KLB luta no tatame no 'Melhor do Brasil'



Os irmãos Kiko, Leandro e Bruno causaram o maior frisson na gravação do “Melhor do Brasil”, que vai ao ar neste sábado (8/11). Não é a platéia, mas toda a produção ficou “hipnotizada” com a atuação dos artistas no quadro “Ela é linda, mas dá medo”. Kiko, faixa preta de tae kwon do, Leandro, faixa preta de boxe e Bruno, no Vale Tudo, tinham que adivinhar qual a modalidade esportiva de quatro belas lutadoras. A diretora Leonor Corrêa fez os gatinhos lutarem, mesmo, no tatame, com as belas e feras. Para completar, o apresentador Rodrigo Faro, que não pratica nenhuma luta, também caiu no chão e lutou com as quatro participantes. O resultado você confere neste sábado na Record, a partir das 20h00.

Philip Michael Thomas

Thomas was born on May 26, 1949 and broke into acting in his early 20s in the 1970s. His first role was in the 1972 blaxploitation film, "Come Back, Charleston Blue" where he had a minor role as a minister. Thomas followed with small roles over the next 10-15 years in films such as Stigma, Book of Numbers, Bogart, Coonskin and in TV shows such as Griff, Good Times, Toma, The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, and Trapper John, M.D.
Thomas finally caught his big break when he was cast as Detective Ricardo Tubbs on the hit TV show Miami Vice in 1984. Although co-star Don Johnson was the biggest star of Miami Vice, Thomas was popular and achieved his own acclaim. Among Miami Vice fans, Thomas was known affectionately as "the scuzzy black guy on Miami Vice." 
On Miami Vice, Thomas played Miami undercover police detective Ricardo Tubbs, a former NYPD police officer who traveled to Miami to find the person who killed his brother, Rafael Tubbs. While in Miami Tubbs encountered another undercover cop, Sonny Crockett (played by Don Johnson), who is also looking for the same person.Miami Vice was a popular show and was renowned for its heavy integration of music and visual effects to tell a story. Miami Vice also heavily influenced mid-80s fashion as male fans started dressing in hot pink or teal t-shirts with white pants or white sports coats.


Thomas was well-known for possibly possessing the greasiest-looking skin and hair in all of Hollywood. Here are some pictures of Thomas looking his greasiest - I bet his entire face and hair would ignite in flames if someone had lit a match within 5 feet of him when these photos were taken:

Thomas was known for having a massive ego. During a mid-1980s Academy Awards ceremony, Thomas wore a gaudy gold medallion emblazoned with the letters "EGOT," which stands for "Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony." During a 1984 interview, Thomas said, "Hopefully in the next five years I will win all of those awards." Despite his massive career aspirations, Thomas neither won nor was nominated for any of these awards.After the cancellation of Miami Vice in 1990, Thomas struggled to find steady work. He appeared in a number of crappy made-for-TV movies and had non-recurring roles on TV shows such as The Adventures of Superboy, Zorro, Swamp Thing, and Nash Bridges.


Thomas has also sunk his teeth into a singing career. Thomas recorded a music album entitled Living the Book of My Life in 1985. However, the album sold poorly and failed to produce a hit single. Thomas performed the title song of his album during the 1985 episode of Miami Vice entitled The Maze.
Thomas released his second album, entitled Somebody, in 1988. Somebody also sold poorly and failed to produce a hit. In 1993, Thomas collaborated with Kathy Rahill to compose My, My, Miam...i, which was chosen as the city of Miami's theme song.
Thomas later joined forces with Jamaican fitness instructor Sandi Morais to compose songs for a family-friendly musical entitled Sacha, which enjoyed runs in south Florida and New York. Thomas also produced music for Morais' fitness videos in 2001 and 2006.Cementing his image as a washed-up celebrity and apparently desperate for a steady stream on income, in 1994 Thomas entered into a contractual agreement with the Florida-based Psychic Reader's Network (later known as Traffix, Inc.) to become the spokesman for the Philip Michael Thomas Psychic Connection. He appeared in TV ads dressed in a wardrobe similar to that of his Miami Vice Ricardo Tubbs character, opening the ads with the phrase, "From Miami Vice to world advice!"
Traffix later replaced Thomas with Miss Cleo. Thomas sued for breach of contract and won. In 2002 a New York arbitrator awarded Thomas $1.48 million for improper use of his name and likeness and an additional $780,000 in interest.
Having sunk from a headline actor on Miami Vice to the spokesman for a physic network by 1994, fans of Thomas must have thought that the actor's career couldn't possibly sink any lower. However, fans were wrong - according to the Internet Movie Database, Thomas's only role since 2003 was a voice-over role for the video game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Philip Michael Thomas struggled in Hollywood for years until finally catching his big break when he was cast as Detective Ricardo Tubbs on Miami Vice. Thomas fought the odds to become a success despite possessing arguably the greasiest skin and hair in all of Hollywood. However, Thomas's career quickly plummeted after the cancellation of Miami Vice as quickly as it rose during the mid-1980s. Now, the actor would be fortunate to be cast in an infomercial. All of this makes Philip Michael Thomas one washed-up celebrity!

