Valerie is such a blessed lady.  She already has two beautiful children and due to have another one in just a few weeks.  She wanted to do a maternity shoot with her third baby because she hadn’t done one before.  Lucky me!  It was very different from any shoot I have done so far, it is also my first maternity shoot ever.  I was able to use a lot of different techniques, which was super fun for me.  Good luck with the new baby, may he be a great blessing to your whole family!

Again, just like my first wedding, I posted a lot of the pictures but I just can’t help myself.

Saaalve galera Bola e Arte!!! É com muito prazer que inauguro a Sessão de entrevistas escritas do VídeoBlog Bola e Arte, e claro, um vídeozinho pra ilustrar que sempre é bom, né??

Hoje, não poderíamos começar melhor: Bati um papo com Alceu, que toca um projeto intitulado “Futebol de Rua”, em Heliópolis, zona sul de SP. O projeto é maravilhoso e faz nossos pequenos brasileiros passarem tardes felizes e produtivas fazendo o que tem mais talento pra fazer e aprendendo a se relacionar e agir com “Fair Play” – Vejam o vídeo:

O Futebol de Rua é todo articulado no dito “freestyle”, improviso com a bola no pé, sem permissão de fazer falta senão fica fora dois minutos e com um conceito de “não-regras” muito interessante!! Salve a anarquia bem articulada!!!

Conheci o Alceu durante a “Virada Esportiva” aqui em SP, quando eu ainda estava trabalhando no Programa Novo da Tv Cultura.. batemos uma bola juntos, gravamos matéria e trocamos contatos!!

Mas quem pode explicar tudo isso melhor pra vcs é o próprio Alceu, que o VídeoBlog Bola e Arte tem o prazer de apresentar agora:

 

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte:  Se apresente e apresente o Projeto “Futebol de Rua” p/ a galera do VídeoBlog Bola e Arte.

Alceu:  Salve Bola e Arte !!!  

Meu nome é Alceu de Campos Natal Neto, um apaixonado pelos esportes e especialmente pelo futebol. Desde cedo correndo atrás da bola, seja no futsal, seja no campo, na várzea, o importante era bater uma bola.

Sempre fui apaixonado pelo futebol arte e como não podia deixar de ser, na eliminação da seleção de 82 na Copa, quebrei 2 vidros em casa de raiva, incrédulo, é o fim do futebol arte…..

Em 2005, resolvi escrever um projeto cuja finalidade seria um futebol bonito, com dribles, livre, alegre, tipo nós quando eramos moleques e jogávamos na rua, tabelando com as paredes, com a kombi estacionada, driblando os postes e assim nasceu o Futebol de Rua !!!

Esse projeto tornou-se realidade no ano de 2006 com a fundação da ONG Futebol de Rua e a implantação do primeiro núcleo na Comunidade de Heliópolis, em São Paulo.  

 

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte: Fale sobre esse vídeo que vc disponibilizou pra gente. Regra número 1 do Futebol de Rua: Fair Play??

Alceu: Bom, os meninos do vídeo estão conosco desde a abertura do núcleo em Heliópolis e entenderam bem o espírito do Futebol de Rua, dos dribles, não fazer falta e também são habilidosos, dando altos dribles na molecada lá.

O Fair Play no Futebol de Rua é o jogue e deixe jogar, não pode fazer falta, deixar o jogo bonito corrrer solto e quem fizer está 2 minutos fora e se reincidir, fica fora da partida.  Se tomar um drible falamos para dar outro melhor, inventa, criem dribles novos, improvisem, o importante é o olé, a jogada bonita, um drible com uma assistência, enfim, o futebol arte, bom para quem joga e lindo para quem assiste!!!

Esse é o Fair Play do Futebol de Rua !!!

 

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte: Vc se surpreende com o talento da meninada que faz parte do Projeto Futebol de Rua?? Aparecem muitos interessados?? 

