O seu som faz-me lembrar bastante dos Xutos e Pontapés, misturado um pouco com os U2 -- especialmente a percussão, ritmos, e "riffs" de guitarra. Também têm aparências sonoras com os Resistência de outrora, e a voz parecida com Miguel Gameiro, vocalista dos Pólo Norte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gostei também de saber que o vocalista principal é gago. Ele é uma pessoa normal, com desafios e defeitos como todos nós.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adorei o seguinte vídeo dele: macho, duro, um pouco indiferente, concentrado e bem ensaiado, mais preocupado com a música do que uma falsa imagem "pop."

Perseverem em oração para que o Espírito  Santo lhes revele a natureza de Deus, o Pai, e de Seu Filho Amado.  Supliquem para que o Espírito lhes mostre o que o Senhor deseja que  façam.

Tinha-o uma senhora chamada Vienna Jaques ((vejam DC 90:28) sendo ela uma de apenas tres mulheres mencionadas no livro de Doutrina e Convênios -- as outras eram Emma Smith e Eva). Ela (a Vienna) tinha-o recebido do próprio Profeta Joseph Smith em 1832.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sob seu nome e a data (na capa do livro) diz o seguinte: "The writing above is Joseph  Smith own handwriting which he wrote the day he gave the book to me  Vienna Jaques on the 22nd of November 1832." ("A escrita em cima é a do Joseph Smith, a qual ele escreveu no dia em que me deu a mim Vienna Jaques o livro no dia 22 de novembro de 1832.")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mesmo que eu esteja fascinado com um livro que os profissionais dão o valor de 250.000 dólares americanos, para mim essa experiência foi para mim santa, e serviu para aumentar minha fé, porque eu sabia que tinha estado nas mãos do Profeta da Restauração do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo. Assim o livro para mim não tem um preço.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-541424623589070554?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/541424623589070554/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=541424623589070554' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/541424623589070554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/541424623589070554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2010/07/livro-de-mormon-primeira-edicao-de-1830.html' title='Livro de Mórmon - primeira edição de 1830'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/TEp2GTBkNZI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/0Po46Q094xE/s72-c/IMG_6832.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-4071471931924864913</id><published>2010-07-15T20:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-15T21:00:36.093-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Os Resistência cantaram...</title><content type='html'>À procura do amanhã&lt;br /&gt;Andam homens inseguros....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-4071471931924864913?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/4071471931924864913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=4071471931924864913' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/4071471931924864913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/4071471931924864913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2010/07/resistencia-cantaram.html' title='Os Resistência cantaram...'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-4462264245058822736</id><published>2010-05-01T19:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-01T19:20:54.571-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Olha-me</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/S9zhYpeopPI/AAAAAAAAA0w/Lj_STFNPkiQ/s1600/jesus.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

Estou tão desligado. Faz tanto tempo. Gostaria de voltar a Portugal, mas vai ter que ser com minha família.

Isso tudo foi durante minha missão, 1987-1989.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O inverno aqui é precisamente uma inversão, isto é, uma grande  mudança no clima, e, portanto, na saúde.

Fiquei aqui porque tinha que trabalhar. Entre outras coisas, tinham levado duas cadeiras de campismo, e quando minha mulher pediu para eu levar as cadeiras à casa dos nossos vizinhos para um jantar,  reparei que algo mexia numa das cadeiras. Olhei com mais atenção e depois disse numa voz séria à minha esposa, "Querida, parece que vocês trouxeram uma nova companheira convosco."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O que era? Era uma &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;salamandra&lt;/span&gt; (tritão). Chamámos as filhas e vizinhos para virem ver, e todos eles ficaram tão animados e espantados com aquilo. Resolvemos enfim levar nossa pobre amiga lagarta-aquática a um sítio que mais convinha. Felizmente o lago é perto, e levámo-la para lá.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aqui está (alguém está com fome?):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SkmJRgO2hcI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/4Jg2wF1OYoU/s1600-h/IMG_2187.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

