"I live in Ireland that is true, only the truth and nothing but the truth. And it's not a stereotype and the drinking age it's just a minor inconvenience in the progression towards drinking more and more, of course until liver or heart decides to complain about, and that might be the only moment when drinking is reconsidered. I would like to highlight reconsidered because serious warning might not have an effect in most cases. You won't believe it until you see it with your own eyes. :(" - Cibeles

"This is pathetic, that a blogger would criticise Robert Pattinson just to get readers because it's the latest fashionable thing to do if you want Digg readers. And more pathetic all the ones that go alone with it without even doing a real effort in considering honestly whether he can do it or someone else might be more suitable. It's pathetic, how he's become the perfect target if you wan to get readers (at this stage I'm not even considering if they are men those readers, as they behave like bullying cheerleaders from high school). The sign of a bad blogger writing about movies: he starts bitching about Robert Pattinson. Pathetic" - Cibeles

"The best thing that could happened to this comment is that is ignored. Anyway there it goes. First, you guys bitching about Robert Pattinson looks really gay. You look a bunch of women talking bad about another girl just because she is pretty o boys pay more attention to her. Oh my God! I'm again in High School and the cheerleaders and bullying everyone in sight. You look a bunch of women or a bunch of gays any of the two but certainly not men. Men real men don't care about this kind of shit, get over it and grow up kiddos. Second, and more relevant to the article, I'm not saying there can't be better actors around, but several of the ones mention or most of the ones mentioned in the blog are simply too old to be Kurt Cobain even though they are terrific actors (Paul Bettany, Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Hugh Jackman, Ben Stiller, Liam Neeson, Kevin James, Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Paul Rudd, Hal Holbrook, Michael Douglas, Paul Newman's corpse, very funny the Paul..." - Cibeles

If you use the Gmail theme "Tea House" you may not have noticed that, late at night, the ghosts come out to play. Have you found any other easter eggs in Gmail's themes? - Carlos Granier-Phelps from Bookmarklet

In Singapore, I can also see some. Like in the Phantasea theme, usually water is deep blue, but when getting late (2200pm i guess), it will become purple. and deep in the night( 3 or 4 AM, not sure, because usually never bother to look at clock at that time) it will be like bloody red. - Kloan Zh

hope you feel unbad soon. - Vicarbott

Yeah, they seem OK now. There was one tooth that was almost impossible to fill, since it was in such bad shape (they struggled to fit a metal band around it, several times), but they managed it eventually. It's not as if I don't take care of them, either. Such is life... - Tyson Key

I wouldn't - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

I don't understand why this is even an issue. No one would dream of a thread "Would you hire a black babysitter" or "Would you hire a female manager" Making a decision based on gender is sexist and discriminatory. Pedophiles are usually men, really? Based on what? Would it be right to say most murderers are black? Could use the same logic. - Stephanie Sanders

flujo de video me parece, aunque es difícil pensar una traducción cuando casi en todos lados se retoma el término en inglés. Buena suerte - Matias

Thanks for the help and the links. :) I didn't have the time to come here before, very sorry for thanking so late. Matias, me temo que ese termino ingles se va a adoptar en español, es muy dificil de traducir y suelo encontrar terminos españoles para casi todo, Pero ese no soy capaz. :( Gracias por la ayuda. - Cibeles

Water http://www.linktv.org/water Will the wars of the 21st century be fought over water? The health of the human race and the global eco-system largely depends on access to clean water and sanitation. Yet, according to the UNDP over 1 billion people worldwide lack access to clean water, and 2.4 billion do not have access to basic sanitation. With water and sanitation having such a heavy impact on poverty and economic and social development, political stability in water-deficient countries is in jeopardy. - Cibeles from Bookmarklet

"Web work doesn’t necessarily involve earning an income. Through the Internet, we can give back to the global community and do a different kind of online work — volunteering. Here are some ways to use a little of your time to help others. Look for organizations that you can work with online. Many non-profit organizations have some volunteers working only through the Internet. The United Nations has a database of online opportunities for which you can apply. NABUUR is another online volunteering platform that connects local communities with online volunteers. For both sites, you can choose from a variety of tasks, including research, translation, writing, design and much more." - Cibeles from Bookmarklet

Why all the judgment, hang-ups, and differences if it's one gender or the other as the older/younger party. Why can't two adults make up their own minds about what is appropriate for them? - Tinfoil 2.0