Alceu: Pô, CarlosCarlos, me surpreendo e muito !!! Por darmos total liberdade para eles criarem, se divertirem jogando bola, a cada treino eles nos surpreendem, nos fazem dar boas risadas !!!  Temos uma parte durante o treino que se chama “Momento FreeStyle”, onde durante 10 a 15 minutos, com vários tipos de bolas (tênis, golf, de meia, de vôlei, etc….), eles ficam fazendo embaixadinhas e malabarismos, seja sozinho, seja em rodas de alunos, o importante é estar ali deixando a criatividade fluir.  Você teve a oportunidade de acompanhar alguns alunos na Virada Esportiva desse ano e pode ver os meninos se apresentando felizes da vida !!!

Alunos interessados sempre aparecem Carlos, se tivessemos a possibilidade de abrirmos mais núcleos, com certeza lotaríamos de alunos, contudo não temos professores/voluntários suficientes para suprir essa necessidade. Em Heliópolis estamos lotados e sempre tem novos alunos esperando vagas.

Com relação ao interesse para patrocinar/colaborar com o projeto, infelizmente não, Carlos. Hoje o Futebol de Rua vive literalmente das suas próprias pernas, de apresentações que fazemos, de Clínicas que damos, enfim, estamos na correria, mas ainda é pouco para podermos remunerar merecidamente todos os nossos profissionais envolvidos no projeto.  Escrevemos a Lei de Incentivo ao Esporte esse ano e estamos no aguardo dela ser aprovada no Ministério dos Esportes.

 

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte: Nos âmbitos profissionais do futebol vemos cada vez menos espaço pro chamado Futebol-Arte. Porque isso vem acontecendo?? Vc acredita que hoje em dia os atletas-mirins são orientados desde cedo a não ousar??

Alceu: Hoje o futebol profissional é muita transpiração e pouquíssima inspiração. A força física praticamente consegue anular a técnica de um grande jogador nos jogos profissionais. Tanto que nos times de hoje, 99% jogam com 1 meia armador e 2 volantes!!?? Assim é facil de se marcar, o adversário tem 2 volantes, 3 zagueiros e um arsenal de faltas para parar aquele que brilha no espetáculo da bola. Os meias habilidosos estão cada vez mais escasos, o camisa 10 sumiu….

Acredito sim que desde as categorias de base hoje há cobrança para marcar, passar a bola rápido sem driblar, tocar rápido para não receber a falta ou perdê-la. Os meninos até tentam driblar, mas quando perdem a bola já ouvem que armaram um contra ataque, ou a perda da bola originou o gol ou a derrota do time e é assim que eles relacionam o drible desde cedo e aos poucos o drible vem morrendo, dando espaço aos chutões.

No Futebol de Rua queremos ver só camisas 10 em campo !!!

 

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte: O que vc acha de marcadores que intimidam por palavras e violência os dribladores de praticarem lances e dribles bonitos?? 

Alceu: Ainda tem muitos por aí, desde a várzea até o profissional, mas esses valentões não estão com nada, geralmente são aqueles ruins de bola que ou correm muito ou batem muito. No profissional, com a TV cada vez com mais recursos tecnológicos isso está fadado a acabar, mas a lenda existirá sempre.

A resposta para esses valentões caneludos são os dribles, os olés, até causar a expulsão deles de campo.

 

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte: Fale sobre os princípios de “não-regras” do Futebol de Rua. Existe um lado anárquico no futebol??

Alceu: Somos movidos a regras diariamente Carlos, isso pode, aquilo não pode……o futebol com milhões de regras, câmeras vendo tudo e mesmo assim árbitros fazendo barbaridades em campo, as regras existem mas depende para quem ela é válida, no futebol profissional, nem todos são iguais….

Com certeza temos o lado anárquico do FdR (Futebol de Rua), o não as regras, as barreiras, no FdR todos são iguais e ganha o mais habilidoso na quadra e todos que estão assistindo fora dela. Mas implícito nesse principio de não ter regras é que entram os valores, o respeito em levar o drible e dar outro, a alegria, a amizade entre jogadores, professores e o mais legal é que os próprios alunos ensinam os dribles e truques uns aos outros.

 

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte: Vc tem uma jogada preferida no chamado Futebol de Rua??

