NO SUCH A THING or NO SUCH THING?
“Eric told me the grocery store was handing out free steaks. No such a thing.” It sounds better to most people to say instead “no such thing.”

MOTHERLODE VS. PARENTLODE
Novas palavras surgem todos os dias.
“On October 1st, 2008, XXX began a blog entitled Motherlode for the YYY. … The blog focuses on matters surrounding parenthood; topics range from what is the appropriate amount of sleep for a new parent to how to determine if you are bragging about your children. XXX headed up the Motherlode blog for three years, and in late September of 2011 announced she was leaving to join ZZZ, but that the Motherlode blog would still exist as a YYY product.
On October 24th of this year, the ZZZ launched its parenting blog, Parentlode, authored by XXX. XXX wrote that the new website’s name is a nod to readers who have e-mailed about equal parenting. The e-mailers commented that fathers, just as much as mothers, are involved in the parenting process.” [Source:http://www.ipbrief.net/2011/11/10/battle-of-the-blogs-new-york-times-sues-the-huffington-post-over-parenting-blog/]

O jornal YYY entrou com um processo na Justiça dos EUA para obrigar o ZZZ a renomear um blog que tem nome similar a um blog seu. O blog "Parentlode", do YYY, pode confundir os leitores do "Motherlode", do ZZZ. Ambos os blogs tratam de assuntos relacionados a problemas de família.” [Fonte: Exame - http://exame.abril.com.br/negocios/empresas/noticias/nyt-processa-huffington-post-por-plagio]
LOTS, PLENTY, LOAD (number)
The expression “a lot” takes a singular verb when it refers to an amount of something that can’t be counted: “a lot of water has gone over the dam.” But it takes a plural verb when it refers to a countable number of things: “there are a lot of fish in the sea.” “Lots” works the same way: “there is lots of room left in the theater, but for some reason lots of us are still waiting to be seated.” Remember that “there’s” is a contraction of “there is”; so instead of “there’s a lot of flowers in the garden,” say “there are a lot of flowers.”
The same rule applies to “plenty” and “load.” “There is plenty of turkey left,” but “there are plenty of pecans in the pie.”
“Loads of dirty dishes are in the sink,” so “there is loads of washing up to do.”

WHILE AWAY
tr.v., whiled, whil·ing, whiles. To spend (time) idly or pleasantly: while the hours away.
How to while away a Saturday afternoon...
Oh how I long to while away the hours sipping tea on that couch.
We can while away the hours with some cupcakes.
But:
How To Trade While Away - Many have asked me over the years how I trade while on vacation. Here are my two rules: 1) I don’t trade during vacation, and 2) I close out all positions no matter what their upside potential before I leave.
“Waiting for my physical at the doctor’s office, I whiled away the time reading the dessert recipes in an old copy of Gourmet magazine.”
The expression “while away the time” is the only surviving context for a very old meaning of “while” as a verb meaning “to spend time.” Many people mistakenly substitute “wile,” but to wile people is to lure or trick them into doing something—quite different from simply idling away the time.

BUSKING
intr.v., busked, busk·ing, busks.
To play music or perform entertainment in a public place, usually while soliciting money.
"PLACES TO GO BUSKING
I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread about busking for people that want to go busking for the first time, people that busk and are looking for new spots and also for the people that have to listen to our crap day in day out and just long for someone else to busk there for a change....kind of like and spot swap idea really
I'll post here all the places I have been busking and how good it is to busk so you can see the hot spots and the not spots to busk....
Tonbridge - a really cool spot to busk is in the angel walk opposit superdrug. its perfectly legal and no licence is needed. you'll make good money here and all the surrounding shops nomally come out and make requests and leave you something except the hairdressers opposite. just ignore them.
Tunbrige wells - another great place to busk especially if your music is very different. there is more cultural awareness here than tonbridge and you more likely to get a good response. i went busking here with fleassy with a drum and didge and it went down really well.
Brighton - Brighton can be a really good place to busk but you have to be very picky on the time of day. there are two main places ive busked here. one is in the south lanes where two pathes meet at a t junction by the pub. Here is the favorite spot but make sure you go into the shops and ask how long you can busk for first as this spot is used by lots of buskers and they get a lot! as long as you play by thier rules then its all good. try to avoid days where is hot and sunny because it seems that people wont have the time of day for you.......fair enough i suppose
The best busking times ive found to busk in anyplaces is between 12 and 3. this seems to be because its lunchtime and people have loads of change from their consumer culture lunches and want to throw their money around.....who am I to complain...
I also busked in Staines yesterday and the day before. not actually that bad of a spot. £15 for 30 - 40 mins sounds pretty good for me even the chavs were dancing and nodding and giving the thumbs up!"

A tidy desk is a tidy mind [?!?]
They say a tidy desk is a tidy mind - but do you need either to run a successful business? Or can a down and dirty approach sometimes help you clean up?
Most of us seem to think that successful people have a clear vision - and a clear desk. But we also associate messiness with creativity - and successful business leaders usually need plenty of that. It seems that tidy minds and tidy desks don't necessarily go together, after all.

ROSEBUD
Cidadão Kane é supostamente baseado na vida do magnata do jornalismo William Randolph Hearst (publicamente, Welles negava), e conta a história de Charles Foster Kane, um menino pobre que acaba se tornando um dos homens mais ricos do mundo.
O filme inicia com a sua morte, momentos antes da qual pronuncia a palavra "Rosebud". Após dias de sensacionalismo em cima da notícia de sua morte, o jornalista Jerry Thompson é enviado por seu chefe para investigar a vida de Kane, a fim de descobrir o sentido de sua última palavra, a qual ninguém sabia. Entrevistando pessoas do passado de Kane, o jornalista mergulha na vida de um homem solitário, que desde a infância é obrigado a seguir a vontade alheia. Ninguém a seu redor importa-se com Kane, que busca por meio da aquisição de bens e pessoas a adoração das pessoas.
Ao final, Thompson, após a exaustiva investigação da vida de Kane através de entrevistas, se vê incapaz de descobrir o significado da palavra, concluindo que "Charles Foster Kane foi um homem que possuiu tudo o que quis, e depois perdeu tudo. Talvez Rosebud seja algo que ele nunca tenha possuído, ou algo que tenha perdido.". Ao final do filme, o significado de "rosebud" é revelado.

Capitão: Porção de alimento que se amassa com farinha e leva à boca com a mão
“...o guia tuaregue convida o repórter para jantar em sua casa um prato típico, arroz integral com carneiro desfiado. Sem talheres à vista, o repórter se mostrou atrapalhado, até ser instruído a comer com a mão, fazer um bolinho de comida com a ponta dos dedos e levá-lo à boca. O fino da etiqueta tuaregue.”
“Não se faz capitão com comida ensopada, macarrão, salada... Tem de ter uma base moldável. O melhor capitão se fazia com arroz, feijão, farofa, carne moída e couve. De cada coisa um pouquinho, que os dedos ágeis iam puxando, agregando, amassando. Os mais aplicados davam um acabamento na palma da mão: ora alongado como um quibe, ora oval, ora redondo. O bolinho habilmente formado vinha rico de sabores e chegava à boca com a ajuda dos cinco dedos irmanados.”

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

New gTLD (Generic Top Level Domains) for the Internet
On the 20th June 2011, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), announced its decision to allow applications for generic Top Level Domains – gTLDs. In essence, this decision opens the floodgates of domain name creativity; this is no longer a <.com> world, restricted by locality (<.br>, <.uk>) by classification (<.edu>, <.mil>) or by company structure (<.com>, <.org>, <.biz>). The revolution has begun! Own a restaurant? Apply for <.food>, <.menu>, <.eat>, <.dine>. Run your own clinic? Apply for <.med>, <.doc>, <.cure>. In the adventure industry? Look at <.snow>, <.ski>, <.dive>!
The new gTLD process has been a work in progress – but the finishing touches are now being made, and the world is preparing for the emergence of a revolutionised internet directory.

DESGASTE
If you look it up in a dictionary you will find it means “wear”, or “wastage”, or “attrition”, or “wear and tear”. But in the political context, it means something like “erosion of trust”. If the president sacks a corrupt minister, this provokes an erosion of trust among political allies.
