Miley Cyrus - See You Again

I got my sights set on you and I'm ready to aim
I have a heart that will never retain
I knew you were something special
When you spoke my name
Now I can't wait to see you again

I've got a way of knowing when something is right
I feel like I must have known you in another life
Cause I felt a deep connection when you looked into my eyes
Now I can't wait to see you again

[CHORUS]
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinking about
Felt like I couldn't breath
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Lesley said "Oh she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart can't rest till then
I can't wait to see you again

I got this crazy feeling, deep inside
When you called and asked to see me tomorrow night
I'm not a mind reader but I'm reading the signs
That you can't wait to see me again

[CHORUS]

I got my sights set on you and I'm ready to aim

[CHORUS]

I can't wait to see you again

Idħaq u Faqqa kemm Tiflaħ / LOL

A burglar breaks into a house. He starts shining his light around looking for valuables. Some nice things catch his eye, as he reaches for them, he hears, "Jesus is watching you." Startled, the burglar looks for the speaker. Seeing no one, he keeps putting things in his bag, again, he hears, "Jesus is watching you." This time, he sees a parrot.

"Who are you?" the burglar asks.

"Moses," the bird replied.

"Who the heck would name a bird Moses?" the man laughed.

"I dunno," Moses answered," I guess the same kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."

Why Don’t Penguins’ Feet Freeze?

Q: Why don’t Antarctic penguins’ feet freeze in the winter?

To avoid losing too much heat, penguins have adapted to their environment, preserving a central body temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Their feet present particular problems, since they have a big surface area (as much as one-third of the animal’s total body length) and can’t be insulated by feathers or blubber.

Two mechanisms help address the problems. First, the penguin’s body can actually control the rate of blood flow to the feet by varying the diameter of vessels supplying the blood. In cold conditions, that flow is reduced; when it’s warm, the flow increases. Humans do this too:Our hands and feet become white when we’re cold, pink when we’re warm.

Second, penguins have “countercurrent heat exchangers” at the top of their legs. Arteries supplying warm blood to the feet break up into many small vessels, as do the veins, bringing cold blood back from the feet. Because these capillary beds are so close to each other, they modulate the temperature of the blood in both directions.

In winter, penguins’ feet are held a degree or two above freezing—to minimize the heat loss while avoiding frostbite.

Paris Hilton tfittex ħabib jew ħabiba ġdida ara l-VIDEO (THAT'S HOT!)
16 ta' Marzu, 2008 13:12 CET


Paris Hilton qed tippjana programm ieħor bħal ma' kienet tagħmel qabel ma' Nicole Ritchie. Dan il-programm jikkonsisti f'Paris u l-ħabib jew ħabiba ġdida tagħha, imsejjħin BFF, li tfisser best friends forever jgħixu flimkien ġo dar waqt li jgħixu ħajja ta' tfajla normali, fejn jitkellmu fuq il-moda, ħwejjeġ u affarijiet simili.

Diġa applikaw 20 ġuvni u tfajla biex ikunu l-'BFF' ġdid jew ġdida ta' Paris. Hija għadha ma qalitx kif se tagħżel ir-rebbieħ jew rebbieħa, iżda qalet li din l-għażla se ssir wara li dawn l-20 finalisti jidħlu fid-dar ma' Hilton għal ftit żmien u wara tagħżel minn hemm. Paris insistiet li hi qed tfittex xi ħadd li tista' tafda u mhux xi ħadd li se jwarrabha u jagħmel affarijiet min warajha, bħal ħafna min-nies li ltaqgħet magħhom diġa ġewwa Los Angeles. Hija qalet ukoll li din il-persuna trid tkun taf tieħu gost biex b'hekk il-ħajja ma ssirx monotona.

Is-serje li Hilton kienet għamlet ma' Ritchie kien iġib l-isem 'A Series Life' u kien kiseb ħafna suċċess. Din id-darba Ritchie mhux se tieħu sehem għax hija għandha t-tarbija x'tieħu ħsieb filwaqt li qed tkompli ssaħħaħ u tibni r-relazzjoni tagħha mal-kantant ta' 'Good Charlotte'.

March 16, 2008 13:12 CET


Paris Hilton is planning another program as the one she used to do with Nicole Ritchie. This program consists of Paris and her new friend called BFF, which stands for Best Friends Forever, living together in a house while they live a normal life, while they speak about fashion, clothes and similar stuff.

20 young men and women have already applied to become BFF, of Paris. She hasn't said how she will choose the winner, but said that the choice will be made when the 20 finalists will spend sometime with Hilton at home, and then she sees from there. Paris insisted that she is looking for someone she could trust and not for someone who could abandon her and back stab her, as a lot of people who she met in Los Angeles already did. She also said that this person should be capable of having fun and stay away from monotonous lifestyles.

Hilton's series, which she had done which Ritchie was called ‘A Series Life' and had gained popularity. This time Ritchie won't be taking part as she has a child to take care of as well as she still needs time to work our her relationship with singer of Good Charlotte.

Surprise: World’s Tallest Structure Isn’t a Skyscraper

Believe it or not, there are a number of structures taller even than the infamous Burj Dubai. The tallest structure in the world, however, is an unusual candidate that reaches more than twice as far down into the ocean as said tallest skyscraper reaches into the sky. The Ursa tension-leg platform is an oil-production facility that is tethered to the ocean floor and is in many ways a surprising reverse of what most people imagine when they think of the world’s tallest structures.

[above: Images of and around the world’s tallest structure via SmugMug]

Radio towers and mine shafts have in many cases exceeded skyscraper heights, though of course these are supported by other means (such as secondary cables and surrounding soils). The Ursa platform is directly supported by its 4 primary tethers, though in an inverse way from how we normally understand load: the structure is held down rather than held up.

Not only is the Ursa platform the tallest structure in the world, it is also habitable: workers live day in and day out above the surface in modular attached dwelling spaces. Despite the enormity and expense of the structure, which weighs over 35 million pounds and cost 1.5 billion dollars to construct, these workers live in anything but luxurious conditions but are well-compensated for their efforts.

On a more somber note: one has to wonder what it says about our world that the tallest structure is dedicated to harvesting a non-renewable resource and can not be repurposed. Will this become another rogue micronation when it is no longer of use, or simply be left as a monument to times past when it is no longer considered to be of value?