Alceu: Pô, CarlosCarlos, é dificil dizer uma jogada somente, é injusto, os dribles em geral me deixam muito feliz, me fazem dar risada, na verdade adoro o chamado moleque abusado, aquele que pega a bola e já parte pra cima com uma série de dribles, caneta, carretilha, etc…. gosto também de ver aquelas jogadas que o time inteiro participa, com dribles e belos toques e assistências…..e acho lindo mesmo a bicicleta !!!  Vixi, vou parar por aqui senão vou longe……

 

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte: Quase todo menino no Brasil carrega ou carregou o sonho de ser jogador profissional. Isso aconteceu com vc também?? Ou com o seu filho (se for pai)??

Alceu: Com certeza Carlos, quando moleque meu sonho era ser jogador de futebol profissional, sonhava em entrar nos estádios cheios, com a torcida lotada…. quem não sonhou em jogar no Maracanã lotado, fazer um golaço e correr pra torcida ??!!

Mas é isso que passamos para a molecada dos nossos projetos, não estamos aqui revelando talentos, mas sim criando cidadãos, nossos alunos tem que estar matriculados nas escolas, com boas notas e frequência na sala de aula. Os que se destacam encaminhamos aos “profissionais da bola”.

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte: Brasil = Futebol ou Futebol = Brasil??

Futebol=Brasil.  Sem dúvida somos os melhores do mundo, com mestrado dentro dos gramados, jorrando craques todos os dias nos campos espalhados pelo país, mas ainda analfabetos fora dos gramados, nulos administrativamente. Somos profissionais somente com a bola no pé, carecemos de profissionais do futebol dentro dos times, gerindo-os, são quebra galhos que dirigem nossos times, os verdadeiros cartolas.

Quando verdadeiros profissionais administrarem os times, eles arrecadarão “n” vezes mais, podendo investir na base, em estrutura, em mais profissionais em todos os setores, como uma verdadeira empresa.

E com certeza Futebol=Brasil, pois o Brasil tem muito mais que só o futebol e temos que dar valor as demais coisas também, como por exemplo nossas belezas naturais, a cultura rica do nosso povo de um país continental, etc…

 

CarlosCarlos Bola e Arte: Queremos agradecê-lo pela presença e dizer que o espaço está aberto para o Futebol de Rua aqui no VídeoBlog Bola e Arte.. e pra finalizar, complete com o que mais vc achar importante expressar e deixe os seus contatos!!

Alceu: Primeiramente agradecer o Bola e Arte, Salve CarlosCarlos!!!

E dizer que queremos muito expandir o Futebol de Rua por todo o Brasil, hoje são 2 núcleos em São Paulo na Comunidade de Heliópolis e 6 núcleos na cidade de Curitiba, um na Comunidade do Cajuru e os demais em Escolas Municipais da cidade.

Assim, quem se interessar, seja em participar, em ajudar, fazer parte, abrir novos núcleos, em conhecer, seja muito bem vindo!!!

Vida longa ao Futebol de Rua, abraxxx geral, muito obrigado,

Alceu

What a sweet little baby girl!  India is 7 weeks old and such a cutie.  She wasn’t very happy about taking pictures, but we did get some cute ones, especially when she fell asleep at the end of the session.

Chefsekretärin: Herr Doktor Zwanziger, ich habe hier einen jungen Mann am Apparat. Ich weiß, es ist ungünstig … die Pressekonferenz heute nachmittag und so … Aber er lässt sich nicht abwimmeln.

Theo Zwanziger (stöhnend): Stellen Sie schon durch …

Anrufer 1: Herr Doktor Zwanziger, vielleicht kennen Sie mich – Paul Pudel, Einheit Kamenz, Sachsenliga …

Theo Zwanziger: Ääähm, nein.

Anrufer 1: Aber Herr Doktor, Sie müssen mich kennen. Ich hatte sogar mal ein Tor des Monats, April 1999.

Theo Zwanziger: Was? April ´99? Und da sind Sie immer noch aktiv?

Anrufer 1: Sehen Sie Herr Doktor, so unentbehrlich bin ich!