E assim torno-me mais atraente para o mercado de administradores, pois aqui nem toda gente é bilíngüe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obrigado, Portugal!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-9156542300487473903?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/9156542300487473903/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=9156542300487473903' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/9156542300487473903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/9156542300487473903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2009/05/o-meu-portugues-ajuda-me.html' title='O meu português ajuda-me'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-397506050412237352</id><published>2009-04-12T21:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T06:19:58.780-07:00</updated><title type='text'>2 poemas que escrevi nos anos 90</title><content type='html'>Ó Meu Amor, Divino e do Céu&lt;br /&gt;14 Dezembro 1991&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ó meu amor, divino e do céu!&lt;br /&gt;Quando nasceste sabia sim que sempre eras meu.&lt;br /&gt;Deste-me confiança, deste-me sã razão,&lt;br /&gt;Ensinaste-me depender da minha oração.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eis o Poema&lt;br /&gt;17 Maio 1992&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eis o poema&lt;br /&gt;Que nos estica, estendendo-nos como uma teia entre dois pontos extremos.&lt;br /&gt;O poema efectivo faz com que saiamos do abrigo emocional e enfrentemos o que antes era impensável.&lt;br /&gt;O poema deseja-nos moldar;&lt;br /&gt;O poema quer ser a nossa escritura pessoal;&lt;br /&gt;O poema é o bordão mágico do poeta,&lt;br /&gt;Sendo-lhe um meio de auto-declaração.&lt;br /&gt;O poema é personalidade em papel,&lt;br /&gt;Coração palpitando na fina madeira.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-397506050412237352?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/397506050412237352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=397506050412237352' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/397506050412237352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/397506050412237352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2009/04/2-poemas-que-escrevi-nos-anos-90.html' title='2 poemas que escrevi nos anos 90'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-2792408109665408769</id><published>2009-03-31T19:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-31T20:02:17.037-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Alguns sites que eu gosto</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/Portugal/"&gt;Lindas fotos&lt;/a&gt;

