Da se odmah razumemo, ovaj sajt/firma je odlicna. Dva puta sam ih koristio i bilo je maksimalno korektno. Posle nisam. Zaboravio sam zasto. Medjutim, danas sam se prisetio kada sam pokusao da nesto porucim. Izgubio sam 20-ak minuta i shvatio da cu da izgubim jos vise ako se stvarno zainatim, a glad mi nije dala mira, pa sam odustao i kupio pizzu na cosku.

A zasto je to tako, molicu lepo?

Logicno je da se sajt koji posreduje/prodaje dostavu hrane fokusira na hranu. Da, logicno je ali je potpuno pogresno. Kada malo analiziramo, dolazimo do zakljucka da je hrana najmanje bitna u celoj prici. Read more…

Suddenly I got desire to eat onion pie, since I had some nice pastry for puff pies. Unfortunately, I had only 3 small onions so I couldn’t make classic “Tarte à l’oignon”, so I decided to create my own reciepe. Let’s call it “Tarte à l’oignon de Emil” since in french sounds sexy.

So, let’s get on with it. If I had, I’d use 6 onions. As in classic, onions should be cut on rough pieces. Fry it for a minute at most and add water to slowly cook it in this water-oil emulsion. It takes about 10 minutes to make onions soft and melting.

In another pan, I have fried 150 gramms of grinded meat, one chopped carrot and about 100 gramms of mushrooms. I have used “Pleurotus ostreatus” known as “Oyster mushroom” as I like this one, but you can use any other. Of course, add salt, pepper, pinch of curry, one dent of garlic and pinch of basilic/salsa.

At this point, it looks like this:

Ovaj tekst je informativnog karaktera, opisuje sistem javnog prevoza u Sao Paulu/Brazil. Ne želim da pravim komparacije sa BusPlus-om, to ostavljam vama. Pa da počnemo.

Kartica za prevoz

Kartica za prevoz je skoro identična sa BusPlus karticom, s razlikom što važi za sve vidove javnog prevoza, kao što su autobus, metro i voz.


Čitači kartica

Čitači kartica su umnogome jednostavniji i ne liče na iPad tablet jer ispisuju samo cenu vožnje koja je skinuta sa kartice i dodaju “Srecan put”. Za BusPlus ne znam, ali ovi su Read more…

How many times have you heard something like this?:  “Men always stare at women genitals”. “Women doesn’t drive as good as men”.  While both statements are wrong, final impression by sampling does confirm some of those.

Alan and Barbara Piz, behavioral experts and psychologists have done major research in this field and others with help of scientists for the area and have come to results that eyesight of women and men differs greatly. Root of this difference is made by evolution. While men were to bring food on the table and protect the group, women were to protect children from immediate threats and take care of them. Evolution has made our eyes different to serve better the purpose.

Easy and free video converting is not any more sole priviledge of GNU/Linux operating system. Program called FFMPEG, which is the ultimate video editor and converter has came to Windows too. You can download it from here: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

However, there is a problem: FFMPEG is a command line program which is difficult to use. Instead of searching for expensive solutions or front-ends, I have made simple batch script that you can use to convert video files. Script is set to be used to convert videos downloaded from youtube to a format playable on most TV sets that has USB etc.

Script is changable easily, and legally. Here it is. You need to select all and copy text to your favorite text editor. Save file under any name you wish, but add “bat” extension. Example: “convert.bat”.

Bonfire sparkles high into starry sky,
Pinewood whispers it’s blazing song,
Fragrant smoke enriched by the yellow thyme,
Carrying dancers to the dreams along.

Mesmerized they dance in circles,
Celebrating this happy night,
Elven maiden now embraces,
Their brother of human kind.

In the shallow water they stand,
Holding hands and looking to eachother’s eyes,
Silently praying to the Lady of the lake,
For everlasting joy by the approaching sunrise.

And brothers still dance and sing,
They raise their hands as the flames leap high,
Shadows were bending and straitening shy,
As he gave his love a gemstone ring.

High above raven soared,
Overseeing this event of men,
Happiness is back to his master’s face,
From his wings to their embrace.

He came flying from far away,
Breeze chills his soaring wings,
Over the mountains, forests and lakes,
Enjoying every breath he takes.

On the lake below his master’s heart was taken
By the single glimpse of an elven maiden,
And their eyes were met in that moment long,
Her heart was taken along.

High above raven soared,
To his claw message was tied,
Of a love that happened that day,
And took his master’s rest away.

To the hunter elf she was promised,
Raven have seen her many times menaced,
And since that day she lost the will,
To cook hunter’s every kill.

Raven waited from above for morning to come,
For hunter to leave his madam,
And loose him of his sight,
So he can begin his delivery flight.

He knew he’d soar again right after,
Carrying message back to his master,
Chilly breeze will be again on his wings,
Making master happy with maiden’s loving greetings.

In a land of lakes and forests of old,
Far to the north near the icy sea,
Centuries passed of a lovers that were lost,
And still legend was being told.

Under those trees on a grassy ground,
two hearts to eternity were bound,
Beautiful Nymph Arja’s heart,
To the heart of pagan prince Eemeli.

His love to her angered mother Tellervo,
Goddess of a forest and a light,
To prevent her love to this human,
She hid Arja with her magical might.

Eemeli asked the grass if it feels her touch,
And the trees if they hid her emerald eyes,
But the nature remained silent,
In fear of mother’s terrible wrath.

He used his mighty Runes,
And Runes showed his Love,
Her silhouette sparked motionless,
Buried under sacrificial stone.

“I am here buried under the stone,
Mother’s wrath binded me to the earth,
To hide me from your human touch,
To hide me from your honest love.”

Goddess felt his strength,
Felt her daughter’s love untamed,
Wrath consumed mother’s mind,
Burnt them both with her might.

As he awoke from thousand year’s sleep,
In a strange land and with a strange name,
He could feel her love so deep,
He could feel the same soul’s flame.

Many years he spent in his quest,
Found her lands and seas apart,
Near the same forest and the stone,
Where their love was laid to rest.
