Súplica à América

Súplica à América
de Emanuel Neves

Quando a bola chutada por Alex roçou a trave, eu viajei no tempo. Voltei a ser criança, deitado em meu quarto escuro. Minha janela se iluminava pelos fogos. Vi jogadores em branco e preto correndo para abraçar o gordo goleiro Almeida. Por um átimo, tive nítida a imagem do Sarriá colorado de 1989. Mas um urro de força sobre-humana me despertou do pesadelo. Como há 17 anos, meus olhos estavam mareados. A lembrança da vitória paraguaia começava a sumir da memória. Ao meu redor, vi braços apontando para as estrelas e escutei divinos e impublicáveis impropérios. Eu já não sentia mais a dor que carregava há quase duas décadas. Às margens do Guaíba, eu sentei. E chorei. Enquanto as lágrimas pingavam no solo santo, fui arremessado na corrente do tempo novamente. Estava na arquibancada fria do Gigante, onde hoje se erguem os imponentes camarotes. Ouvia os mais velhos. Desconhecidos, em sua maioria.
Entre cervejas e amendoins, narravam as façanhas do mágico time dos anos 70. Contavam da habilidade de Lula. Do cotovelo de Dom Elias. De Escurinho, o predestinado. De Minelli e seus triângulos. De Caçapava anulando Rivelino. Do mítico Manguita e de tantos outros. Mas todos, sem exceção, se empolgavam ao lembrar da maestria do camisa 5, deus de rara técnica. Havia os mais antigos ainda, que me descreviam o incrível Rolo Compressor, os Eucaliptos, Vicente Rao, Larry, Bodinho, Chinesinho, Odorico, Oreco, Nena, os Gre-Nais do passado, goleadas homéricas e uma infinidade de craques e seus feitos, que me pareciam saídos de um conto. Porém, quando a bola rolava, eu tentava apoiar um time que não estava à altura daquelas histórias. Enquanto o rival empilhava títulos, eu colecionava frustrações. Tinha a certeza inabalável de que havia nascido na época errada. Sentia que perdera nossa época de ouro. Mesmo assim, meu coloradismo arraigado desde o berço só fazia crescer. Nem eu mesmo entendia porque continuava amando tanto aquele clube. Quando Oscar Ruiz apontou o centro do campo, na quinta-feira, eu compreendi. Eu vi a mística alvi-rubra aflorando. Eu vi a vida sendo escrita. Foi reservado para nós, para a nossa geração, levar o Internacional e sua senda de vitórias à plaga mais distante. No momento de desbravar novas terras, a história e seus ciclos nos traz de novo um adversário de força incontestável. Como em 75, contra o Cruzeiro, de Nelinho, Raul e Piazza, uma máquina mineira de jogar bola. Hoje, a coisa parece ser ainda mais complicada.
Prepara-te, torcedor! Tu vais viver as duas semanas mais nervosas de tua vida. Vais sonhar com a vitória e ter pesadelos com a derrota. Quando acordar, sorrirás tranqüilo, ciente de que o verdadeiro sonho ainda está vivo. Os ponteiros de teu relógio não andarão e parecerão retroceder. As folhas de teu calendário teimarão em não cair. Serás fustigado por todos os lados, por quem teme a tua glória. Mas tenhas a certeza absoluta, irmão, de que não estarás sozinho.Para onde tu olhares, verás uma camisa vermelha. Elas se multiplicarão como por obra e graça divina. Nas ruas da cidade. Por onde passares. Em tua mente. Em teu corpo. Use-a. Celebre-a. Ame com ela e a ela. Teus problemas ficam para depois. Teu trabalho fica para depois. Tuas contas ficam para depois. Tua saúde e teu futuro ficam para depois. Tua vida é teu clube e teu clube é tua vida. Respire Inter. Coma e beba Inter. Durma e acorde cada vez mais Inter. Serás colorado antes de seres filho. Serás colorado antes de seres pai, antes de seres marido e mulher. Serás colorado antes de seres humano. Tu és um seguidor. E nada vai te separar na hora mais importante da história de teu time. Da tua história. Da nossa história.
Apoie, sempre e incondicionalmente. Cante a pleno pulmão e quando não o tiver mais. Não esmorecerás nunca! Tu nasceste da negação e és filho da persistência. A garra foi criada à imagem e semelhança da torcida colorada. Em 16 de agosto, tu viverás um dia mágico. Verás uma procissão sem igual. De todos os pagos e rincões, as almas se abalarão até o Gigante. Tu jogarás junto.
Por ti e pela tua família. Pelos que estão vivos e pelos que ainda hão de nascer. Não te preocupes com os que já se foram. Pois eles estarão lá, contigo. O trabalho de um colorado começa nesta vida e continua na próxima. Dos círculos infernais por onde Dante passeou, ao sétimo céu, espíritos imortais estarão presentes e darão seu apoio. Históricos e anônimos. De boa ou má índole. Todos colorados em sua essência. Tu não te preocuparás com o clima. Chuva ou sol. Calor ou frio. Mesmo que o céu mande pedras ou enxofre. Nada te impedirá. Tu estarás no Beira-Rio. Em pé nas arquibancadas, tu olharás para o gramado. Sentirás que o lema criado para a competição mais importante do século está defasado. Já é guerra há muito tempo. Tu não vês mais jogadores. Eles não usam mais uniformes. Vestem armaduras de um rubro sagrado. São templários de tua nação. Travam uma cruzada pacífica, de amor e vibração. Trazem consigo toda a história deste clube e dessa terra. Têm o peito de aço, tal qual Dario. E a humildade de Tesourinha, que jogava por tão somente dois litros de leite. São chimangos e maragatos. São Terra e Cambará. São lanceiros negros, brancos e vermelhos. São o mais fino exemplar da raça gaudéria. Fortes. Aguerridos. Bravos. Contam com toda a virtude derramada sobre o Pampa. Honram ao teu Internacional. Como tu sempre pediste. E te darão a Libertadores, ainda que tardia.Que esta seja a aurora precursora de tua verdadeira época de glórias, meu Colorado. Que tu tenhas valor e constância. Que tua luta não seja ímpia, nem injusta. Que tuas façanhas sirvam de modelo, enfim, à toda a terra. Salve, Bodinho, Dom Elias e também o Falcão. Salve, Tinga, Sóbis e Fernandão. Salve, Feijó, Ballvé, Carvalho e os Poppe Leão. Salve, Minelli, Ênio Andrade, Teté e o Abelão.Salve, ramo de louros, invicto e tri-campeão. Salve, quinta estrela, roubada no Zveittão. Salve, sete Waldomiro, das vaias à redenção. Salve, Célio Silva chutando a bola e o chão. Salve, poeta Nelson Silva. Meu respeito e adoração.
Salve, ao teu Celeiros de Ases, nossa máxima exaltação. Salve, passado alvi-rubro, festa no meu coração. Salve, Rolo Compressor, toda a glória e tradição! Salve, Gol Iluminado, mar vermelho, êxtase e explosão. Salve, velho coreano. Que falta fazes, irmão! Salve, Dunga, Taffarel, Renteria e Perdigão. Por que não? Salve, Librelatto, és anjo rubro e branco junto ao Pai da criação. Salve, Gre-Nal do Século, exemplo de superação. Salve, Fabiano e a inesquecível humilhação. Salve, à Doze, à Fico, à Popular e à Nação! Salve, Salve, à torcida do povão. A maior e melhor desse rincão! Salve, o S, o C e o I, entrelaçados em força e paixão. Salve, Manto Sagrado, objeto de adoração. Salve, Gigante, minha vida e inspiração. Salve, Colorado, muito mais que a religião. Salve, enfim, à América, nossa guerra e obsessão!E todos salvem a ti, Internacional. Que Deus te ilumine e os céus te guiem em tua maior batalha. Como o filho curvado frente ao pai, eu me ajoelho. Peço a benção e estendo a mão. A ti, rogo essa prece. Te saúdo em oração.Toda a honra e toda a força, agora, a ti pertencem. Teu legado alvi-rubro será inexorável e eterno como o Tempo. Como o Vento. Defenderei teu nome, tuas cores e tua bandeira. Contra tudo e contra todos. Ontem, hoje e todo o sempre. Nesse mundo e nos outros.Te dedico a vida e suplico a América.Em nome de toda a família colorada.E que assim seja.