Claro que sim! Então é que começou-se mais uma aventura na nossa vida. O triste é que vou tomar o lugar de um colega meu, o Jim Ruesch, porque ele tem um tumor no cérebro.  :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O chefe continuou por dizer que o próximo dia (quarta-feira) seria meu último dia de professor, e que na sexta-feira já iria começar na nova escola (Eastmont Middle School)! Fogo! Tão rápido! Então fui à minha já velha escola (West Jordan Middle School) para recolher meus pertences, preparar uma últimas lições, e compor tudo para o professor substituto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dizer adeus aos meus estudantes, a quem já estou a começar a adorar, foi difícil. Alguns se zangaram; outros em voz alta supunham que quem tomar o meu lugar será "uma velha gorda." Muitos deram-me abraços.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minha mulher, filhas, e eu temos trabalhado tanto desde 2006 para alcançar este momento: as numerosas aplicações e trabalhos que preenchí para ganhar entrada na BYU; a soco ao estômago que foi quando não recebi a bolsa financeira que esperava; os tantos estudos e trabalhos que fiz; as dívidas que incorremos; o stress sobre nosso casamento, e sobre o relacionamento com minhas filhas; o salário que não tivemos durante um ano inteiro (ontem foi o primeiro pagamento que nós recebemos desde Setembro de 2007); as rejeições de todos os distritos menos o de Jordan; e o ter que esperar mais que um ano para receber o chamado de administrador. Houve tantos tempos quando justamente o que nós queríamos não passou de acordo com nossas expectativas e esperanças. Por um lado, tudo provou a nossa fé, mas ao mesmo tempo fortaleceu-a. Nós agora confiamos mais em Pai Celestial (e não só depois de receber este novo trabalho). Ontem quando eu e minha esposa fizemos oração, lembrei-me do jejum que fizemos em Julho, quando jejuei melhor que nunca e orei com grande fé ao Pai Celestial para que nos abençoasse com uma posição administrativa este ano (falei assim especificamente a Ele). Nessa altura Ele pôs em mim uma fé e confiança que não tinha sentido com tanto poder em anos. Sentí plena confiança n'Ele, contente com a Sua vontade. Queria que fosse feita a Sua vontade acima da minha. Quando começou o ano escolar no fim de Agosto, não ficava preocupado por não ser administrador, porque confiava que Pai Celestial tinha bons motivos (eu supunha que Ele queria que eu fizesse algo ou tocasse alguém específico em West Jordan Middle School, e fiquei contente por isso). Sentiu tão bem para largar tudo e confiar n'Ele, tendo feito quanto podia. E quero continuar a viver assim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nós temos saltado mais uma vez no rio. Posso ver que tenho que permitir que Deus me conduza de vez em quando, e que nem sempre devo manter todo o controle. Estou ansioso para ver onde o rio nos guiará.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SN3Etps7KzI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/rZcHZxduRWU/s1600-h/tappanfalls-full.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SN3Etps7KzI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/rZcHZxduRWU/s400/tappanfalls-full.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250569029151304498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-4862325104197002745?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/4862325104197002745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=4862325104197002745' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/4862325104197002745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/4862325104197002745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2008/09/nossa-aventura-continua.html' title='A nossa aventura continua'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SN3Etps7KzI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/rZcHZxduRWU/s72-c/tappanfalls-full.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-6036231564817790269</id><published>2008-09-17T16:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-17T16:35:33.612-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Minha filha pintou um porco</title><content type='html'>E aqui está:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SNGUGAo4CSI/AAAAAAAAAac/hkORwmyF6uE/s1600-h/pig.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SNGUGAo4CSI/AAAAAAAAAac/hkORwmyF6uE/s400/pig.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247137871834908962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não o acham lindo?  :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-6036231564817790269?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/6036231564817790269/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=6036231564817790269' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/6036231564817790269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/6036231564817790269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2008/09/minha-filha-pintou-um-porco.html' title='Minha filha pintou um porco'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SNGUGAo4CSI/AAAAAAAAAac/hkORwmyF6uE/s72-c/pig.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-1443974011144676868</id><published>2008-08-30T18:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-05T20:38:23.596-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A História do meu avô, Samuel Brooks, Sr.</title><content type='html'>O meu foco principal durante este verão que passou foi a autobiografia do meu avô, Samuel Brooks, Sr. (1886-1962). Uns meses atrás, disse a meu pai que eu estava disposto a levar a autobiografia que seu pai teclou em 1960 e re-teclá-la no computador, acrescentando fotos, redigindo-a, etc. Em princípio eu pensava que iria passar uma poucas horas para teclar a história, mas à medida que as perguntas surgiam e meu interesse aumentava, o meu esforço tornou-se em absorção completa (será que foi o espírito de Elias?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante o verão inteiro eu teclei, li e re-li, perguntei a meu pai para clarificação, fiz &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;scans&lt;/span&gt; de fotos, visitei a cidade de St. George (sul de Utah) à procura de sítios de interesse para fotografar, e busquei na Internet para informação adicional. Além disso, adicionei o diário militar dele (durante a primeira guerra mundial quando ele servia em Europa), o qual incluiu o tempo dele a namorar com minha avó Winnifred Parry Brooks, dúzias de fotos, e mais que 200 anotações. O que em princípio era um documento de 50 páginas engordou a 100! O meu irmão Pete mandou a historia a uma companhia de imprensa, e fizemos 25 cópias de capa mole para dar a cada um dos meus irmãos e seus filhos.  Fiquei bem contente com o producto final.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ontem (o quinquagésimo aniversário do casamento dos meus pais), apresentei-lhes uma cópia da história. Lemos em voz alta alguns trechos, descobrimos factos sobre a história de nossa família que nem todos conheciam, chorámos, e regozijámo-nos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não posso senão pensar que talvez eu fosse uma ferramenta nas mãos de Pai Celestial para fazer com que a história e as lições da vida do meu avó fossem contadas aos seus descendentes. Estou ansioso para um dia conhecer meu avó pessoalmente (ele faleceu 5 anos antes do meu nascimento). Mas conheço-o agora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_ZX2mshI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/2FVtN-n5pZU/s1600-h/Samuel+Brooks+baby+36+Pounds+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_ZX2mshI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/2FVtN-n5pZU/s200/Samuel+Brooks+baby+36+Pounds+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240500452787139090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_ZE9ZWfI/AAAAAAAAAZs/lZCKTlDlgoA/s1600-h/Sam+Brooks+portrait+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_ZE9ZWfI/AAAAAAAAAZs/lZCKTlDlgoA/s200/Sam+Brooks+portrait+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240500447715351026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_ZtcfdII/AAAAAAAAAZ8/j4SfZZtZLE4/s1600-h/Samuel+Brooks+Sr+2+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_ZtcfdII/AAAAAAAAAZ8/j4SfZZtZLE4/s200/Samuel+Brooks+Sr+2+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240500458583192706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_Y-tIzCI/AAAAAAAAAZk/DOb6jdNzEUc/s1600-h/Sam+Brooks+1917+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_Y-tIzCI/AAAAAAAAAZk/DOb6jdNzEUc/s200/Sam+Brooks+1917+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240500446036544546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_ZtYkK6I/AAAAAAAAAaE/MA6_BKKnoEo/s1600-h/Samuel+Brooks+Sr+young+man+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_ZtYkK6I/AAAAAAAAAaE/MA6_BKKnoEo/s200/Samuel+Brooks+Sr+young+man+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240500458566724514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-1443974011144676868?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/1443974011144676868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=1443974011144676868' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/1443974011144676868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/1443974011144676868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2008/08/histria-do-meu-av-samuel-brooks-sr.html' title='A História do meu avô, Samuel Brooks, Sr.'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SLn_ZX2mshI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/2FVtN-n5pZU/s72-c/Samuel+Brooks+baby+36+Pounds+copy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-64101440811457529</id><published>2008-07-06T21:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-06T21:53:37.094-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Coisas Pensadas e Sentidas</title><content type='html'>O mundo gira à minha volta, e eu estou sentado aqui, perante o meu&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SHGgexGBGiI/AAAAAAAAAWg/5ABgRSlGYdA/s1600-h/1640-coimbra+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/SHGgexGBGiI/AAAAAAAAAWg/5ABgRSlGYdA/s320/1640-coimbra+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220129893534210594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; computador, a teclar, e a ouvir os Madredeus.

(Interessante é que muitos dos seus fans nem sequer ouviram-no ou mal o conhecem.) Todos os temas são compostos mantendo a essência da peça que Gil Vicente escreveu muitos séculos antes. A energia focalizada, a organização, e o profundo significado espiritual desse conjunto de músicas deixam-me assombrado. É simplesmente um álbum fantástico, e de que nunca me canso de ouvir.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-140522867719261415?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/140522867719261415/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=140522867719261415' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/140522867719261415'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/140522867719261415'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2007/05/breve-sumrio.html' title='Breve Sumário'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/RjvvBkqNURI/AAAAAAAAAN0/-BelWasPU7M/s72-c/images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-3309404865584024931</id><published>2007-04-08T20:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-08T20:49:29.346-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Um Sonho Meu: Uma Casa Portuguesa</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/Rhm3k7MJOYI/AAAAAAAAANE/Y1xs39-L-t0/s1600-h/SOLARH.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/Rhm3k7MJOYI/AAAAAAAAANE/Y1xs39-L-t0/s320/SOLARH.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051270302064523650" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um sonho meu é um dia possuir uma casa em Portugal. Penso que o melhor lugar para ela seria mais ou menos no centro do país, provavelmente em Coimbra ou em seu redor (Penacova? Pombal?). A casa não teria de ser nada especial, apenas um lugar onde habitar e dormir e armanezar as coisas durante as nossas visitas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Só que nós não a usaríamos durante a maior parte do ano; então talvez fosse melhor que a alugássemos. Como pretendo ser administrador escolar, cada Junho para nós é o mes de férias; então gostava de viver esse mes, cada ano, em Portugal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A casa seria uma base para nós. Uma vez que chegássemos em Portugal, viajaríamos por toda a parte, deixando as coisas na casa e "turistando" ligeiramente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muito quero que a minha mulher e filhas conheçam Portugal. Ele tem tanto para oferecer, tanto para abrir os olhos, tanto para tocar o coração, tanto para aprender e sentir. A língua é bonita. A cultura para mim é fascinante. A gente é envolvedora, interessante, enigmática, generosa, forte e teimosa e bonita. O artesanato e comida são bem gostosos. As igrejas e castelos e catedrais e séculos de história são incríveis e algo de que nós muito podemos aprender.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-3309404865584024931?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/3309404865584024931/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=3309404865584024931' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/3309404865584024931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/3309404865584024931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2007/04/um-sonho-meu-uma-casa-portuguesa.html' title='Um Sonho Meu: Uma Casa Portuguesa'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/Rhm3k7MJOYI/AAAAAAAAANE/Y1xs39-L-t0/s72-c/SOLARH.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-6867500038016824425</id><published>2007-04-07T12:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-07T12:38:50.637-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sites giros</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/Rhfy6rMJOWI/AAAAAAAAAM0/pynRcDIO-sQ/s1600-h/2800752-Ponte_Dom_Luis_1_River_Douro_Vila_Nova_De_Gaia-Porto.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/Rhfy6rMJOWI/AAAAAAAAAM0/pynRcDIO-sQ/s320/2800752-Ponte_Dom_Luis_1_River_Douro_Vila_Nova_De_Gaia-Porto.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050772596959295842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boa fonte de poder se ouvir música/notícias em português: &lt;a href="http://rdp.oninet.pt/antena1"&gt;Antena 1&lt;/a&gt;.

