Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers Islands in the stream Tradução
Dolly Rebecca Parton , Tennessee, 19 de janeiro de 1946 - Cantora, compositora, atriz e filantropa norte-americana mais conhecida pelo seu trabalho na música country. É considerada um dos maiores nomes na história da musica mundial, sendo reconhecida como "Rainha da Musica Country". Nascida em 1946, Dolly Parton, a filha de um fazendeiro, começou a compor e cantar na infância e, com 18 anos, foi para Nashville. Em 1967 entrou para a dupla Porter Wagoner no lugar de Norma Jean. No ano seguinte já ambos ganhavam o prêmio de "Melhor Dueto do Ano", da Academia de Música Country. Em 1974, o seu primeiro LP solo "Jolene" fez muito sucesso nos EUA. Aos poucos, as suas composições abandonavam os temas country e Dolly começava a sua carreira a solo. Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris e Maria Muldaur gravaram canções suas, Whitney Houston gravou a música I Will Always Love You, composição de Dolly, e em 2008, Dolly participou no álbum Do You Know da cantora americana Jessica Simpson, compondo e cantando a faixa que nomeia o disco, entre outras grandes colaborações e composições. Em 1977, fez o seu primeiro espectáculo na Inglaterra, para um público de rock, no Teatro Rainbow. No ano seguinte, ganhou o primeiro disco de ouro, com "Here You Come Again", onde afastou bastante o seu trabalho do country, e as suas influências de rock desagradavam cada vez mais os puristas. Dolly Parton revelou-se uma atriz competente ao participar no filme "Como Eliminar seu Chefe" ao lado de Jane Fonda e ...

Tenerife disaster.
Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com The Tenerife disaster took place on March 27, 1977, at 17:06:56 local time (also GMT), when two Boeing 747 airliners collided at Los Rodeos (TCI) on the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, killing 583 people. The accident still has the highest number of fatalities (excluding ground fatalities) of any single accident in aviation history. The aircraft involved were Pan Am Flight 1736, named Clipper Victor, under the command of Captain Victor Grubbs, and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Flight 4805, named Rijn (Rhine River), under the command of Captain Jacob Veldhuyzen van Zanten. KLM 4805, taking off on the only runway of the airport, crashed into the Pan Am aircraft which was taxiing on the same runway. Tenerife North Airport (TFN) (then called Los Rodeos - TCI), is situated in the northern part of Tenerife, and is now used mainly for flights within the Canary Islands and flights from the Spanish mainland. We Will remember the People died in the crash. And hope it will never happen again.

BBC: Bee Gees: In Our Own Time
Documentary following the fascinating, and at times turbulent, story of the Bee Gees, one of the most successful bands of all time. This is the story of three very close brothers, tied together by familial love and a natural aptitude and obsession for all things musical. Born on the Isle of Man but raised in Manchester, the Brothers Gibb - eldest brother Barry and twins Robin and Maurice - were whisked to Australia by their parents at an impressionable age in search of a better life. Australia, for the Gibb family, was the start of a new adventure and a new career. From childhood stardom to the first flashes of fame on the coat tails of 1960s Beatlemania, the Bee Gees enjoyed number one successes with hits like Massachusetts and I've Got to Get a Message to You. The early 1970s saw a spell in the musical wilderness, but eventually led to the Bee Gees discovering a whole new musical direction and, more importantly, Barry's unique falsetto voice. The phenomenon of Saturday Night Fever in 1977 brought the band worldwide success, and identified them as the band that defined disco. A career as songwriters, and success with Barbra Streisand and number one hits like Islands in the Stream by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, meant a brief hiatus for the Bee Gees as a group. But, true to form, they returned with number one successes in the late 1980s with hits such as You Win Again. The unexpected and sudden death of Maurice in 2003 meant the end of the Bee Gees as we know it, and ...

