Sammy was more interested in the shredded paper than the award :lol:

'It's back to square one': Family of Meredith Kercher accept court verdict on Knox ... but say agonising search for the truth goes on Meredith Kercher's family showed incredible stoicism today as they faced the world's media and said they accepted the Italian court's decision to clear Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito of her murder. However Lyle Kercher, the murdered student's brother, said questions remained about what really happened to Meredith that November night in 2007 and it was 'back to square one'. He said: 'While we accept the decision that was handed down yesterday and respect the court and the Italian justice system, we do find that we are now left obviously looking at this again and thinking how a decision that was so certain two years ago has been so emphatically overturned now.

Apologies, the next one is courtesy of google translate! :lol: Chris Martin of Coldplay, wants to come to the Rio Carnival If you have not been squeezed in among the crowd at Rock in Rio to watch the concert of Coldplay, here goes a tip for those who hope to run into, as nonchalantly in darling Chris Martin, lead singer of the band. Minutos antes de entrar no palco, o marido de Gwyneth Paltrow , entre uma dose e outra de vodka, bateu um papo exclusivo com a coluna e contou que pretende voltar ao Brasil para assistir aos desfiles no Carnaval do Rio. Minutes before going on stage, the husband of Gwyneth Paltrow, and another between a dose of vodka, chatted exclusively with the column and said he intends to return to Brazil to watch the parades during Carnival in Rio Se ainda não tem contato com os organizadores dos camarotes da Sapucaí, vai se mexendo. Caso contrário, vai ter que dar a sorte de esbarrar com o moço em alguma rua da zona sul carioca. O cantor bonitão desfilou os olhos azuis por Ipanema horas antes de se apresentar na Cidade do Rock. Tomou açaí — quer até importar a fruta para Londres —, adorou ver o por do sol por trás do Morro Dois Irmãos e voltou para o hotel livre, leve e solto dos paparazzi. If you do not have contact with the organizers of the Sapucaí cabins, will be moving. Otherwise, you will have to give the good fortune to bump into the young man in a street in the southern Rio de Janeiro. The singer paraded handsome blue eyes by Ipanema hours before performing at Rock City. Acai took - or even import the fruit to London - was delighted to see the sunset behind the Morro Dois Irmãos and returned to the hotel free, light and loose from the paparazzi. Mas quem não ficou nada espremida — mas nada mesmo — durante o show foi a carioca Mariana Feijó, de 20 anos, moradora de Niterói. Ela, que foi a grande vencedora de uma promoção da Heineken e concorreu com outros 500 mil fãs para conhecer o grupo britânico, passou a madrugada de domingo junto com os integrantes da banda. E com direito a conhecer o ídolo Chris Martin no camarim, tirar fotos, ganhar autógrafos e também ter seu maior sonho atendido pelo vocalista: que ele escrevesse num papel especial o título de uma das canções mais conhecidas, “Viva La Vida”. O motivo? “Vou transformar esse original feito com a letra dele em uma tatuagem na barriga”, conta ela, animadíssima, repetindo o tempo todo que estava em alfa. But who was none too squeezed - but nothing at all - during the show was the Rio Mariana Feijó, 20, who lives in Niterói. She who was the winner of a promotion of Heineken and competed with other 500 000 fans to see the British group, began early Sunday along with the band. And with the right to know the idol Chris Martin backstage, take pictures, get autographs and have their greatest dream also attended by the singer: he wrote a special role in the title of one of the best-known songs, "Viva La Vida." The reason? "I'll turn this original made in his handwriting in a tattoo on the belly," she says, thrilled, repeating all the time he was in alpha. E mais, quando já ia se despedindo, Chris deu meia volta e pediu que um assessor convidasse a fã eo namorado, Thiago Reis, para assistir ao show num cantinho em cima do palco. Nesse momento, a menina parecia não acreditar e começou a chorar de emoção . Essa astuta coluna foi junto e acompanhou tudo in loco. What's more, when he was saying goodbye, Chris turned around and asked an aide invited the fan and her boyfriend, Thiago Reis, to watch the show in a corner on stage. At this point, the girl looked angry and started crying with emotion. This column was astute and followed it along on the spot. No backstage, ela logo fez amizade com Ben Johnson , o técnico de som do grupo. No meio do show, enquanto gritava compulsivamente por Chris e cantava to-das as músicas, Ben explicava como funcionava alguns equipamentos e lhe deu de presente uma palheta usada pelo guitarrista Jonny Buckland , além de uma cópia do set list do show. “São relíquias que vou guardar para o resto da minha vida”, disse ela. Antes de voltar ao palco para o bis, Martin pegou o presente que Mariana havia lhe entregado — uma bandeira do Brasil — e encerrou a apresentação abraçado ao mimo. . “Não acreditooooo!”, exclamava a sortuda. Backstage, she soon made friends with Ben Johnson, the group's sound technician. In the middle of the show, shouting and singing by Chris compulsively to-the songs, Ben explained how it worked some equipment and gave her a guitar pick used by guitarist Jonny Buckland, and a copy of the setlist of the show. "They are relics that will keep for the rest of my life," she said. Before returning to the stage for the encore, Martin picked up the gift that Mariana had given him - a flag of Brazil - and ended the show embraced the pampering"There acreditooooo!" Exclaimed the lucky one. Aproveitamos pra bater uma papo com Chris. Antes, um único pedido da produção: nada de falar da vida pessoal. Leia-se Gwyneth Paltrow. We used to beat a chat with Chris. Previously, a single application of production: nothing to speak of personal life. Read up Gwyneth Paltrow. O que achou de participar do Rock in Rio? Adorei tudo. O evento é muito bem organizado ea estrutura não deixa nada a dever aos grandes festivais de música ao redor do mundo. Me surpreendi com o tamanho disso tudo. What did you think of participating in the Rock in Rio? I loved everything. The event is very well organized structure and leaves nothing due to the major music festivals around the world. I was surprised by the size of it. Conseguiu aproveitar a cidade? Até que sim, mas quero voltar com calma para conhecer o Carnaval. Dei uma volta por Ipanema acompanhado pelo Will (Champion, o baterista), vimos um por do sol espetacular e tomamos um suco delicioso, cor vinho, que eu não lembro o nome, numa lanchonete. He managed to enjoy the city? Until they do, but I want to return quietly to see the Carnival. I took a walk around Ipanema accompanied by Will (Champion, drummer), we saw a spectacular sunset and make a delicious juice, burgundy, I do not remember the name in a cafeteria. Não seria açaí? Exato, esse mesmo. Nunca tinha experimentado, não é muito bonito de se ver, mas é delicioso. Até pedi pra trazerem uns copos pra nós. Toda a banda gostou e combinamos de pedir sempre que possível nos nossos camarins. Sabe se consigo encontrá-lo em Londres? It would not be açaí? Exactly, that one. I have never experienced, is not very pretty sight, but it is delicious. I even asked to bring a few drinks for us. The whole band liked it and agreed to ask where possible in our dressing room. Do you know if I can find it in London?

A few thoughts on Rock in Rio from a Brit abroad in Brazil It’ been great this last week living in São Paulo and being able to watch Rock in Rio every night. This is I think the world’s biggest rock festival, spanning a whole week, with around 100,000 people in the audience each night, and with a television audience of millions. The festival kicked-off last week with a much publicised set by Katy Perry. This for me was quite embarrassing, as she shouted her songs and shouted at the audience in-between. Her songs do not really translate well to live performance, as the vocals to me seem extremely processed on the recordings, and they become tuneless in a live context. Despite this being a concert that gives western artists phenomenal exposure not just in Brazil, but Latin America, you would think that they would at least maybe learn the most basic of simple Portuguese phrases such as “Good evening Rio!” (Boa noite Rio) and “thankyou!” (Obrigado/obrigada). But no, not one single word of Portuguese from these superstars. Things got a little better with Brits Elton John, and Jay Kay, the lead singer of Jamiroquai, as I am sure I head “obrigado” a few times, although a little mangled in their Estuary-English accents. It was only when we got to one of the headline acts, Coldplay, that we really heard a little more Portuguese, with Chris Martin asking the crowd “Everyone Ok at the back, on the left, on the right, at the front?” in Portuguese. Both Coldplay and Maroon 5 who had proceeded them brought on Brazilian flags which was great to see, with Martin also painting “Ri♡” on the wall to the left of the stage, much to the crowd’s delight. What is noticeable from a British perspective is how all the headline acts each night were either British or American. Brazil is a hotbed of creative musical talent, but it seems that foreign acts, and basically English-speaking acts are far more highly regarded than acts from their own country. I went to see top rock band Skank a couple of weeks ago in São Paulo, and I can assure that they totally rocked the house with a passionate crowd. They were playing last night too, but were on just at 8pm, before the final Brazilian band Maná. This would never happen back in the UK! Today I was searching for reviews of the Coldplay gig to show some students of mine, but all I could find was one paragraph from The Sun about Martin’s grafitti antics. What a shame that there has been so little international press coverage of this phenomenal festival. When you move to Brazil it is quite amazing to discover so much amazing art, music and culture that simply has no exposure whatsoever. Perhaps times are changing though? With Brazil now really coming to prominence in the new economic realities we are facing, maybe it is now time for Brazil to come to the attention of the world not just for the fact that it has natural resources and riches to be exploited, but that it has so much culture and art for the rest of the world to discover and learn from too. http://businessnaturally.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/a-few-thoughts-on-rock-in-rio-from-a-brit-abroad-in-brazil/
