If I had a superpower...

If I had a superpower it would be flying, because I could fly anywhere, but more important, at least from my point of view, is that I wouldn't have to wait for the traffic. But even if I could, I probably wouldn't do it anyway for two reasons: First, I preffer to walk because I do excercise and I can talk with the person I am walking with, and second, I would't want to be seen while I fly, someone can see me, and all the press will talk about it and everybody will go crazy. But I still would like to fly.

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (200 words project)

The topic of my project is the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, the main bands of this genre, its style and influence to the actual Heavy Metal and Hard Rock.

Frequently abbreviate as NWOBHM, it appeared in England at the ending of the 70's, it was mostly inspired in the hard rock of last decade, and bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Kiss, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Some of its main survivors are Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Diamond Head, Raven, Saxon, Grim Reaper, Tank and the recently extincted Samson.

The NWOBH had a decline as many other musical movements. Bands like Def Leppard move away from the genre towards the mainstream hard rock to increase the american market. Bands like Van Halen, Mötley Crüe and Guns N' Roses were found by many rock fans, and the faster and heavier Thrash Metal replace the british metal. However, Iron Maiden and Motörhead stayed with their original sound, earning a considerable and lasting success, besides the decline of their sound.

The NWOBHM was an important genre to the heavy metal and music, and influence the new genres that appeared sence the 80's, like the Trash Metal, influencing bands such as Metallica.

Robberies in Concepcion


After the earthquake and tsunami in Chile, there were lots of robberies all along the country, specially in Concepcion, so the autorities decreeted a curfew there, but it didn't stop the stealing, beeing this justified by lack of food, besides lots of people steal more electrical appliance like LCDs or even fridges than food. Now that there are no strongs aftershocks, and the curfew finished, by now, the looting finally stopped.

St. Joseph



Saint Joseph was the husband of Virgin Mary, and the earthly father of Jesus. He worked as a carpenter. When he found out that Mary was pregnant, he was going to leave her in secret, because he was a just man, and he didn't wanted her to be punished, but an angel appeared in his dreams, and told him that Mary conceived through the Holy Spirit, and told him in another dream that Herod was planning to kill Jesus, and ordained him to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt. The last appearance of Joseph in the Bible was when Jesus visited the Temple in Jerusalem. Is assumed that he died after Jesus was 12 years old.
