 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!

POR ESSAS E OUTRAS É QUE, ÀS VEZES, PESSOAS SÃO ACOMETIDAS DE ENFERMIDADES GRAVES E NÃO SABEM A CAUSA. E a gente nem se dá conta......Olha o risco! CARROS ESTACIONADOS AO SOL Preste atenção! Um carro estacionado na sombra durante um dia com as janelas fechadas pode conter de 400-800 mg. de Benzeno. Se está no sol a uma temperatura superior a 16º C., o nível de Benzeno subirá a 2000-4000 mg, 40 vezes mais o nível aceitável...      A pessoa que entra no carro mantendo as janelas fechadas inevitavelmente aspirará em rápida sucessão, excessivas quantidades desta toxina.      O Benzeno é uma toxina que afeta o rim e o fígado. E o que é pior, é extremamente difícil para o organismo expulsar esta substância tóxi...

Being classy is not about being stuck up, owning expensive cars and flying first class. Being classy is about having style and taking care to be polite to others and to reflect a genuine interest in them. It is also about being confident in yourself. Here's a little guide list on how to be classy, or: selfless, generous, compassionate and responsible. 1- Treat others the way you would want to be treated . The Golden Rule truly is a time honored guide for treating adults and children with class. Giving others advance notice before cancelling dinner invitations, speaking up for those who cannot stand up for themselves, calling your parents to update them on yourself, checking in with friends; these are all simple gestures that demonstrate your class and authenticity. Ensure you choose friends who share your values. 2- Choose your battles, choose your friends . Few battles are truly worth fighting. Stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves (the elderly, children,...

Ok now I wonder if the FB marketing people can read our minds... We all know that they will pick up on words we write, find the interest we might have and then post ads about it on our pages. Common knowledge. HOWEVER this goes beyond big brother.... today at lunch I bumped into a friend of mine that told me that he has been working as a consultant for the RICHARDS brand in Brazil. I come back home and I am now receiving ads about RICHARDS. I certainly hope that this is JUST a weird coincidence. And if this is not a coincidence, I want to know HOW THEY DO IT!! Does the Facebook iPhone app capture what you say as well??? YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf. ! a

(GREAT ARTICLE BY TIM ROGERS) By Tim Rogers Everyone should love Brazilian tourists. They spend more per capita than any other nationality. Worldwide, Brazilian tourists shell out an average of $43.3 million a day, dropping a gigantesco $1.4 billion last April alone, up 83% from the same period last year, according to the Brazil's Central Bank. In 2010, 1.2 million Brazilians visited the United States, injecting $5.9 billion into the U.S. economy. Even exclusive ski resorts in Vermont are scrambling to hire Portuguese-speaking ski instructors to meet the unexpected and rapidly growing demand from thousands of adventurous Brazilians who want to samba down the slopes. "Brazil is our fastest growing international market — up 20% from last season," says Chris Belanger of Stowe Mountain Resort. Not that the U.S. has made it particularly easy for os turistas brasileiros to visit. Instead of rolling out the red carpet for the travelers from the increasingly we...

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr

Have you noticed that even though you have lots of friends on FACEBOOK, you only seem to interact with the same group of friends? That's because FACEBOOK decided that for you as a default. There is a setting that you can click and decide if you want to only interact with the people you exchange posts and messages the most. If you want to be able to interact and see what your other friends are up to, all you have to do is to scroll down to the base of the main wall page and there will be a box that says on the left "OLDER POSTS" and on the right you will see a button that says "EDIT OPTIONS". Click that link and choose the option that you would like. And voilá, you will see your wall change! Você já reparou que, mesmo você tendo vários amigos no FACEBOOK, você acaba só interagindo com as mesmas pessoas de sempre? Isso acontece por que o FACEBOOK tem um default no setting que decide que você deve só ver os status das pessoas que você mais interage. O...

LOCATION: Rua Pará between Rua Bahia and Rua Ceará - São Paulo/Brazil Nature's fury - right around the corner. This is the result of a 10 minute tropical storm that happened this afternoon, here in São Paulo. These pictures were taken half a block from my family's home.

Troque as lâmpadas e evite uma termelétrica Se todas as famílias brasileiras trocassem apenas duas lâmpadas comuns de casa por fluorescentes, a economia gerada evitaria a construção de uma nova usina termelétrica no país, o tipo que mais emite gases de efeito estufa.

Li na revista da TAM, na ponte-aérea RIO-SP e resolvi postar. Bem legal essa entrevista com o Jorge Mautner. Vale a pena ler. JORGE MAUTNER A palavra de ordem mundial é ser como o Brasil { dezembro de 2010 } Não é de hoje que o filósofo, escritor, cantor e compositor está na trincheira da luta pela cultura brasileira. Integrante da Tropicália nos anos 1970, já defendia que no Brasil aconteceria “a nova coisa” desde o seu livro de estreia – Deus da Chuva e da Morte, publicado em 1962 e vencedor do prêmio Jabuti daquele ano. O carioca conversou com o Almanaque na sua cidade pouco antes de embarcar para o Recife. Lá, o autor da trilogia do Kaos lançaria com o maracatu Estrela de Ouro o álbum Kaosnavial. A parceria teve início nas viagens que fez por todo o País, apresentando pontos de cultura na série Amálgama Brasil, da tevê pública. Depois de tanta estrada, garante, extasiado, que o potencial brasileiro finalmente se concretiza: “Agora nós atingimos o mome...

Silenciosamente, ao redor do mundo, bilhões de abelhas estão sendo mortas , ameaçando assim nossas plantações e segurança alimentar. Porém a proibição de um tipo de pesticida, poderia salvar as abelhas da extinção. Desde que este veneno foi proibido em quatro países europeus, a população de abelhas já está se recuperando. Mas empresas químicas estão fazendo um lobby forte para manter a sua pesticida letal no mercado. Um chamado para baní-la nos EUA e na União Europeia, onde o debate é mais forte, poderá desencadear ações de outros governos ao redor do mundo. Vamos fazer um zumbido global gigante para banir este veneno perigoso nos EUA e Europa a não ser que hajam evidências de que ele seja seguro. Assine a petição para salvar abelhas e as nossas plantações e encaminhe para todos: http://www.avaaz.org/po/save_the_bees/?rc=fb (se o link não funcionar, por favor copie e cole)

Interesting article by Roger Cohen (NYT) The Real Threat to America By ROGER COHEN LONDON — The full-body scanners and intrusive pat-downs that are fast becoming the norm at U.S. airports — just in time for Thanksgiving! — do at least provide the answer to what should be done with Osama bin Laden if he’s ever captured: Rotate him in perpetuity through this security hell, “groin checks” and all. He’ll crumple fast and wonder that 19 young guys in four planes could so warp the nervous system of the world’s most powerful nation that it has empowered zealous bureaucrats to trample on the liberties for which Americans give thanks this week. In his stupor, arms raised as his body gets “imaged,” arms outstretched through “enhanced” patting, bin Laden might also wonder at just how stupid it is to assemble huge crowds at the Transportation Security Administration’s airport checkpoints, as if hundreds of people on planes were the only hundreds of peop...