QUICKie 4

UFPR / 99

Call us sentimental, but you can't beat a good old family reunion to give you a warm glow all over. Especially if you know it's the first of many. That's why we took a chair back to a forest, to see the next generation of trees growing up healthy and strong in its place. A sort of trip back to its roots.
We've been working hard to make sure all wood comes from well managed forests, both temperate and tropical, where timber harvesting is carefully regulated, to allow for regrowth.
Working in conjunction with timber traders, foresters, certification organizations, indigenous peoples' groups and environmental institutions, we helped to set up the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
The primary aim of this organization is to promote sustainable forest management, awarding certificates to the ones that make the grade. All wood from these forests is stamped with the FSC trademark, so you can buy it with a clear conscience.
In many countries, major retailers are becoming part of WWF sponsored Buyers Groups, committed to buying timber and wood products only from well managed forests. Companies in Germany, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, the UK and the USA are already on board.
In the UK alone, the Buyers Group includes at least 70 companies. These companies account for almost one third of all wood products traded annually in the UK, with a value of several billion US dollars.
This work, combined with our other major campaigns to address climate change and promote sustainable fishing practices, should help us go a long way towards restoring the balance of nature.
Your own company could easily get involved too. Next time you replace your furniture, or stationery, insist on it having the FSC trademark. If you're not responsible for the buying, it's worth telling the person who is.
The more demand there is for wood approved by the FSC, the easier it will be to convince more forest owners to work with us to save the world's forests.