Lynn - Three Day Weekend
Morning! Christy is on vacation so it'll just be me for a little while. But I'm doing my own little stay-cation since my husband Abe took the day off, and I've got nothing on my plate today! He's been working really hard on an upcoming episode of "In Their Boots" and deserves a little break. I'm so proud of him - he just had an
on The New York Times too.
So we slept in this morning, til about 8:30, I journaled, and then I went to the gym. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes of lower body weights, and stretched. Then I came home to find Abe and Julius on the couch.
They were supposed to go on a hike while I was at the gym, but work got in the way. So much for a day off! Since he was about to go exercise, Abe requested a lighter portion of oatmeal:
- 1/3 cup oats made with water
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 an organic gala apple
- 2 TB egg whites
- 1/2 tsp. brown sugar,
- scattering of raw pecan bits
My mouth was still hungry (from the smaller portion of oats?) so I had a few dried figs.
Followed by decaf green tea and a ginger chew
Plus 2 green pills and my multivitamin.
Now Abe and Julius are hiking and I have no idea what the day has in store for us! We plan on seeing a movie later on, but otherwise who knows...I do have to get a new Sigg bottle because I left mine at the table read last night. This is the second time I've done that!
Food, Inc.
Lynn - It's Good To Be Here
This morning I woke up around 7:30, wrote in my journal (2 pages every morning of me ranting) and headed to Griffith Park to hike with my friend Anna and fellow "Actors Diet" blogger Christy!
After the hike I made breakfast.
Typical bowl of oatmeal -
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 apple
- 2 tablespoons egg whites
- flax seed
- cinammon
Enjoyed while watching "The Food Network"
After every meal, even breakfast, I need to have something to suck on. Get your minds out of the gutter.
This is my new favorite candy. Yes, candy after breakfast. I have found that sucking on something sweet after meals prevents me from bingeing, lets my mind and stomach get on the same page.
With a cup of decaf green tea:
I took my morning supplements, too. They include a multivitamin, and whenever I don't have something green at a meal I like to take 2 of these:
They seem to make it so that I'm not ravenously hungry 2 hours after breakfast.
Onto lunch:
This was 1/2 a can of sardines (a great sustainable protein source and low in mercury) with some curry powder, mustard, 1/4 avocado, and lettuce on multigrain bread.
I have my first audition in a loooong time tomorrow so I planned on memorizing lines while I ate.
But then I got distracted by "The Cosby Show" -
I love how they answer the phone "Huxtable Residence!"
Another thing I often enjoy after a sandwich is a nice cup of soup:
I like to nuke it in a coffee cup with 1/2 a crumbled Weetabix.
Sounds weird, but as it says on the box:
I find it gives the soup a nice creamy texture:
After lunch I usually take a calcium supplement. Of course, I like mine in candy form.
Since I had sardines, which are packed with calcium, I only took half the recommended serving (usually 2 bears) along with some green pills - since there was only a little bit of lettuce on the sandwich.
Some more candy:
It says "Way Sour" but it wasn't really.
After lunch I took my dog Julius for a walk with my friend Katie and her adorable 3-week old daughter, read a film script for a table read I'm doing tomorrow night. Then my hubby Abe finally came home from work and we had dinner, which was some leftovers:
This is a vegan Tofu "Meatloaf" adapted from a recipe from The Grit cookbook. "The Grit" is a vegetarian restaurant in Athens, GA that Abe had gone to on a business trip. He's a vegetarian, so he was really happy to get this cookbook as a birthday gift this year.
Alongside I made a salad with some oranges and sweet potatoes, tossed with a dressing of OJ, lemon juice, dijon mustard, olive oil, and salt and pepper:
Delicious last night, and delicious tonight.
I had another calcium gummy and a ginger chew candy, then sunk my teeth into this guy:
I like my pears very firm. Abe thinks I'm crazy.
Well...that took a very long time! Hopefully I'll get better at this posting thing. Thanks for reading!
Now I'm off to run lines for tomorrow morning's audition!