Susan Tyrrell Oscar Nominee For Fat City Dies
Susan Tyrrell an eccentric husky voiced character actress best known for her Oscar nominated supporting role as a blowsy barfly in director John Huston's 1972 movie Fat City has died. She was 67. Tyrrell died Saturday at her home in Austin Texas according to the Travis County medical examiner. The cause of death was not yet known. The actress whose many film credits included Islands in the Stream 1977 Angel 1984 and Cry Baby 1990 already had played a number of colorful character roles on stage in New York before being cast in Fat City a boxing drama starring Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges. In his review the Los Angeles Times' Charles Champlin wrote that Tyrrell's whining self dramatizing barfly who takes up with Keach's small time boxer after her own man goes to jail gives an enormous vitality to the movie. Critics hailed her as one of the best screen drunks they'd ever seen Roderick Mann later wrote in The Times. I adored her Keach told The Times on Tuesday. I loved her whiskey voice she had this voice that just reeked of soul and sweetness. She was like the Billie Holiday of the dispossessed. Keach also starred with Tyrrell in the 1976 film The Killer Inside Me in which she played a prostitute who became the victim of Keach's psychopathic sheriff. She always played these sort of battered sensual sexy vulnerable women sort of a beat up Marilyn Monroe he said. She always had a vulnerability about her that was engaging and she had a wonderful sense of humor. She was one of a ...

Absolute Body Control
Epopoeia of the Food and Drink of the United States (A Dream in Hell)
1
Beautiful like a baby calf is the song of chicken fried with batter,
the long red and white picnic tablecloth is finer than the finest lady’s legs, the finest thing there is to embark upon a heaping bowl of coleslaw,
shrimp from the gulf coast are delicious, gushing with wine as if feeling,
like honey mussels, in Redmond or Olympia, harvested by fishwives, in the seaweed,
and the glory of banjos in Baton Rouge, their juices course through them like
ageless autumn lemons,
like mom's fragrant pot pie, chocked full of juicy stew, widens the gullet,
and, baked, cries out blooming peach tree blossoms.
2
What would you say to some barbecue ribs, burning hot
grilled on a charcoal fire in June on the banks of a man made lake,
pines or cedar trees that sum up the dramatic atmosphere of a
damp sunset at Lake Lanier or Stone Mountain,
or to a clam chowder, whose name is inextricably related to Manhattan or
Rhode Island or New England?
No, you hunt quail and you grill it, just like you hear honky-tonk or stars and stripes
at the feet of Mount Rushmore, and fried catfish along the Chattahoochee
where it leaps into the sacred sizzling skillet, superbly fine
river fish, makes fishing boats rich while the sisters Lee,
as if in pain, sweat what's human and divine on the grand antique family fiddle.
3
Tremendous turkeys that smell like summer, almost human, autumn shades of
walnut or chestnut, I eat them everywhere, and in D.C. I kiss them,
like the vats where barley sighs like the prettiest girl in Jersey
raising her skirt underneath the lights of the big apple, same
as the roof off of a block party with streamers and flags where we drink in red plastic cups
a substantial whiskey and beer,
or the love mattress, upon which we set sail and sighing face each other and
the night’s tremendous oceans, into whose horrible darkness,
black and tenacious flows the bloody calla lily,
or the teardrop that falls in our moths as we joyfully sing.
4
Napa Valley wine is enormous and dark in the California sunset, and when
it's in your blood, nostalgia
and the apology to heroism sing in the wheels of spurs to
the beast’s hide, dancing to the fundamental tune of backwater rapids
against the frothy red glare.
5
Nicely aged bourbon bellows in its cellars like a great sacred cow,
and St. Louis will be golden, like a rib-eye on the grill, all over
the bloodied paths towards Oklahoma, autumn's
guitar will weep like a soldier's widow,
and we'll remember everything we didn’t do and could have and
should have and wanted to, like a madman
staring down a town's abandoned well,
watching, ear shattering, the engines of youth rev down dawn's
wide gust
crumbling like memories in the abyss.
6
The saddle glows all across the Midwest, mountain range to mountain range, booming like a great combine with its 20 foot span, booming
like a cow auctioneer or a righteous pastor or tornado season,
lasso raised up against the sky
on top of a guffaw, a hyuck or a yeehaw, splashed with sun and hard work, where manure perfumes dung heaps like a domestic god, with tremendous balls like a widow.
7
A mighty log cabin with its open yard, apple trees, front porch
scented with remote antiquity,
where the bootlegger and his still would sing, drop by drop, a sense of eternity into
the water, recalling old ancestors with its tremulous pendulum,
exists, same as in Madison as in Franklin or Fairview or Springfield,
although it’s the little town of Hodgenville Kentucky that most proudly proclaims the wooden troughs or pig iron pots, wide open spaces, the Appalachians, the original wild west, civil war and emancipation, in little log cabins,
from Tennessee to Ohio, who express it proudly in tremendous language, eating ears of pigs eating ears of corn.
8
Because, if it's necessary to stuff yourself with hot dogs in a Detroit Coney before dying,
on a rainy day, blessed with a strawberry milkshake from fresh upstate dairy, and smoke, bathing in conversation, friends and the munchies, launching yourself into terrible leaps and bounds, blubbering, savoring the booming chili in spoonfuls and fries,
it's also necessary to get your meat from the Kansas City stockyards in March, when the pigs
look like televangelists and the televangelists look like swine or hippopotamus,
and wash the food down with some fiery sips from a short glass,
yes... in Dallas or Fort Worth the corn tortillas look like the local ladies: wide white waists and sleepy half moon eyes, since, ticklish and cuddly,
they turn their faces, and let themselves be kissed, unendingly on either end.
9
And the chit'lins, swimming and searing in broth and tabasco, and the cornbread that moaned in broiling bacon fat, is blessed where thunder rolls in wide whips, along the Mississippi,between one drink and the next,
but it never surpasses a gamy partridge, savored in the dry underbrush of July,

[ Full Screen recommended ]

■ The Short Film ■
"Glued to his TV set, a man channel-surfs frenetically, zapping from one stultifying show to the other. As he grows more and more indifferent to the constant stream of violent and crude images, he stands up and engages himself in an unspeakable act of self-liberation."
- Meliès d'Or 2008 Best Short Film Nominee
- Best Special FX: South African Horror Fest 2008
- 2d Audience Award: FantosFreak X Festival 2009
SNIP has been screened at more than 60 festivals all over the world including FanTasia, Austin Fantastic Fest, BIFFF, ScreamFest LA, L'Etrange Festival, Sitges, Science+Fiction Trieste, Rhode Island Int. Film Fest, A Night of Horror Sidney, Germany Fantasy FilmFest etc.
■ Some Quotes ■
"An uncompromising creative force."
Nacho Cerdà (Aftermath, Genesis, The Abandoned)
"As Sharp as Scorsese's The Big Shave and absurd as Kafka's Metamorphosis, SNIP stands out as a bold accomplishment."
Fabrice Du Welz (The Ordeal, Vinyan)
"Dark and very disturbing. 12 minutes of helplessness and eventual self expression by the edge of a knife. Wow!"
Andrew Mack (Twitch)
"SNIP ratchets the audience pain level to the maximum."
Donato Totaro (Offscreen)
"When you can't strike out against the world, that only leaves one option. This self-punishing short may very well have the audience running for air..."
Zack Carlson (Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Fantastic Fest)
"It'll creep the audience out for sure, in the same way Buñuel and Dalí's Andalusian Dog did in the 30's."
Fernando Secco (Revista Moviola)
"This short makes the Saw and Hostel series seem like Nickelodeon television for horror fans"

The Dhammapada (Sayings of the Buddha)
The Dhammapada
Translated by Thomas Byrom
1. Choices
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our
thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws
the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our
thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed
me."
Live with such thoughts and you live in
hate.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed
me."
Abandon such thoughts, and live in
love.
In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.
You too shall pass away.
Knowing this, how can you quarrel?
How easily the wind overturns a frail
tree.
Seek happiness in the senses,
Indulge in food and sleep,
And you too will be uprooted.
The wind cannot overturn a mountain.
Temptation cannot touch the man
Who is awake, strong and humble,
Who masters himself and minds the
dharma.
If a man's thoughts are muddy,
If he is reckless and full of deceit,
How can he wear the yellow robe?
Whoever is master of his own nature,
Bright, clear and true,
He may indeed wear the yellow robe.
Mistaking the false for the true,
And the true for the false,
You overlook the heart
And fill yourself with desire.
See the false as false,
The true as true.
Look into your heart.
Follow your nature.
An unreflecting mind is a poor roof.
Passion, like the rain, floods the house.
But if the roof is strong, there is
shelter.
Whoever follows impure thoughts
Suffers in this world and the next.
In both worlds he suffers
And how greatly
When he sees the wrong he has done.
But whoever follows the dharma
Is joyful here and joyful there.
In both worlds he rejoices
And how greatly
When he sees the good he has done.
For great is the harvest in this world,
And greater still in the next.
However many holy words you read,
However many you speak,
What good will they do you
If you do not act upon them?
Are you a shepherd
Who counts another man's sheep,
Never sharing the way?
Read as few words as you like,
And speak fewer.
But act upon the dharma.
Give up the old ways Passion,
enmity, folly.
Know the truth and find peace.
Share the way.
2. Wakefulness
Wakefulness is the way to life.
The fool sleeps
As if he were already dead,
But the master is awake
And he lives forever.
He watches.
He is clear.
How happy he is!
For he sees that wakefulness is life.
How happy he is,
Following the path of the awakened.
With great perseverance
He meditates, seeking
Freedom and happiness.
So awake, reflect, watch.
Work with care and attention.
Live in the way
And the light will grow in you.
By watching and working
The master makes for himself an
island
Which the flood cannot overwhelm.
The fool is careless.
But the master guards his watching.
It is his most precious treasure.
He never gives in to desire.
He meditates.
And in the strength of his resolve
He discovers true happiness.
He overcomes desire And
from the tower of his wisdom
He looks down with dispassion
Upon the sorrowing crowd.
From the mountain top
He looks down at those
Who live close to the ground.
Mindful among the mindless,
Awake while others dream,
Swift as the race horse
He outstrips the field.
By watching
Indra became king of the gods.
How wonderful it is to watch.
How foolish to sleep.
The beggar who guards his mind
And fears the waywardness of his
thoughts
Burns through every bond
With the fire of his vigilance.
The beggar who guards his mind
And fears his own confusion
Cannot fall.
He has found his way to peace.
3. Mind
As the fletcher whittles
And makes straight his arrows,
So the master directs
His straying thoughts.
Like a fish out of water,
Stranded on the shore,
Thoughts thrash and quiver,
For how can they shake off desire?
They tremble, they are unsteady,
They wander at their own will.
It is good to control them,
And to master them brings happiness.
But how subtle they are,
How elusive!
The task is to quieten them,
And by ruling them to find happiness.
With single-mindedness
The master quells his thoughts.
He ends their wandering.
Seated in the cave of the heart,
He finds freedom.
How can a troubled mind
Understand the way?
If a man is disturbed
He will never be filled with knowledge.
An untroubled mind,
No longer seeking to consider
What is right and what is wrong,
A mind beyond judgements,
Watches and understands.
Know that the body is a fragile jar,
And make a castle of your mind.
In every trial
Let understanding fight for you
To defend what you have won.
For soon the body is discarded,
Then what does it feel?
A useless log of wood, it lies on the
ground,
Then what does i

Buck Billo and Maxi sing "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers. At the time the band broke up, Rogers was severely in debt and Jolly Rogers was out of business. In order to jump-start his career, he signed to United Artists in 1975, and with the help of producer Larry Butler, he devised an accessible, radio-ready, and immaculately crafted take on country-pop that leaned toward adult contemporary pop, not country. "Love Lifted Me," his debut single for the label, was a minor hit early in 1976, but it took a full year for Rogers to have a genuine breakthrough hit with "Lucille." Climbing to number one early in 1977, "Lucille" not only was a major country hit, earning the Country Music Association's Single of the Year award, but it also was a huge crossover success, peaking at number five on the pop charts. For the next six years, Rogers had a steady string of Top Ten hits on both the country and pop charts. His crossover success is important — his lush, easy listening productions and smooth croons showed that country stars could conquer the pop audience, if produced and marketed correctly. During the late '70s and early '80s, much of country radio was dominated either by urban cowboy or country-pop in the vein of Rogers' own singles. Between 1978 and 1980, he had five straight number one country singles — "Love or Something Like It," "The Gambler," "She Believes in Me," "You Decorated My Life," "Coward of the County" — most of which also reached the pop Top Ten. In addition to his solo ...
