Shameless writers!

 Dear Shameless makers: 
I love your TV show! I don't follow many TV programs but I don't miss one episode of Shameless. I would like to however make a comment about the end of episode 3 where you have a brief scene of the character Steve in Brazil. I am a Brazilian woman and I am very proud of my beautiful country and it's beautiful and warm Brazilian people. I very much resent the fact that you showed Steve getting a blowjob by a Brazilian woman with Rio's backdrop. That is a stupid and demeaning way of depicting a country and it's values. It's very disappointing that your writers would chose to stereotype my country in such poor way. Brazil, the land of easy and slutty women. Really guys? By the way, your backdrop could not look more fake. That whole scene is just a disaster. Remember, you live in a GLOBAL community now. You should be more careful on how you portrait people's cultures and countries. They could be watching you!

    I agree. What is mostly upsetting is the fact that the writing of this show is quite clever, but then they come and do something idiotic like stereotyping Brazil that way! That is so old school. Nowadays people should know better not do make this kind of statement. My wife is Brazilian and she is appalled. SHAME on Showtime!

5 Tibetan Energy Rejuvenation Rites

Image
My family and I have been practicing the Tibetan Rites for years. T he Five Tibetans are a yogic system of highly energizing postures and exercises that originated in the Himalayas. (You may see the Rites' Benefits, at the bottom of this page.) Two thousand years ago, Tibetan monks claimed that the aging process could be reversed. They developed the Rites, by condensing 21 yoga exercises into 5. What would easily take a couple of hours to perform, could then be completed in 10-20 minutes. It was not uncommon for Tibetan monks to live to be 120 years of age, while still enjoying exceptional health! For thousands of years, healing practitioners have maintained that the body has seven principal energy centers which correspond to the seven endocrine glands. You may be familiar with these centers as chakras. Recent medical research has uncovered convincing evidence that the aging process is hormone-regulated. The five ancient Tibetan rites are able to normalize hormonal imbalances prese...

SAUDADE

Our most beautiful, and absolutely unique word is so full of feelings and soul - so brazilian... :) Saudade (singular) or saudades (plural) is a Portuguese word that can be translated as "longing, yearning", which describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one loves and which is apart. It often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return. Saudade has been described as a "vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist ... a turning towards the past or towards the future" A stronger form of saudade may be felt towards people and things whose whereabouts are unknown, such as a lost lover, or a family member who has gone missing. It may also be translated as a deep longing or yearning for something which does not exist or is unattainable. Saudade was once described as "the love that remains" or "the love that stays" af...