This should be pretty trivial for the most part, mostly just a rebuild of the code base plus a rewrite of some tiny core bits that will be in assembly code (like locking primitives) and a few drivers. The normal applications should require approximately no porting effort at all.
I would point out that the Intel compiler for OSX is much better than the PPC compiler for the same. I found a couple extremely irritating compiler bugs under XCode PPC, while I have never even seen a bug in contemporaneous versions of GCC for Intel. This by itself is worth something. Current versions of GCC for x86 and AMD64 are on par with the best commercial compilers. GCC for PPC was a usable but inferior pile of dog poo that gave me many problems.
The video card configurations are also previous generation. I don't know for certain, but it seems the PCIe configuration isn't consistent with the information available on the i5000X. The standard Intel design is 1 x16, 2 x4 (with x8 slots) for a total of 24 lanes, not 16 or 32 as might be interpreted from the "spec" sheet.
It might also be reasonable to expect an optional RAID configuration as a RAID controller is built-in to the southbridge.

Just awesome :D .
(I appreciate Android on the Streak, but GOOD GOD does it feel like a laggy piece of software compared to my iPhone and iPad. It has widgets and tons of convenient apps for pirating software or games (no... I own ALL those ROMS)... but I digress.)
So, Android unifies. Google forces handset/tablet manufacturers to adopt a stock OS interface. How will they differentiate themselves? What incentive, beyond a free OS, will there be to creating "phone B" that looks just like "phone A". This is where Google will shoot itself in the foot. The less the carriers and handset manufacturers can customize, the less incentive they have to launch on Android. Heck, just emulate Android if you want the apps, right RIM?
Weren't there waves a few weeks about about Motorola wanting its own OS? I'd want to control my own destiny. This is creating a "walled garden" (Andy as caretaker) for the device manufacturers/carriers, and they're the ones that Google needs to be pushing the platform.
The thing is, if handset manufacturers want to crap up a handset with their own gunk they are free to do so still. They will have to wait longer than has been the case (is there an echo in here?) but it is still possible. This isn't Google completely shutting off access, just them making things a bit harder (some will think this is a good thing, some wont).
Perhaps they can differentiate with hardware, or custom applications (just not anything that messes with the base OS by the looks of things). Horrible skins need to die a death, even hardcore fandroids would agree with that.
I've started rally a bit today while i save up for a car with a bit more balls. Rally is completely sublime. I am loving every second of it. I had no problem with the dirt and snow tracks, but the tarmac rally is giving me some trouble. I use an 06 Focus ST that is around 215hp, so i can bump up the HP and still compete in the series. I might just have to do that.
Improved battery life. :)
I only activate Locations Services when I feel it's needed. Maps, Star Walk and MLB at Bat are about the only ones that come to mind. I don't keep Location Services turned on all of the time. I switch it on before using one of these. For The Weather Channel and other apps that require a location to function I manually enter it.
I've got the Cydia tweak Untrackerd installed and haven't noticed a slow down with any apps regarding location. I run Speed Test without Location Services and it's quick to choose a nearby server using cell tower info. This is why I don't think the record of previously used towers is needed as much as Apple says. Things work well, and fast enough, without these stored lists.
No. "App Store" wouldn't qualify as a famous mark, I should think.
Here's a website that lists some factors:

I think the main reason the razr's such a sucess is beacuse it soo cheap. It so easy to get one free with your contract in the UK. Not only does it look alrite but its massivly affordable
Verizon iPhone release didn't help Apple to stop losing marketshare although everyone said the deal will quadruple iPhone sales. :rolleyes:
iPhone Q1/11: 19 million (+ 2.5 million)
Android Q1/11: 38 million (+8 million)
Ouch. No wonder they are now sueing HTC and Samsung. If you can't beat them in the market, beat them in court. Apple must have learned that from Nokia (like they learned the choppy animations when you start third party apps in iOS 4.3.2 from Symbian).
iPhone: 4% of market, 50% of profit
http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/10/30/iphone-4-of-market-50-of-profit/
So whats the point of market share if you're not making any money?
But out in the Minnesota farmlands.... They may not have seen the ads....
They meet up with another farming buddies... A couple of beers.
Gone to a tech shop to buy a smartphone n' thought through the beer bottle they bought themselves a samsung iPhone.
:rolleyes:
/sarcasm

[*made up statistic, but I bet it's not far wrong! :D ]
Because this isn't the same market when Apple first introduced the iPhone and then, later, the 3G version. There is a lot more competition now and intense pressure on Apple to stay ahead of the curve. That absolutely means getting the newest, bleeding edge technology into the iPhone before the competition.
...Quadra Duo?
...the "holy hell this is faster than you'll ever need" Mac? :D
If it can't model WW2 D-Day in full holographic 3D, with AI ground troops, AI generals, real physics and weather effects I garuntee you there will be people asking for more power.
(Now, doesn't that sound like a sweet game? :) )

I'm disappointed the Bugatti Veyron is standard only, and not surprised there's no Porsches, since I believe the license to use Porsches are exclusive to EA, no other game from any company really has them. But, I am hoping that GT5 will be released on the 24th, for real this time, instead of being pushed back for the 40,000,001st time.

- Windows 7 Home Basic
- Windows 7 Home Premium
- Windows 7 Professional
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- Windows 7 Ultimate
You also need to decide on the architecture before purchase, unlike OS X.
If you count those (they are packaged in different boxes after all), this brings the number up to 11. Starter doesn't come in a 64-bit edition.
Finally, this of course doesn't include the server editions of the Windows 7 kernel.
The only versions of Windows 7 Ive seen available at retail are Home Premium, Proffessional and Ultimate.
Starter and Home basic only come bundled with Netbooks.
And if you're choosing which version of Windows you want for home use, why would Enterprise and Server versions even come into it?
So if you're looking to pick up Windows 7 for your PC, the only serious choices are Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate, and is it really that confusing to compare a feature list of 3 versions and decide which features you need?

Technically it is a safer product. No one is going to mug you for your galaxy tab.
I've been wanting to say this for a very long time. Google's OS has no advantage over iOS. You could even say it has a disadvantage. Having to create a vanilla code base that needs to function on multiple pieces of hardware is complex, more complexity creates weaker system.
But here's my point. The ONLY ONLY reason why Android market share is anywhere near what it is today is because of the Buy One Get One options at most phone retailers. iOS has NEVER done that and hopefully never will. If you didn't care about the phone or service but needed two "Newer Smart Phones" one for you and one for your wife, why not go with the "Blah Blah" model from Verizon where if I buy one today I get the second for free (two year agreement and activation fees required).
Market share means nothing. This platform is doomed unless Google reins it in and get control over it. If they do, providers will be less willing to work with them, if they don't, by by Android.
My Two Cents.

I have a new 13" MBA sitting here at my desk unopened...just dropped off from FedEx today. I'm debating whether or not to just return it and wait for the refresh or be happy with what I got.
I'm a very light user..web, email, iTunes, sync iPhone and iPad. Do I really need the Sandy Bridge power..probably not but I dont want to have the "old not so shiny ball" come June (as the rumors suggest).
Any help from the MR community is greatly appreciated!
Don't get your hopes up, as any rumour is just a speculation. Apple may or may not release any updated version of the MBA very soon, but it can all depend. If you really want power, you could sell your Air for a MBP, which came out only couple months ago.
