KINDS OF FOOD. Raw Food Certain cultures highlight animal and vegetable foods in their raw state. Salads consisting of raw vegetables or fruits are common in many cuisines. Sashimi in Japanese cuisine consists of raw sliced fish or other meat, and sushi often incorporates raw fish or seafood. Steak tartare and salmon tartare are dishes made from diced or ground raw beef or salmon, mixed with various ingredients and served with baguette, brioche or frites. In Italy, carpaccio is a dish of very thin sliced raw beef, drizzled with a vinaigrette made with olive oil.

Who never heard the legend about a giant alligator inhabit the sewers of New York City? An urban legend, urban myth, urban tale, or contemporary legend, is a form of modern folklore consisting of apocryphal stories believed by their tellers to be true. As with all folklore and mythology, the designation suggests nothing about the storys truth or falsehood, but merely that it is in circulation, exhibits variation over time, and carries some significance that motivates the community in preserving and propagating it. Despite its name, an urban legend does not necessarily originate in an urban area. Rather, the term is used to differentiate modern legend from traditional folklore in pre-industrial times. For this reason, sociologists and folklorists prefer the term contemporary legend. Urban legends are sometimes repeated in news stories and, in recent years, distributed by e-mail. People frequently allege that such tales happened to a friend of a friend - so often, in fact, that friend of a friend (FOAF), has become a commonly used term when recounting this type of story. Some urban legends have passed through the years with only minor changes to suit regional variations. One example is the Bloody Mary story, recently published in a famous comic book in Brazil Monicas Gang as the Blondie Mary. The legend goes exactly as described in the story and just like the drawing, the story is specifically about a blonde girl. By adding the Brazilian legend with the American one, Monicas Gang came up with the story Blondie Mary. Now, lets meet the American version:A long time ago there was a little girl named Mary. She grew very ill and fell into a deep coma. The local doctor was old and feeble and without knowing any better, he believed she was dead. He informed the family and they had a funeral and buried the poor girl alive! Marys family lived very close to the graveyard where she was laid to rest. The first night, Marys mother thought that she heard a scream coming from Marys grave, but no one believed her. Days later, Marys mother convinced the family to dig up her grave. When they did, they found Mary dead, but they also saw scratches on the top of the coffin and Marys fingernails were bloody from her efforts to escape the grave.Now if you follow these instructions, you may be able to see Mary for yourself. At midnight on Friday the 13th, turn off all the lights in your house. Go to the bathroom and turn on the water in the shower and the sink. Flush the toilet, look into the mirror and say Bloody Mary 5 times. She will appear in mirror. You need to hurry and turn on the light or she will stab you in the back.Whatever their purpose, story telling has been a passion of humankind throughout history, and urban legends are nothing new. They are, in a sense, social theater, and are here to stay, good and bad alike. It may be wise to pay a little more attention, however, the next time
someone starts a story with, You know what happened to a friend of mine?Now, what about you? Do you believe in Urban Legend?Do you like to hear these kinds of stories?Do you know any? If yes, share with us!Come on, dont be afraid. Its almost Halloween, time for spooky stories!!!! By Caroline Azevedo Montello
"Music is part of the Brazilian soul, and rhythm is in the way people speak, in the way they walk, and in the way they play soccer (...)Music is a passport to happiness for Brazilians, an escape from everyday frustrations and (for most) a hard and difficult material life. 'There's an amazing magical, mystical quality to Brazilian music. Their music is paradise' says jazz flutist Herbie Mann"(Chris McGowan and Ricardo Pessanha) Musica Popular Brasileira, or MPB, literally "Brazilian Popular Music", designates a trend in post-Bossa Nova urban popular music. Signifying much more than the sum of the three words would indicate, "MPB" is a contemporary trend that has brought the world many renowned Brazilian artists. The term can mean either any kind of music with Brazilian origins or a voice and guitar style that arose in the late 1960s. As much as bossa nova, MPB was born out of an attempt to produce a Brazilian "national" music, thus revitalizing traditional styles. MPB made a considerable impact at that time, boosted by several televised music festivals, where the acronym was popularized. The beginning of MPB is often associated with Elis Regina s interpretation of the mysterious Arrastao, by Vinicius de Moraes and Edu Lobo in 1965, on the nationally broadcast Festival de Musica Popular Brasileira interpreting this song which won the first prize Gold Medal and Elis won the singing prize. Chico Buarque is a leading MPB singersongwriterThe conjuncture that created the MPB movement ceased to exist after 1969, but the acronym has survived, even though with a less specific meaning. Transforming from a left-wing musical movement, MPB became the core of Brazil's urban middle-class music, and the term still indicates a certain aesthetic quality in modern Brazilian music. Bebel Gilberto: daughter of Joao Gilberto and singer MiuchaSeveral artists associated with the MPB sound since the 1960s and 1970s remain active, including Chico Buarque, Milton Nascimento, Caetano Veloso, Ivan Lins, Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, and