Please contact us with your ideas, your involvement or even money. After all, we've got millions of babies to look after now.

BODIES. THE EXHIBITION



Madame Tussaud's wax museum has life-like figures of famous people done in wax but the bodies on display at the Human Body Exhibitions worldwide are created from real human flesh and bones of dead human bodies that have been preserved so they do not decay.

You will see muscles, brain, eyes, lungs, internal body organs, even a preserved fetus but no human skin. The bodies depict the internal state of muscles, bones and other organ during routine activities like reading, playing soccer, standing on his feet or holding a tennis racquet.

The human specimen are preserved according to standard mortuary science then immersed in acetone, which eliminates all body water. A visit to Bodies Exhihibition will probably change the way you think about your body beneath the skin. Human Anatomy turned into a visual art

SPAM: A ORIGEM

"Spam" is a popular Monty Python sketch, first broadcast in 1970. In the sketch, two customers are trying to order a breakfast from a menu that includes the processed meat product in almost every item. The term spam (in electronic communication) is derived from this sketch.
Continues at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28Monty_Python%29

E-mail spam is a subset of spam that involves sending nearly identical messages to thousands (or millions) of recipients by E-mail. Perpetrators of such spam ("spammers") often harvest addresses of prospective recipients from Usenet postings or from web pages, obtain them from databases, or simply guess them by using common names and domains. By popular definition, spam occurs without the permission of the recipients.

Sunday Bloody Sunday
U2

I can't understand the news today
I can't close my ice
And make it go away

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? too long! For too long!
Tonight... we can be as one
Tonight

Broken bottles under childrens's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end streets
But I won't heed the battle cow
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the door
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has one
The trench is dug within our hurts
Mothers, children, fathers, sisters
Torn apart

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We it and drink while tomorrow they die

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

CHOCOLATE!!!


Chocolate That Won't Melt !!!!!!!!!

Chocolate is not widely consumed in the tropics, even though that's where most of the world's cocoa is produced.
The reason: It's too hot.

High temperatures in countries such as Nigeria reduce chocolate into a sticky, gooey mess.
Food scientists have been trying to remedy this situation for decades, and now researchers in Nigeria believe they are close to achieving the holy grail among chocolate manufacturers: a heat-resistant chocolate that actually tastes like chocolate.

Something they sellin' you

If you tell 'em you sick
You better have a bad cough
'Cause if you don't
They be ready to throw you off
What you gonna do, when the welfare turns it's back on you?
You be standin' there stranded,

You know it hurt me so bad, yeah, it made my poor heart skip a beat
I got a bad feelin', my baby don't love me no more
I got a real bad, bad feelin', my baby don't love me no more
You know the sky is cryin', yeah, the tears rollin' down my nose
Fading:

Backwater Blues
Bessie Smith

When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
Then trouble's takin' place in the lowlands at night
I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
There's been enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder where she want to go
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
I packed all my clothes, throwed them in and they rowed me along
When it thunders and lightnin' and when the wind begins to blow
When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow
There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go
Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill
Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill
Then looked down on the house were I used to live
Backwater
blues done call me to pack my things and go
Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go
'Cause my house fell down and I can't live there no more
Mmm, I can't move no more
Mmm, I can't move no more
There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go

Desperate Feminist Wives
Why wanting equality makes women unhappy.
By Meghan O'Rourke

In The Feminine Mystique, the late Betty Friedan attributed the malaise of married women largely to traditionalist marriages in which wives ran the home and men did the bread-winning. Her book helped spark the sexual revolution of the 1970s and fueled the notion that egalitarian partnerships—where both partners have domestic responsibilities and pursue jobs—would make wives happier. Last week, two sociologists at the University of Virginia published an exhaustive study of marital happiness among women that challenges this assumption. Stay-at-home wives, according to the authors, are more content than their working counterparts. And happiness, they found, has less to do with division of labor than with the level of commitment and "emotional work" men contribute (or are perceived to contribute). But the most interesting data may be that the women who strongly identify as progressive—the 15 percent who agree most with feminist ideals—have a harder time being happy than their peers, according to an analysis that has been provided exclusively to Slate. Feminist ideals, not domestic duties, seem to be what make wives morose. Progressive married women—who should be enjoying some or all of the fruits that Freidan lobbied for—are less happy, it would appear, than women who live as if Friedan never existed.
