09,10/05/2008 @-Ficou evidente a possibilidade da Ministra Dilma Russef concorrer à sucessão de Lula depois da magnífica no Senado. Analistas esperam pelo menos 10% nas pesquisas no mês de outubro. Dois dígitos de largada pavimentará a caminhada para 2010. A conferir @-Este blogueiro aposta algo em torno de 12% já em agosto! O histerismo da mídia corporativa ajudará e muito a Ministra. Não precisa conferir. @-Um Senador de República recebe documentos sigilosos (ou não) oriundos da Casa Civil, e o cidadão nada faz. O cidadão fica na espreita para no momento certo atacar o Governo via imprensa! O Senado Federal ficará passivo diante deste fato? A conferir @-O cidadão disse que tomou conhecimento do “dossiê” nos corredores do Congresso, ontem desmentiu o

Dalam sejarah dunia pendakian nama Sir Edmund Hillary ibarat sebuah legenda yang tak pernah mati. Dia lah salah seorang manusia pertama yang menumbuhkan keniscayaan orang untuk mencapai atap dunia di Himalaya. Lahir pada tahun 1919 di Auckland Selandia Baru dan tumbuh dewasa juga di daerah tersebut, sejak muda Emund Hillary telah memilki ketertarikannya terhadap dunia pendakian gunung. Meskipun di negaranya ia bekerja tak lebih hanya sebagai tukang penjaga lebah madu namun cerita hidupnya kemudian membuktikan bahwa Edmund Hillary telah sukses dengan berbagai pendakian di Selandia Baru, pegunungan Alpen sampai akhirnya ia sampai juga di puncak Himalaya. Dan suatu hal yang sangat fantastis, di Himalaya, ia berhasil bertengger di 11 puncaknya yang berbeda dengan ketinggian rata-rata diatas 20
Sir Edmund Hillary, the lanky New Zealand mountaineer and explorer who withTenzing Norgay , his Sherpa guide, won worldwide acclaim in 1953 by becoming the first to scale the 29,035-foot summit of Mount Everest, the world’s tallest peak, died Friday in Auckland, New Zealand. He was 88. His death was announced by Prime Minister Helen Clark of New Zealand. In the annals of great heroic exploits, the conquest of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund and Mr. Norgay ranks with the first trek to the South Pole by Roald Amundsen in 1911 and the first solo nonstop trans-Atlantic flight by Charles A. Lindbery in 1927.By 1953, nearly a century after British surveyors had established that the Himalayan peak on the Nepall-Tibet border was the highest point on earth, many climbers considered the mountain all b
Sir Edmund Hillary: 20 July 1919 - 11 January 2008Many will have read, heard or seen news that Edmund Hillary, one half of the first pair to reach the summit of Mount Everest has died of a heart attack in Auckland, New Zealand. He was 88.It was on May 29, 1953, that Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, set out from a camp just above the South Col of Everest 7500m. By 11h30, they stood atop the highest mountain in the world. Tenzing left some chocolates as an offering and Hillary left a cross. A picture of Tenzing Norgay atop the summit (right) was the sole "memento" from the trip, since Norgay himself did not know how to use the camera! (self-timers absent back then...)Hillary was famously reluctant to reveal whether it was he or Sherpa Tenzing who had actually reached the summit firs
Let me introduce Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa first if you don't know. They are the persons who climbed Mt. Everest for the first time in May 29, 1953.Hillary is from NewZealand and Sherpa from Nepal. Mt. Everest(8848 m) is the highest peak in the world which lies in Nepal. Today more than thousand mountaineers from around the world climb Everest every year. You might not know following things from climbing success of two climbers.1. Thier target was to be the first to be on the top of the highest peak in the world. But they didn't know how to go to the top. Only they knew was that they should be on the top one day. However, they themselves searched the way up there. Similarly to be successful in our life, we should set a goal and try ourselves even if you are trying for the first time. Whether you become succeed for not, totally depend upon you.2. Climbing that complicated, high peak where weather condition was not sure because you don't know when it rains, snows.
“Those who have been once intoxicated with power and have derived any kind of emolument from it, even though but for one year, never can willingly abandon it. They may be distressed in the midst of all their power; but they will never look to anything but power for their relief.”
