U Know U2?


25 must know about U2.

1.U2: the name of a soviet bi-plane, US reconnaissance aircraft, German submarine, a type of battery.


2.U2 named their 2004 album 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' because Bono envisioned the bomb as his father and the songs as efforts by him to deal with his father's death in 2001.


3.The difficult, and in U2's case deeply spiritual, second album. Released in 1981, 'October' was heavily influenced by the band's involvement in the Shalom Fellowship and their attempts to reconcile religious beliefs with the rock lifestyle.


4.'The Joshua Tree' was named after a national park in California. With sales of over 20 million, it currently ranks as the 89th best-selling album of all time.


5.The cover for U2's debut album 'Boy', which was released in October 1980 and went gold in the UK and platinum in the US, gave us the single 'I Will Follow'. The track was widely believed to confirm the band's Christian faith, but this went unproved until a 1997 NME interview.


6.U2's 1997 album 'Pop', which spawned the UK chart-topping single (and its accompanying Village People-themed video) 'Discotheque', was censored for its Malaysian edition, which took out the words "fucked up" from 'Wake Up Dead Man' - a rare instance of the band swearing in their music.


7.U2's much-maligned 1988 part-live, part-studio album 'Rattle And Hum' did spawn their first UK Number One - the Bo Diddley tribute 'Desire'.


8.Friend of the band Kirsty MacColl, who died in 2000, chose the order of tracklisting for 1987's 'The Joshua Tree', apparently based on her order of preference.


It's not only Alexandra Burke and Jeff Buckley that have tinkered around with Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' - Bono recorded a spoken word version in 1995.


9.U2 have worked on a variety of tracks for films, including the Bond theme 'Goldeneye' (performed by Tina Turner) in 1995, and a remake of the 'Mission: Impossible' soundtrack the following year.


10.Bono and The Edge wrote the song 'She's A Mystery To Me' for Roy Orbison, which was featured on his posthumous 1989 album 'Mystery Girl'.


11.US guitarist and backing vocalist The Edge got his nickname from the shape of his nose. He's estimated to have more than 200 guitars in his studio.


12.American law once passed something called the Bono Act, but it was nothing to do with this Bono, it was a Copywright Term Extension Act named after Cher's husband (and later political figure) Sonny Bono.


13.U2 got their big break on St Patrick's Day in 1978, when they won a talent competition and received £500 to record a demo. It wasn't until signing to Island in 1980 and recorded the Martin Hannett-produced '11 O'Clock Tick Tock' that they got their big break.


14.U2 were called Feedback and The Hype before they settled on their final band name.


15.David Howell Evans - aka The Edge - has only gone hatless a handful of times. Performing 'Miss Sarajevo' at the 1995 Pavarotti And Friends concert and the video for 1997's 'Discotheque' are two of the rare occasions you'll catch a glimpse of his head.


16.Larry Mullen Jr actually started U2. He posted an ad on a bulletin board at his high school in Dublin looking for musicians to start a band. Bono soon responded to the ad, telling him that he could sing and play the guitar. Adam responded next, and wound up being the only bassist to get back to him. The Edge, along with his brother, responded and went to Larry's house to jam, and the rest is history.


17.Bono had a series of nicknames before settling on the final one: Steinvic von Huyseman, Huyseman, Houseman, Bon Murray and Bono Vox of O'Connell Street.


18.U2 have sold more than 140 million albums worldwide and have won 22 Grammy Awards - more than any other band.


19.Some of the recognitions given to Bono for his humanitarian work: An Honorary Knighthood from the Queen of England (March 2007), Time Magazine's Person of the Year (which he shared with Bill & Melinda Gates in 2005) and France's Legion d'honneur, presented by President Jacques Chirac (2003).


20.On March 27, 1992, Bono took his clothes off in the middle of a crowded restaurant in London. He was drinking heavily, but according to his publicist, he was actually being interviewed by a journalist who was so bland and unimaginative that Bono thought it would be a good idea to strip.


21.According to a recent survey, U2's 1987 single 'With Or Without You' is the seventh most requested song at funerals in the UK.


22.Ever wondered how Paul David Hewson got the name Bono? it's a shortened version of a childhood nickname Bono Vox, which is Latin for good voice, and was also the name of a hearing aid shop in Dublin.


23.In 2002, all four members of U2 appeared on postage stamps in their native Ireland.


24.Although the U2 and Green Day cover of The Skids' 'The Saints Are Coming' was synonymous with the Hurricane Katrina disaster, the song was actually written about The Skids' frontman Richard Jobson's friend, who joined the British Army and was killed on duty in Northern Ireland.

Somebody is going crazy. This seems Spain.

A No Kissing sign has been unveiled at a Warrington railway station in a bid to cut delays.
The sign was placed by rail bosses at the passenger drop-off point at Bank Quay station.Virgin Rail, which runs the station, says if passengers want to share an embrace before they part company, their loved ones should pay to park their cars nearby.A Virgin spokesman said: "We have not banned kissing in the station."But we have put the sign up at the drop-off point because it is not a very big area and it often gets busy with lots of traffic."The sign is a light-hearted way of getting people to move on quickly."If people wish to spend a little more time with their loved ones before they leave, then they should park in the short-stay car park nearby."

The signs were erected after concerns that passionate embraces were causing delays for commuters with more passengers being attracted there.
Warrington Bank Quay is believed to be the first in the country to put up such signs.
Ruth Sargeant, 38, who uses the station to travel to Manchester, said: "It's ridiculous. I don't see the point of having a no-kissing area, surely people are entitled to say their goodbyes."
And another commuter, said: "It's daft. What are they going to do if they catch couples kissing, fine them?"

Bagels?


U wanna be a New Yorker. U won´t unless you taste a Bagel. A what?

A bagel is a bread product, traditionally made of yeasted wheat dough in the form of a roughly hand-sized ring which is first boiled in water and then baked. The result is a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and sometimes crisp exterior. Bagels are often topped with seeds baked onto the outer crust, with the traditional being poppy or sesame seeds. Some have salt sprinkled on the surface of the bagel.


Bagels are sacred to New Yorkers, our most hallowed morning ritual. What started out as a Jewish specialty is now all-American, and, naturally, everyone has an opinion about who does it best. Old-school aficionados swear by dense, fist-size rings, while challengers rave about the puffy, supersize variety. But there's one thing everyone seems to agree on: they're most irresistible fresh from the oven. A well-crafted bagel gives a lot of bang for your buck, and sometimes costs even less. The most famous and ubiquitous emporium is H&H Bagels, whose shop ships all over the world. Then there's the hotly debated Ess-a-Bagel—are its doughy disks wondrous or too elephantine?
Delicious guys!! Don´t forget to try!!

When we were heroes.


La verdad es que te entra la morriña, esa morriña que es tan nuestra. Ya ha pasado mucho tiempo y parece que no ha pasado tanto. Parece que aún fue ayer verdad?

El Depor va a jugar contra el Aalborg en copa de la Uefa el miércoles. Fue precisamente contra este equipo con quien jugamos por primera vez en europa. Exactamente el 14-09-1993 (20:30 h). Ya han pasado unos años y todos hemos cambiado.
Recuerdo la ilusión que me hacía que el Depor jugara una competición europea y deseaba que tocara un equipo Inglés especialmente el Arsenal que por aquellas también estaba en Uefa . Nos tocó el Aalborg.
El partido de ida lo perdimos 1-0 pero con Bebeto cagado de frio, claro. La vuelta se disputó el 28-09-1993 (21:00 h). Estábamos convencidos de que pasaríamos y en el cole no se hablaba de otra cosa. Así que me puse mi Bomber con mi parche de los Blues, que borrego, y disfruté de una gran noche. la primera gran noche en Europa. Goles de Bebeto y Claudio. Eran tiempos en los que la magía existía.

Ahora tantos años después la magía se ha perdido. Sólo espero que vuelva.

Beat Them!!


England is gonna play next Wednesday vs Spain. The former eurochampions think everything is goona be so easy. May be the don´t know The Pross.

Rio Ferdinand believes England's friendly against Spain on Wednesday will provide a yardstick to determine the national team's current standing on the world stage.
The Spaniards are the No1-ranked team in the world after winning the European Championship last summer, while England failed to reach the finals in Switzerland and Austria, but have since shown improvement under the new manager, Fabio Capello, by winning their opening four World Cup qualifiers.
And Ferdinand believes England can take that form into Wednesday's game in Seville. "It's a massive test. We all know the qualities of Spain; they obviously won the European Championships," said the Manchester United defender. "You only have to look at the names on their team sheet and it is full of quality. They have some of the best players in Europe, if not the world.
"But you don't fear playing anybody. We play for England and we know we can beat anyone on the planet. Recently we have played France, Germany and Croatia who people say are the top-ranked teams in Europe, if not the world. To add Spain to that list will give us a good pointer." Yeah!!!

Spinning.

Una cuestión que me parece fundamental a la hora de practicar deporte es la variación. Me refiero tanto a la variación de ejercicios dentro de tu rutina de entrenamiento, como a la variación del propio deporte en sí.

Desde hace varios meses estoy practicando Spinning, Ciclo Indoor que dicen en España. Tambien utilizan Cycling aunque mal utilizado, ya que esa palabra se refiere al ciclismo.

Cuando llegas a una clase de Spinning crees que con tu fondo no va a ser tan duro. En mi primera clase, a la media hora pensé que vomitaba (siempre con los dientes cerrados, claro) y fue la poca dignidad que tengo la que tiró de mi para no bajar de la bicicleta.
Vamos a explicar de que va todo esto. Para empezar hablemos de la bicicleta.

La bicicleta.
Lo más característico y diferencial de estas bicicletas son las ruedas de inercia. Sirven para dar sensación de dinamismo y que el pedaleo sea más natural. En este caso el peso bruto de la rueda es importante ya que cuanto más peso más energía cinética acumula y mas sensación de inercia que proporcionan.En el caso del manillar, se puede decir que une todos los conceptos y tipos de ciclismo de carretera, es fácil encontrar bicicletas con dos o tres tipos de cuernos, uno de ciclismo de montaña, otro tipo crono de carretera y uno alto de triatlón. Esto ayuda a cambiar la postura durante las clases y a realizar ejercicios diferentes con diferentes posturas, lo que le da más variedad a las clases.

Calorías?
El tema de las calorías es un poco complicado ya que depende de muchos factores como peso, fortaleza física, resistencia aplicada....etc.
Pongamos como ejemplo una persona de 75 - 80 kilos. En una clase de 45 minutos de duración a ritmo alto quemará 560 - 600 calorías´
Ritmo medio 480 - 500 y ritmo bajo unas 300.
Obviamente estos datos son aproximados.
Grasa?
Vamos al tema. Lo que nos interesa es quemar grasa. Que mejor sitio que este.
El spinning es un ejercicio físico normalmente muy aeróbico, al usar las piernas que es donde se encuentran los músculos mas grandes y fuertes del cuerpo, estos solicitan de mucha energía, y esta energía que chupan es la que te hace perder grasa. Ya que la grasa es energía acumulada por el organismo. Toda actividad física o el mismo mantenimiento de la vida, necesitan de energía. Estas calorías que dan de comer a los músculos y a todo el organismo provienen de las reservas energéticas que el cuerpo acumula, algunas en forma de grasa y otras en forma de glucógeno. El organismo primero utiliza otro tipo de reservas energéticas como el atp o el glucógeno, cuando esto se acaba (el ATP en unos segundo y el glucógeno en unos 30’) es cuando empieza a utilizar las grasas acumuladas. Estas grasas pueden estar en la sangre (las primeras que se utilizan o acumuladas. Por esto, es importante mantener el nivel de ejercicio mas delante de los treinta o cuarenta minutos, para dar tiempo al organismo a agotar las reservas de energía que no están en forma de grasa.

No os equivoqueis. Cuando os metéis en una cinta 15 minutos a correr, en mi humilde opinión, no estais trabajando casi nada. Lo único que se hace es perder líquido no grasa.
En mi caso en sesiones de 50 minutos pierdo 3 kilos de peso. Pero ojo!! un porcentaje muy alto es de de líquido que recupero cuando bebo. Sin embargo el porcentaje de grasa es bastante elevado en cada sesión. Constancia y esfuerzo.Si queremos adelgazar la realización de actividades físicas es esencial pero más importante aun es tener una ingesta de calorías ligeramente menor a las que quemamos. Así que como te james un bocata de chorizo al acabar...ya sabes.

Beneficios.
Y es que los ejercicios de spinning no sólo trabajan las piernas. La espalda, el abdomen y los brazos son otras partes del cuerpo que también se trabajan con el spinnig. Como ocurre con todos los ejercicios de fitness, la constancia y el trabajo progresivo son las claves para conseguir resultados rápidos y más visibles:
Deja los glúteos muy firmes.
Disminuye el latido cardiaco.
Disminuye la presión arterial.
Muscula las piernas tanto cuadriceps femoral y gemelo.
Tonifica los bíceps, los tríceps y los abdominales.


Ojo. No todo el mundo puede practicar este deporte debido a su intensidad. Si se padece alguna enfermedad cardiaca o problemas en rodillas, etc, está claro que no se debe hacer.
Para mi es una opción muy divertida. Un factor a tener en cuenta es como te imparten la clase. Puede ser un tostón con chunda chunda o una clase donde te hacen cantar canciones de Bon Jovi.
La intensidad al fin y al cabo la pones tú.
Así que ya sabéis. Dadle duro!!

White Town.

White town.
Thought it was deserted and empty,
but it was painted in green and gold.
Thought giants could defeat the knight,
and found her in a white town.
Come on, take my hand, I just wanna walk.
Come on take my life, I just wanna see.
How could I break the spell?
How could I spread that pain?
Just one tear dropped from the sky,
would be enough reason for you to die.
Dreams came true at last,
so many nights desirin´ to come fast.
The sun shone her presence at midday,
no man could ever think of finding that treasure.
Take me away, say what you say,
stop the world, ´cos this is my way.
In a long street, I felt it for the first time,
brightness came up to my life.
Kept still and felt the sweetness,
mind flew away, senses lost that day.
In a white town sky and earth emerged the same,
In a white town, she took my hand.
How could I break the spell?
How could I spread that pain?
Just one tear dropped from the sky,
would be enough reason for you to die.
LIVE FOREVER:
