que encontremos a vacina correspondente para exterminar completamente o tal vírus; isto sem que alguém venha perceber que, o que ocorreu, tenha sido por displicência nossa.</p>
<p>Enquanto isso, lentamente, vamos perdendo a vontade de viver, nos isolando de tudo e de todos, e acabamos apenas cumprindo nossas obrigações profissionais. Não porque elas nos promovam alguma satisfação, mas sim porque são imprescindíveis para nossa sobrevivência.</p>
<p>Acabamos esquecendo de nós mesmos, nos anulamos e passamos a viver apenas de aparências para agradar aos outros; tudo isso por falta de tempo para fazermos uma frequente manutenção em nosso HD. Se não fizermos, pelo menos semanalmente um SCANDISK e uma DESFRAGMENTAÇÃO em nosso drive C:, estaremos diminuindo nosso tempo de vida útil.</p>
<p>Surgem várias interrogações&#8230; &#8220;quando fazer essa manutenção?&#8221;&#8230; não temos tempo para isso; &#8220;quem faria essa manutenção?&#8221;.. nós mesmos não seríamos as pessoas indicadas, principalmente se já estivermos infectados. A única solução seria podermos contar com um  Administrador; sim, esse seria o caminho mais sensato: nos colocarmos à disposição de alguém que fosse de nossa extrema confiança para fazer constantemente essa manutenção dentro de nossas vidas e de nossas LANs.</p>
<p>Quem, melhor do que Aquele que nos criou, para ser o Administrador da nossa LAN? Com certeza Ele abrirá nosso Gabinete Mentor com muito cuidado e, por conhecer a senha de todos os componentes internos, poderá acessar e fazer uma varredura completa: exterminar os vírus, corrigir os erros e restaurar os arquivos originais de nossa personalidade; feito isso, tudo voltará a funcionar perfeitamente, e nossos relacionamentos dentro de nossa LAN poderão ser mais abertos.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8230; entreteceste-me no ventre de minha mãe. Eu te louvarei, porque de um modo terrível, e tão maravilhoso fui formado; maravilhosas são as tuas obras, e a minha alma o sabe muito bem. Os meus ossos não foram encobertos, quando no oculto fui formado, e entretecido como nas profundezas da terra. Os teus olhos viram meu corpo ainda informe, e no teu livro todas estas coisas foram escritas; as quais iam sendo dia a dia formadas, quando nem ainda uma delas havia&#8221;. (Salmo, 139:13-16)</em></p>
<p>Será que esse Administrador nos criaria de uma forma tão complexa e especial, nos conectaria a uma LAN e também a uma rede mundial, sem qualquer objetivo mais sublime?!!! Será que Ele sendo conhecedor dessa senha de acesso para nos inicializar todas as manhãs quando acordamos, ficaria apenas assistindo impassivelmente nossos sofrimentos e desilusões, até chegarmos a uma pane total, onde a única solução seria a troca do nosso HD?!!!</p>
<p>Quando começamos a raciocinar sobre nossa situação, chegamos até a pensar: como Ele poderá restaurar nossa personalidade original? Será que esse Administrador que nos criou, se lembrou de fazer um BACKUP de todos os arquivos que foram sendo registrados em nossa CPU? Mesmo aqueles recebidos ao longo de nossas vidas, aqueles de extensão &#8220;.pps&#8221;, que teimavam em nos fazer vizualisá-los do começo ao fim, mas que sempre nos davam um novo ânimo para que continuássemos conectados à rede?</p>
<p>Se você estiver enfrentando uma situação como esta, saiba que é o momento de parar e refletir, quando é que o primeiro vírus contaminou sua vida e acabou deixando marcas de mágoas, ressentimentos, tristezas, desespero e até mesmo solidão.</p>
<p>Fale com o Administrador que te criou e permita que Ele faça, a partir de então, manutenções periódicas em você. Com certeza Ele irá restaurar sua personalidade original e exterminará todos os vírus que te infectaram, para que você possa ser novamente conectado, de forma sadia à sua rede local. Ele também exterminará o sentimento de culpa que possa estar te corroendo, devido à consciência de estar infectado sem poder se desconectar de sua LAN.</p>
<p>Você pode até ter chegado a pensar que não haveria mais restauração para o seu caso. Mas eu te aconselho que você pergunte para seu Administrador, pois ninguém melhor do que Ele, para lhe dizer a verdade, seja ela qual for.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Aquele que fez o ouvido, não ouvirá? E o que formou o olho, não verá? E o que dá ao homem o conhecimento, não saberá?&#8221; (Salmo, 94:9-10).</em></p>
<p>Coloque-se à disposição do Administrador de nossas vidas, o Deus Criador e pare de fugir de você mesmo; levante a cabeça e lembre-se sempre, que você também foi criado de forma especial, para proporcionar grandes benefícios à rede que já estava constituída quando você chegou a este mundo.</p>
<p>Fale com seu Administrador. Depois de restaurá-lo, Ele te indicará se o melhor caminho é você se reconectar à sua LAN ou ser conectado a uma nova LAN. Seguindo suas orientações, creio que tudo será resolvido pacificamente. Lembre-se de que nenhum ser humano consegue viver desconectado da sociedade, pois foi para isso que fomos criados; para trocarmos arquivos sadios, e juntos, construirmos um mundo melhor.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Busquei ao Senhor e Ele me respondeu; livrou-me de todos os meus temores. Clamou este pobre, e o Senhor o ouviu e o salvou de todas as suas angústias. O anjo se Senhor acampa-se ao redor dos que O temem e os livra. Muitas são as aflições dos justos, mas o Senhor o livra de todas.&#8221; (Salmo 34:4, 6-7, 19)</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Os passos de um homem bom são confirmados pelo Senhor, e ele deleita-se no seu caminho. Ainda que caia não ficará prostrado, pois o Senhor o sustem com a sua mão. Nota o homem sincero, e considera o que é reto, porque o futuro desse homem será de paz.&#8221; (Salmo 37:23-24, 37)</em></p>
<p>Reserve um tempo para ler a Bíblia Sagrada diariamente; com certeza sua vida mudará. Porque sendo a Palavra do nosso Administrador, como água purificadora, limpará completamente o seu interior.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I was given a freebie once &#8212; a rare event indeed &#8212; by a client. It was a small black 4GB USB drive branded as<!--more--> Dell.  Some folk call this sort of thing a Flash drive, Jump drive, Pen drive or even a thumb drive.  Anyway, I used it all the time, and it was great.</p>
<p>Then I broke it.  It was plugged in and sticking out of a USB slot when I accidentally kicked it.</p>
<p>So I nipped out and bought a new flash drive in my lunch hour.  I got a <a href="http://www.peakhardware.com/products/productlist.asp?caid=2&#38;said=5&#38;oaid=71">Peak Slider</a>.  What a disaster!</p>
<p>Things got really s l o w &#8212; <em>really </em>SLOW.</p>
<p>In theory, the maximum a USB 2.0 drive can go is  48MBps (480 megabits per second / 8 bits per byte = 60 Megabytes per second, with 10% reserved = 54 Megabytes per second), so I was expecting USB drives of upto about 54MBps &#8212; especially since  USB 3.0 is imminent.  USB 3.0 boasts 3 Gbps throughput and will be really fast &#8212; somewhere around 300 MBps!</p>
<p>So I googled fastest flash drives and found a lot that were under £20 for 4Gb and 30 MB/sec.</p>
<p>I also found my recent purchase at Peak&#8217;s website: Read speed: 13.5 MB/sec; Write speed: 3.5 MB/sec *sob*.</p>
<p>Jeez &#8211; no wonder it was slow; 3.5 versus 30. No competition!</p>
<p>I asked around, and no-one realised that speed was even a variable &#8211; even in the computer shops (where a couple of counter staff actually had to look up the transfer rates on the web).  PC World (to their credit) always seem to mention the transfer rate along with the storage size and price, but they had <em>lots</em> of 4 MBps ones, a few 10 MBps and one at 18 MBps!  Transfer rates seem to have nothing to do with price &#8212; how weird!  I asked guys in a client&#8217;s office, and they discovered that they had very slow speeds for the freebies that sales reps had given them, and the best speed for privately bought USB drives was just 7 MBps.</p>
<p>Ruthie has a Kingston DT1 2GB Data Traveler USB Drive, which doesn&#8217;t seem to exist on the Kingston website (I hate when that happens)! In fact transfer rates are hidden, and I couldn&#8217;t actually find out the speed &#8212; isn&#8217;t that awful? I suspect, therefore, that it is slow, and have resolved to avoid Kingston from now on.</p>
<p>I have ordered a new flash drive. I will (of course) keep you appraised on developments.</p>

<p>As you can see above, there is no wiimote in that accessory steering wheel. There is, instead, a <a href="http://starlino.com/usb_gamepad.html">home-made accelerometer controller</a> that connects to the pc via USB. Based around a PIC 18F2550 and a 2 axis accelerometer, this device is detected by windows as a standard controller. The schematic and source code are available on his website. He says it can also be used as a &#8220;motion mouse&#8221;. You can see a video of that after the break.</p>
<p>When we first saw the video, we thought it might be the same person as <a href="http://hackaday.com/2009/11/19/complete-the-maze-get-a-gumball/">the accelerometer controlled maze project</a>, due to the wiimote steering wheel casing.</p>

Foi esta a ideia que engenheiros da Waterloo Labs decidiram desenvolver.<br />
Uma aplicação do iPhone, em conjunto com algumas engenhocas, que recebem o sinal wireless do iPhone, e controlam o carro a partir desses dados.<br />
Este extraordinário projecto, teve um sucesso tal, que uma grande marca de carros contactou imediatamente a equipa, para um possível projecto futuro.<br />

<p>Thanksgiving must be in the air, because this month of November has been a  cornucopia of riches for those of you out there, unlike myself, that enjoy watching leaked sex tapes of famous or soon to be famous people. </p>
<p>Virginal Miss California, and a proud homophobe Carrie Prejean has made at least 8 solo sex tapes, that were for her former boyfriends eyes only, has been offered up to two million dollars by the porno production kings Vivid entertainment.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=carrie+prejean&amp;iid=6115369" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/2/e/3/0/Atlanta_Falcons_vs_25d4.JPG?adImageId=7649574&amp;imageId=6115369" width="234" height="163" border=0  /></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script>
<p> Shauna Sands of all people has written an open letter to Carrie, encouraging her to take the money, and maximize her financial earnings by controlling its distribution, which will happen if she gets paid or not.</p>
<p> Shauna, of course, is speaking from experience, as her former boyfriend released her sex tape, on the eve of ex-husband Lorenzo Lamas and current family had premiered their own reality T.V. program on a major cable network. Shauna has offered to sit down with her over &#8216;tea&#8217; so she could consult her one on one, sex tape producer to sex tape producer. </p>
<p><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=shauna+sand&amp;iid=4279604" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/a/3/b/f/PicImg_Shauna_Sand_getting_2f3a.JPG?adImageId=7647877&amp;imageId=4279604" width="234" height="396" border=0  /></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script> </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see what Carrie decides to do&#8230;take the devils money, or cash in and blaze new trials as a christian porno actress. Today, singing star, actress, and all around sex goddess, Carmen Electra stepped up to the plate and has leaked her own private porno sex tape, but hers is not a solo affair. </p>

<p> What it does mean is that the search for it will on the internet will make her the queen of internet searches for a few days, which should help promote the sale of her upcoming movie or book release. Electra, 37, can be seen wearing nothing but black high heels, stockings, panties, a red bra and a diamond-studded choker in a new short posted on website NucleonForce.com.</p>
<p><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=carmen+electra+bikini&amp;iid=788203" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/6/f/1/0/Celebs_at_MTVs_8ed7.jpg?adImageId=7649272&amp;imageId=788203" width="234" height="380" border=0  /></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script>Just note that even though it is tame,it is not safe for work,NFSW, so proceed at your own risk, but do check it out if you want to confirm my review. You may need to hurry, because, just to make it look good,like an actual leak, I am sure that her &#8216;people&#8217; and attorneys will take it down quickly, after getting the necessary decease and desist orders, but&#8230;they all know that it is still retrievable by those in the know.</p>
<p><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=carmen+electra+bikini&amp;iid=787869" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/f/f/c/5/MTV_Spring_Break_82e5.jpg?adImageId=7649276&amp;imageId=787869" width="234" height="454" border=0  /></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script>Once it&#8217;s up, it is almost impossible to totally delete from the massive internet sites that have most certainly copied it in several places on the web. </p>
<p>The most interesting one out of any leaked sex tape that I have been forced to review as a &#8216;journalist&#8217; comes from newcomers <strong>Miss Japan</strong> 2008 Miroko Mima and <strong>Miss Trinidad</strong> &#38; Tobago Anya Ayoung-Chee who both met and competed in the <strong>2008 Miss Universe</strong> pageant with <strong>Carrie Prejean</strong>. </p>
<p><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=miss+japan+2008&amp;iid=1377231" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/5/1/f/5/Miss_Universe_2008_06d2.jpg?adImageId=7647563&amp;imageId=1377231" width="234" height="351" border=0  /></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script>This one features adults involved in unspeakable acts of passion and intamacy-all in a three-way with a gentleman rumored to be Miss Trinidad and Tobago&#8217;s former boyfriend. How he messed that relationship up, is amazing to me, because these two beauties seem like the coolest duo on the planet. </p>
<p><div style="float:left;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=miss+japan+2008&amp;iid=3184772" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/a/a/1/9/Miss_Universe_Japan_dcaa.jpg?adImageId=7647798&amp;imageId=3184772" width="234" height="320" border=0  /></a></div><div style="clear:left;height:0px;overflow: hidden;"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script>I can not even begin to explain the situation in words, so I will link this article to the fellow blogger who has it posted on their site. Be warned&#8230;this is totally XXX rated and thoroughly NSFW, so wait until you get home. </p>
<p>Do not be too curious, because why mess up a good gig over some prurient entertainment, unless of course, your job is to report on such news for a blog or other legitimate news reporting services.</p>
<p> <a href="http://fleshbot.com/5405254/alleged-beauty-queen-threeway-tape-rocks-the-internet/gallery">http://fleshbot.com/5405254/alleged-beauty-queen-threeway-tape-rocks-the-internet/gallery</a> </p>
<p>I predict the two of them will be famous, but that Miss Trinidad and Tobago is flat-out beautiful. She will have an extensive career in front of the cameras, so do not be mad at her.</p>
<p> I give this one 15 stars out of 10, and the leaked tape speaks for itself.</p>
<p> It is being reported that the action was stolen off of her Miss Trinidad&#8217;s former boyfriend&#8217;s laptop, when he left it at a computer repair shop. That sounds to me like a lie, because we all know that most people delete their porn from their desktop before leaving it at a repair shop,&#8230;.at least I do.</p>
<p> I am obviously joking here with all of this, but it is amazing to me that there are so many high-profile people out there that film themselves having illicit sex. Carrie Prejean claims that she just wanted to give her boyfriend a gift, and I have heard that before many times from young girls.</p>
<p><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=miss+japan+2008&amp;iid=3184770" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/e/b/6/1/Miss_Universe_Japan_95ca.jpg?adImageId=7648436&amp;imageId=3184770" width="234" height="353" border=0  /></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script> </p>
<p>I know when I bring gifts to an intimate female companion, I better show up with some flowers and merchandise if I plan on coming back. A sex tape will not cut it for the women I know, &#8230;but it would be great for them to make one and give it to me.</p>
<p> I just would not be in it. Unfortunetly this does send out the wrong message to all the little girls out there that want to become celebrities. It seems as though that a &#8216;leaked&#8217; sex tape is going to be mandatory for  young lady to rise to fame and popularity in today&#8217;s culture.</p>
<p>The viral nature of just such an exhibition has worked wonders for many of todays starlets and that might be a double-edged sword. </p>
<p>I expect a lot of self righteous declarations of piousness to be espoused in reaction to this sexual exploitation in our culture, and I discourage any of my relatives to go down this path,so I do not have to be exposed to it.</p>
<p> But, the reality of it is, is that it is not illegal if the parties are of age and consenting adults, it&#8217;s just inadvisable.</p>
<p> I recommend a bit of discretion, but I do understand the pressure that we in Hollywood put on the female stars to stay relevant, and to be noticed.</p>
<p>If you are related to me, I suggest you make something eles for your boyfriend&#8230;</p>
<p> <strong>Proceed with caution</strong>&#8230;.as I call to book my one way ticket to <strong>Trinidad and Tobago</strong> with a <strong><em>layover</em></strong> in <strong>Japan!!!</strong></p>

In a month I&#8217;ll be on holiday again, for two months, I wonder if I&#8217;ll make good use of that time. Right now I don&#8217;t feel the urge to do anything, just sleep. Sleep for those two months, hibernate. But I know I need to make proper use of the time, do something constructive etc. </p>
<p> I think I&#8217;ll work on recording some originals, maybe compile an EP and release it some time early next year. Just 4 tracks, I&#8217;m already almost done with 1. Get my driving license, take the TOEFL exam, and maybe even visit my &#8216;ancestral domain&#8217;. I&#8217;ve still not been able to take the observation coach to Badulla, so that&#8217;s one more thing I want to do. </p>
<p> Somehow none of this feels exciting, not even the thought of holidays. Strange. Very issstrange. </p>