"Are you thinking about starting a garden this year? Do you just have room for a windowbox or perhaps one little pot? Are you trying to choose between a pot of flowers and a kitchen herb or vegetable? Well, you really don't have make that last decision, at least. You can have your salad and your flowers at the same time: grow lovely, delicious nasturtiums!" - Cibeles from Bookmarklet

"Beginning next week in the Kitchn Cure, I'm going to start giving techniques for cooking by instinct rather than by recipe. In most places in the world, spring is a great time of year to try this style of free-hand cooking because inspiring ingredients, produce in particular, are bountiful. Ironically, the best place to start is not at the farmers' market, but at the grocery store. Sure, those fiddlehead ferns are sure pretty, but what are you going to do with them? You need to stock your pantry." - Cibeles from Bookmarklet

"Severe droughts lasting centuries have happened often in West Africa's recent history, and another one is almost inevitable, researchers say. Analysis of sediments in a Ghanaian lake shows the last of these "megadroughts" ended 250 years ago. Writing in the journal Science, the researchers suggest man-made climate change may make the situation worse. But, they say, the droughts are going to happen again anyway, and societies should begin planning for them." - Cibeles from Bookmarklet

"Question: What Are the Best Ways for a Vegan to Get Protein? I am thinking of switching to a vegan diet, but I am afraid I won't get enough protein. What are some good ways to get enough protein from a vegan diet? -Megan, About.com User Answer: Plant-based foods contain protein, but not as much as animal-based foods, so it's understandable why a vegan may be concerned about getting enough protein in her diet. Legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains are vegan diet staples that contain protein. However, these plant proteins don't have all of the essential amino acids your body needs (why they're also referred to as incomplete proteins)." - Cibeles from Bookmarklet

"There are three macronutrients in nutrition, better known as fats, carbohydrates and protein. You will easily find all three of these nutrients in your diet every day, but not always as the healthiest versions. You might already have a good idea about what a good carbohydrate is (complex carbohydrate with lots of fiber) verses a bad carbohydrate (table sugar or high fructose corn syrup). And bad fats (saturated fats and trans fats) verses good fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats). So what makes a protein a good protein? Unlike fats or carbohydrates, which can be good for you or bad for you based on their natural biochemistry, all dietary proteins are about equal. The quality of a protein mostly depends on how the food source is prepared or what fats naturally accompany the protein." - Cibeles from Bookmarklet

"Eating healthy foods really isn't a diet in the way we think of weight loss diets and fad diets, it's the foods you eat. Your diet is just one part of your lifestyle. Unfortunately many people don't eat healthy foods, and eating an unhealthy diet leads to weight gain, chronic disease and just feeling lousy. If you don't think your diet is on the right track, this six-week email course will help you take the steps to turn your not-so-healthy diet around. You're going to take this slowly, one step at a time, so that each step becomes a way of life. Each week you will receive a lesson that features just one step to focus on. After each week, you will then be one step closer to your goal, whether it is to lose weight, gain weight, or improve your health. Then, down the road, if your old bad eating habits come back, you can take the course over again, just to brush up your healthy eating skills." - Cibeles from Bookmarklet

"A “time traveller’s phrasebook” that could allow basic communication between modern English speakers and Stone Age cavemen is being compiled by scientists studying the evolution of language. Research has identified a handful of modern words that have changed so little in tens of thousands of years that ancient hunter-gatherers would probably have been able to understand them. Anybody who was catapulted back in time to Ice Age Europe would stand a good chance of being intelligible to the locals by using words such as “I”, “who” and “thou” and the numbers “two”, “three” and “five”, the work suggests. More nuanced conversation would be more of a challenge. The analysis of language evolution suggests that none of the adjectives, verbs and nouns used in modern languages would have much in common with those used then." - Cibeles from Bookmarklet

"Western culture seems at war with itself over moral values. This conflict, pundits tell us, has two opposing sides. On one side are those who believe one lives a moral life by following rules handed down by tradition and religion. This group accuses the other side of being "relativists" without values. Is this a legitimate dichotomy, and where does Buddhism fit into it? "Dictatorship of Relativism" Shortly before he was named Pope Benedict XVI in April 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said, "Relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, looks like the only attitude acceptable to today’s standards… We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as definitive and has as its highest value one’s own ego and one’s own desires."" - Cibeles from Bookmarklet