Para aqueles que não conhecem o norte de Portugal, ou apenas o Brasil, necessitam pelo menos ir lá dar uma olhada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aproveitem!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-6867500038016824425?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/6867500038016824425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=6867500038016824425' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/6867500038016824425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/6867500038016824425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2007/04/sites-giros.html' title='Sites giros'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/Rhfy6rMJOWI/AAAAAAAAAM0/pynRcDIO-sQ/s72-c/2800752-Ponte_Dom_Luis_1_River_Douro_Vila_Nova_De_Gaia-Porto.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-1621130611086962396</id><published>2007-04-06T20:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-06T20:23:17.508-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Novidades</title><content type='html'>Portugal é uma parte essencial da minha vida, do meu ser. Sou tão grato pela benção e privilégio que tive para servir missão aí. Aprendí tanto, e crescí muito. Sinto tantas saudades de Portugal, e gostava que minha família soubesse a língua e conhecesse o país. Talvez um dia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na semana passada ví a Conferência Geral da Igreja. Foi giro. Sentí o Espírito tão fortemente durante alguns discursos. Fui mesmo tocado no coração.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Temos agora tres filhas, e nenhuns meninos, mas para mim está tudo bem. Adoro ter filhas; elas ocupam um lugar bem especial e fofinho em meu coração.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A minha mulher agora mesmo esta na Califórnia, porque ontem assistiu o jogo da televisão "The Price is Right." Uma amiga da amiga da minha esposa ganhou dez mil dólares!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No mes que vem vou começar as aulas na Universidade de Brigham Young, porque estou matriculado para obter minha licenciatura de administrador escolar. Nos EUA isto significa que jã não vou ser professor (após 12 anos de experiência) e vou passar a ser um tipo de vice-regente sobre os professores numa escola. Eu preciso uma mudança em minha carreira, e aprecio profundamente o aumento em meu salário. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meu joelho (esq.) ainda não está bem desde que o ferí em Janeiro. Vamos lá ver se ele cura. É difícil quando se tem quase 40 ANOS! Fico velho!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A vida está cheia de actividades, mas está boa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou cansado. Vou descansar.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3802319544438191083-1621130611086962396?l=umbigoelefante.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/feeds/1621130611086962396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3802319544438191083&amp;postID=1621130611086962396' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/1621130611086962396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3802319544438191083/posts/default/1621130611086962396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umbigoelefante.blogspot.com/2007/04/novidades.html' title='Novidades'/><author><name>Elephant Navel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802319544438191083.post-6490324764071747661</id><published>2007-04-06T20:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-06T20:07:09.546-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Meu primeiro blog em português</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/RhcKfrMJOVI/AAAAAAAAAMs/_Mb0EfUssFI/s1600-h/bandeira-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8S8AOqwwPJQ/RhcKfrMJOVI/AAAAAAAAAMs/_Mb0EfUssFI/s320/bandeira-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050517046405183826" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora bem vindos!