Theo Zwanziger: Ähm, Herr …

Anrufer 1: … Pudel.

Theo Zwanziger: Herr Pudel … ja, was ist denn nun Ihr Anliegen. Ich habe nicht viel Zeit …

Anrufer 1: Wie soll ich beginnen … Herr Doktor. Also, nun wo das mit dem Robert Enke passiert ist … Und Sie haben ja gesagt, Fußball ist nicht alles und so … Und keine Diskriminierung mehr, auch nicht für Homosexuelle …

Theo Zwanziger: Herr Pudel, ich weiß, was ich gesagt habe. Kommen Sie bitte auf den Punkt.

Anrufer 1: Nun, es fällt mir nicht leicht, Herr Doktor. Wenn Sie mich sehen könnten, wie ich hier in Kamenz sitze und mir vor Aufregung fast das Telefon aus den schwitzenden Händen rutscht.

Theo Zwanziger: Herr Pudel!

Anrufer 1 (stöhnt): Ich mache es kurz, Herr Doktor. Ich plane mein Coming-out …

Theo Zwanziger: Tun Sie das. Sie haben meine vollste Unterstützung.

Chefsekretärin: Herr Doktor, ich habe hier einen Herrn Leopold in der Leitung. Auch er will Sie unbedingt sofort sprechen. Keine Chance, ihn loszuwerden.

Theo Zwanziger (seufzend): Geben Sie ihn mir auf Leitung 2! (drückt einen Knopf) … Herr Pudel, bin gleich wieder für Sie da … (drückt erneut einen Knopf)

Anrufer 2 (euphorisiert in deutlich erhöhter Lautstärke): Herr Zwanziger! Herr Zwanziger!

Theo Zwanziger (den Hörer weit von sich haltend): Ja, bitte.

Anrufer 2: Mein Name ist Ludwig Elias Leopold, Doktor der Ökonomie und Professor der Philosophie. Vielleicht haben Sie schon einmal von mir …

Theo Zwanziger: N E I N! Ich habe nie!

Anrufer 2: Auch gut. Herr Zwanziger, hören Sie mir jetzt gut zu. Ich habe die Lösung.

Theo Zwanziger: Lösung? Welche Lösung? Die Lösung wofür?

Anrufer 2: Für Ihren Wettskandal. Ich habe zwar nicht viel Ahnung von Fußball …

Theo Zwanziger: Dann rauben Sie mir nicht meine kostbare Zeit!

Anrufer 2: Aber Herr Zwanziger, hören Sie mich doch an. Nur eine Minute.

Theo Zwanziger: … meinetwegen, aber warten Sie kurz. Ich habe noch einen zweiten Anrufer in der Leitung … (drückt einen Kopf) … Herr Pudel?

Anrufer 1: Herr Doktor?! Ja also, wo war ich?

Theo Zwanziger (sich die Brille abnehmend und den Nasenrücken reibend): Ihr Coming-out.

Anrufer 1: Ach ja. Nun, ich habe mir gedacht, man könnte mir und allen anderen schwulen Fußballern die Sache ja erleichtern und habe da so eine Idee.

Theo Zwanziger: Und die wäre?

Anrufer 1: Na, man müsste es so ähnlich machen wie bei dieser … wie heißt es gleich … Beweisumkehr.

Theo Zwanziger: Ich verstehe nicht …

Anrufer 1: Alle Spieler müssten verpflichtet werden – unabhängig von ihrer sexuellen Orientierung – öffentlich als Homosexuelle aufzutreten. Heterosexuelle Aktivitäten hätten im Geheimen stattzufinden. Auf einen Schlag wären ich und meine Leidensgenossen aus dem Schneider.

Theo Zwanziger: Oh Gott, wie abstrus … Haben Sie schon einmal an die armen Spielerfrauen gedacht? (drückt einen Knopf)

Anrufer 2: Herr Zwanziger, sind Sie wieder da?

Theo Zwanziger: Also! Was ist nun ihre grandiose Lösung für den Wettskandal, Herr Pudel?

Anrufer 2: Pudel? Ich heiße doch nicht Pudel. