Godfather Quotes and Lines

"A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."

"So the next day, my father went to see him; only this time with Luca Brasi. An' within an hour, he signed a release, for a certified check for $1000. [Kay: "How'd he do that?"] My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse. [Kay: "What was that?"] Luca Brasi held a gun to his head and my father assured him that either his brains, or his signature, would be on the contract. That's a true story. That's my family, Kay, it's not me."

"No Sicilian can refuse any request on his daughter's wedding day."

"Today I settled all Family business, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo."

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

"Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever."

"I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life--I don't apologize--to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize--that's my life--but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone. [Michael: Another pezzonovante] Well, this wasn't enough time, Michael. It wasn't enough time. [Michael: We'll get there, pop. We'll get there.]"

"My father taught me many things ... keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."

"Fredo, you're nothing to me now; not a brother, not a friend. I don't want to know you, or what you do."

"If anything in this life is certain; If history has taught us anything, it's that you can kill anyone."

"I can handle things, I'm smart, not like everybody says. Not dumb, I'm smart, and I want respect!"


"Whatcha go to college to get stupid? You're really stupid!"

"We're all part of the same hypocrisy, Senator. But never think it applies to my family."

"I don't want anything to happen to him while my mother's alive."

"When Pop had troubles, did he ever think that maybe by trying to be strong, and trying to protect his family, that he could lose it instead?"

"[I will never work for you. I have bad memories.] I'll always be your son, but I will never have anything to do with your business."

"I betrayed my wife. I betrayed myself. I killed men and I ordered men to be killed. Ah, it's useless... I killed -- I ordered the death of my brother. He injured me. I killed my mother's son. I killed my father's son."

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. [Our true enemy has not yet shown his face.]"

"I would burn in Hell to keep you safe."

"Times change. These days, we learn from the philanthropists like the Rockefellers. First you rob everybody, then you give to the poor."

"When they come, they'll come at what you love."

"All my life I kept trying to go up in society. Where everything higher up was legal. But the higher I go, the crookeder it becomes. Where the hell does it end?"

"You know Michael, now that you're so respectable, I think you're more dangerous than you ever were. In fact, I prefer you when you were just a common Mafia hood."

"Never hate your enemies -- it effects your judgement."

"Politics and crime -- they're the same thing."

"I swear on the lives of my children -- give me a chance to redeem myself, and I will sin no more."

"Nephew, from this moment forward, call yourself Vincent Corleone."

Sparks Fly

Every new year I try to take Fireworks pictures but I took horrible shots. But this are simple tips that you and I should do to take good firework snaps.

1. ISO - Use the lowest ISO possible (100 - 200)

2. Aperture - for ISO 100 ( f8 - f16 ), for ISO 200 (f11 - f22) choose the aperture by testing each setting...

3.Shutter speed - There are no specific speed to use... after you have select any aperture setting, test the shutter speed starting from 5 seconds to 10 seconds. Adjust it accordingly. Use BULB setting if needed...

4.Put your camera on continuous shooting mode...

5.Put your camera on manual focus and focus to any subject near the fireworks..

6.Use remote release to trigger the shutter to reduce camera shake...

7.Keep taking pictures until the fireworks end

8.Last but not least... Enjoy!!!...

Sa Saturday makakalaban namin ang READS sa inter-color na my record na 3 panalo at 1 talo..ang record namin ay 2-2. Kung kami ay mananalo kami parehas ay magiging 3-2 at mgkakaroon ng knock-out game laban sa amin at sa READS..bali twice to beat sila, parang ganun na nga. Ung dalawang panalo namin ay sa ECE at JPCS, tpos natalo kami sa HRM at GANJA na parehas naming pedeng manalo. Sana ay 4-0 na kmi, pero ganyan talaga bilog ang bola.

Throwback

They have a lot of tradition between them, and they brought back one blast from the past on Sunday that some might argue could have remained in the time capsule.Playing against the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers wore throwback jerseys featuring vintage 1970s short shorts. Smiles could be seen from many courtside fans as Kobe Bryant and the Lakers took the court. Laughing former Laker Rick Fox snapped a couple of pictures.

Forward Trevor Ariza even wore knee pads a la Magic Johnson.But the Lakers did find their fashion sense at halftime, coming out of the break in regular baggy shorts.The Lakers couldn't help coach Phil Jackson make some history. The 110-91 loss kept him in a tie with Red Auerbach for seventh place on the career wins list.Jackson and the Lakers were going for their season-high fifth straight victory, but the Celtics upped their win streak to six games.Jackson earned his 938th win as a head coach on Friday night, when the Lakers (19-11) beat Utah 123-109. He matched the career total of Auerbach, who recorded his last 795 wins with the Celtics.