Maria Bethania. Younger artists whose work has been identified with MPB include Maria Rita, Bebel Gilberto, Marisa Monte, Vanessa da Mata, Adriana Calcanhotto, Sabrina Malheiros, and Roberta Sa. Just to conclude I would like amplify our discussion, not talking just about one style of music, but about its importance in our society -- music as whole. Imagine the world without music... it would be a very quiet place, don't you think? Music is a reminder of how things once were, an indication of how things are, and a view of where society is headed. Music is a direct reflection of the picture of society. Music can be a way to deliver messages, a poetic medium, a fine art, or nothing more than a source of entertainment. No matter what it is used for, music is the perfect art. After this brief description of MPB, I would like to know your opinion about some topics involving ONLY brazilian music: What kind of music do you usually listen to? Which one(s) do you recommend? (please mention some singers and/or bands) How important is music in your life?That's all
politics is the cause of most ills affecting society. It is necessary to give place to an egalitarian government, combating illegal politics, so we can change our conception of what is politics.What is your conception about politics? By Elizama Pastana
We are in the end of the semester and the only thing we wish is to be on vacation. But now we are adults and vacation is not like in the time we were kids ; when we would spend lots of hours in front of TV, watch our favorite cartoons, play videogames and play a lot with our friends... Didnt you feel something on your heart? A mix of nostalgia and joy or the wish to come back to past and to be a child again (for some moments of course)? Lets remind some cartoons we used to watch in our childhood!!! Almost everybody likes cartoons! With heroes, animals, people, robots...whatever, we always have a favorite one and these animated creatures mark our lives. Besides being funny or touching cartoons may approach themes of everyday life, politic, features of society etc. Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner Created in 1948 for Warner Bros, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner are characters of Looney Tunes but they star in a series of long-running series. Its creator said he created the Coyote-Road Runner cartoons as a parody of traditional "cat and mouse" cartoons such as Tom and Jerry. A desert is the scenery for the adventures. Coyote is always trying to catch Road Runner, but the latter is so smart and fast, then he never succeeds. Its is interesting that in the beginning of each episode there is always a square with scientific names for the characters written in pseudo-Latin, such as: Velocitus Tremenjus and Road-Runnerus Digestus or Speedipus Rex and Famishus-Famishus. Even though Coyote is the villain, many people prefer this crazy and funny creature (I do too!). This is one of my favorite cartoons! Smurfs These cute blue creatures were created in 1958 as comics characters, only in the 80s they became animated cartoon. The Smurfs fulfill simple archetypes of everyday people: Lazy Smurf, Grouchy Smurf, Brainy Smurf, and so on. All smurfs, with the exception of Papa, Baby, Smurfette, Nanny and Grandpa, are said to be 100 years old. Some people say this cartoon is communist because everybody is equal in the village; some characters are said to possess features of communist thinkers such as Karl Marx (represented by Papa smurf) and Trotsky (represented by Brainy smurf). The villain Gargamel would represent the USA in its seek for power and wealth. That's interesting, isnt it? Top Cat This funny cartoon created in 1961 was inspired by characters from the popular situation comedy You'll Never Get Rich (later called The Phil Silvers Show). It has also been said that the Bowery Boys influenced the show. A frequent plot-line revolved around the local policeman, Officer Charles "Charlie" Dibble, and his ineffective attempts to evict the gang from the alley. The only reason that he wanted to be rid of them was that Top Cat and his gang were constantly attempting to earn a quick dollarusually through an illegal scam. Top cat and his gang lived in New York, but in the Brazilian dubbing, New York City was substituted for Brasilia. She-ra Hey
girls! Have you ever wanted to be She-ra, princess of power? She-Ra was intended to appeal to young girls in the same way that He-Man appealed to young boys. She-Ra is introduced in the animated movie The Secret of the Sword as Force Captain Adora (She-ra is the alter ego of Princess Adora and the twin sister of He-Man) an agent of the Evil Horde that rules the planet Etheria. She discovers that she is the long-lost sister of Prince Adam of Eternia, having been stolen by the Horde's leader, Hordak, as a baby. She is granted the Sword of Protection, which parallels He-Man's Sword of Power, gaining the power to transform into She-Ra, her secret identity. Bobby's World Who does not remember this little boy and his smooth voice that made mornings happier in the 90s?! Bobbys world is an animated cartoon series about the daily life of Bobby Generic and his very overactive imagination on how he sees the world. Bobbys family was also full of adventures. His mother wan an Elvis Presley fan, his sister was a boring teenager and his brother used to bother him. His uncle Ted was the only one who understood his imaginative mind (sometimes Im just like Bobby)!!!! Bobby was created by the Canadian actor-comedian Howie Mandel who interacted with the boy in the beginning and in the end of each episode.Nice sites: http://www.infantv.com.br/ http://www.arcadovelho.com.brNow guys, let me know:Do you like cartoons?What are you favorite ones?Do you like the ones shown here?By KamilaSantana.
Tattoo: a tradition with different meanings. Rebellion, personality, history. These can be one of the few words that can define the meaning of tattooing among us. In the context of contemporary society, individualism leads many people to make your skin the local registry of ideas, values or simple vanity. One of the most popular records we have about tattoos is the English Captain James Cook when he was trying to get in touch with the natives of Tahiti. The people of that region designated the habit definitely paint the skin to "tatau", because of the noise produced by the instruments used in the manufacture of their tattoos. However, we can not say they were the first to develop such a habit. The man of Otzi with some over 5,300 years, was the envy of any aficionado of tattoos today. On her body were found over fifty tattoos, according to some scholars, had religious meanings. The practice of tattooing was also reported between the Egyptians and the Picts, an ancient civilization of northern Europe. In Brazil, several indigenous tribes bore tattoos. And the Wauja Kadiweus are some of the indigenous peoples who used paint to express final rites of passage and reverence to some elements of nature. Despite the existence of the tattoo, this habit has not become popular on account of indigenous cultures. Were the British sailors, through contact with the Polynesians who spread this practice throughout the world. Reproduction of sea beasts, skulls and vessels showed the adventures of the men who launched the sea. Since the same subjects of little financial condition or social influence, have made something popular among the tattoo ghettos, brothels and taverns frequented by the scum, ie the unemployed, street fighters, criminals and prostitutes. That tone was marginal given the tattoo also meant that bodies were tattooed on the attractions guaranteed presence of so-called circus freak shows. It was only in the second half of the twentieth century that tattooing has incorporated the ideals of Western culture. His tone contesting surpassed barriers becoming a symbol of courage and personality. Personal reasons, delicate and soft also entered the world of tattoos. Men and older women also tattooed their bodies today. She no longer an exclusive item of a youth culture to become an avenue of expression of subjectivity.

By Nicolly Favacho PetsMost people really like them, they are essential to our lifes.Incredible, and unique, you can spend the happiest moments with them.Pets are special animals that we choose to live with us, to give attention, love and care. There are different kinds of pets that you can have. Birds, dogs, and cats.They are funny, hilarious. They make you happy and they make some jokes, and you fall in love much more for them. Or when they fool around and make that face seams that they are apologizing. Than they become so close that
make part of our family.We love and care them as a child, a brother.I had a dog named lion, and when my mother scold me and them he came to me and seemed that he knew that I was sad and he licked me until I got happy again. Sometimes they are connected with us and they feel our feeling, necessity, with a glance.Hachiko: a dog's storyAn American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko. This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work. Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty. Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya station in Japan as a permanent reminder of his devotion and love.See more in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachiko:_A_Dog's_StoryDog owners do look like their pets, say psychologistsResearchers found that members of the public could predict which breed of dog a person would own almost twice as accurately as they should be able to, just by looking at a photograph of their owners.There were a number of physical reasons why owners looks suggested which dog they would have, including what clothes they wore and their build, said Dr Lance Workman, from Bath Spa University.Dog owners really do look like their pets.CockatooThere are many species of cockatoos, but the most common species seen in captivity (in no particular order) include the Moluccan, Goffin's, umbrella, sulfur crested (greater and lesser), and bare eyed cockatoos.Cockatoos are very lively and affectionate birds. They are quite "cuddly" and bond very closely with their owners. However, their sociability and need for affection means they demand a great deal of time from their owners. Deprived of affection, cockatoos will become depressed or exhibit neurotic behaviors. They are intelligent, playful, mischievous, and they can be exceptionally loud. They are somewhat excitable so sometimes don't do that well around young kids.What does make people have a pet?Do you have any funny story with your pet?What kind of pet would you like to have?
