Вчера нашел такой сервис шпи0н в контакте и по-доброму охуел.
Я уверен, что сайт скоро прикроют и программистов Контакта, которые допустили такую дыру уволят или хорошенько поимеют.
Сайт конечно безполезный для меня (я слежкой не страдаю), но по сути открывает возможности читать любые сообщения любого юзера вконтакте.
Для примера я заглянул в сообщения своей верной подруги и вот это сообщение мне не понравилось от тебя, Асечка (я понимаю, что мы с тобой давно не встречаемся, но направо и налево не нужно про меня всякое рассказывать. Спрячь свою ревность подальше...)

WORT DES TAGES
der Anpfiff (pl. die Anpfiffe) - (starting) whistle, kickoff, [football/soccer]; face-off [ice hockey]; bawling out [slang]

100 Tage bis zum Anpfiff! - 100 days until kickoff!

Er hat mich angepfiffen. - He blew the whistle on me. [slang]

Related:
der Abpfiff - final whistle [sports]
anpfeifen - to blow the whistle
das Spiel anpfeifen - to start the game
der Pfiff - whistle, catcall; knack

We are going to have a French test soon, and the teacher has given us a lot of excersises to practise before the test. One excersise came with this description: "Complétez chaque phrase avec la préposition qui convient". (chez, sur, avec, etc...) I didn't find it too complicated until this phrase:

Charles n'a pas fumé ______ trois ans.

I wrote "Charles n'a pas fumé pendant trois ans". But on the paper with the correct answers, I read that I was wrong and it should be "depuis", not "pendant".

Can someone please explain why "pendant" is wrong in this sentence? Can you give me an example where "pendant" is used correctly?

Here in maestria

So another lazy day. I woke up at eleven a. m., had a breakfast... Hmm, and played wow for a while, trying not to kill all those turkyes running everywhere as it's a celebration of Thanks giving. :)

After lunch we went with Jacob to park (it was actually just about sunset xD). The trees are more and more dead, I mean they seem so. Branches were reaching naked to touch the sky with all their effort. And the pond was full of colorful leaves which would be amazing if they weren't rotten xD For one moment we sat down on a playground on a wooden train. Watching that pale blue sky, I thought of becoming a transport engineer/builder so that I could build playgrounds. Wah. I stopped thinking like that just a few minutes later, thanks god :))

(Btw, I drove there and I must admit my driving is more and more terrifying xD)

After that I found two language courses I'd like to attend - one would be for CAE and the other one for studying french for I'm total freak at it. I also studied php. Again, oh yeah. You know, a few days ago I realized my school is way too easy to give me that level of knowledge I want. So I had a few minutes of deep thoughts about what to do, then a few minutes of trying to resist this hyperactivity and then I started doing something sensible. :))

Btw2 - are you going to cinema to the New Moon? I'm keen on going there to laugh at it with a huge box of popcorn but I'm afraid my account ran too low so I can't afford this fun (just before Xmas!) xD

We were thinking about adding a step up to our relationship and, let's face it, marriage isn't our sort of thing, so instead of marrying with each other, we both decided to marry the bank through a loooong mortgage. Yeah, those are the marriages that really last (LOL)

So....

1) ninja cuddling
2) being moved out
3) everything working
4) seeing the elephants
5) things coming together

1- Black Friday making Christmas come early. (HDTV, comfy PJ's)
2- Julie & Julia
3- Thinking about receiving a copy of a novel with my photo on the cover.
4- Hearing from my beau as soon as he landed in London.
5- Sleeping until 3pm today with no guilt.

This thread got me thinking about painting walls again. The management at my current place — moved in this past July and lease runs through February 2011 — will let tenants paint as long as they go back to the original color (a generic off-white) when we move out.

My living room and kitchen are divided by a counter, not a wall. The living room's been gradually working its way to a navy-based semi-Southwestern scheme and the kitchen is all about apples, pears and similar fruits. I'm still furnishing at the moment but expect to be done by next summer.

So I've been thinking about a medium blue accent wall in the living room and a peach type accent wall in the kitchen; the two colors don't clash. They won't be right next to each other but if you stand outside the hallway you'll easily be able to see both. My concern? I've never painted walls before and I have no idea what colors are safe and what aren't, when you know you'll eventually be painting them back. I'm also thinking about picking out the molding in a true white on those accent walls. (Right now it's the same off-white as the walls themselves and it is a complete shame, especially since I have a tray ceiling in the living room.)

Thoughts? Is it hard to paint over? Would I have to completely prime it down when I'm done? Has anyone else done the paint-and-paint-over thing?

Thanks!

( And now some gratuitous pictures... )

sorry if this is a stupid question but my lease is up on january 16th and it's my first apartment so i am not entirely sure how to go about this! my boyfriend and i signed a new lease with a larger apartment a few weeks ago (SO EXCITED BY THE WAY pictures soon!) and i've already given my current apartment complex notice as of november 15th even though they only asked for a 30 days notice.

ANYWAY my question is what is the usual routine with turing in your keys, how i get back my deposit, etc. i paid my rent for december already and i was going to ask them how much i'll have to pay for january (if anything) but like i said this is my first time doing this stuff so i'm not exactly sure how to go about the rest of it. my boyfriend and i are moving into our new place next weekend and i was going to come back during the week to clean up the old place, i'm kind of a neat freak anyway so there's not much to do just covering up holes from pictures and a little bit of paint so that will be done well before my lease is up. any hints, suggestions, anything? thanks!

and so this isn't completely boring here is a random picture of my current apartment:
( it doesn't show much )

I'm staying home again today. Not because feeling sick but... Well, I went to see a doctor (which was my intention for four years xD) and then, coming back home, it was just perfectly late for going to school for the last two lessons. Amazing! The problem is I forgot to take the apology from that doc so I was a bit worried I could have problems at school on Monday.

Oh and I fell like having a cigarette and a glass of delicious white wine! Damn it, I don't have enough money. Sometimes it's just so crappy, being a poor student :D

Still there are cool things to look forward to. E. g. this free weekend and seeing Alion after two years or so. Whah, I'm really curious how it'll be :)

1- The love of my life
2- Spending the beginning of this day with dear friends.
3- My family making a delicious traditional Thanksgiving meal.
4- The movie Love Actually making me melt every time I watch it.
5- Feeling the holiday spirit.

Hello, my name's Liz. I'm 20 years old and live in Manitoba, Canada, in a bachelor apartment that's about 270 sq ft(?). The main room is a disaster right now (there was a bed bug scare in the building, and two building-wide fumigations which required packing all your stuff up. both times I had no bed bugs! :D). I've been living here for a little over a year, and I'm still trying to downisize (I'm down to the sentimental and school stuff, ugh).

I also want a bit of advice on what to do with my kitchen. its so.. plain, and I just never got around to doing anything special with it. I like red accents in kitchens. I was thinking maybe some art, and some curtains, but I'm not sure what sort of theme I want :P

I wouldn't mind more art or photos in the bathroom, but I'm kind of worried about water damage from the humidity. I keep my bathroom well ventilated though.

For both the kitchen and bathroom, I HATE the tile floors. They look perma-dirty, no matter how often I wash them. I've kind of made peace with them, but they still look gross :(

( Here we go! )

Thanks for looking!
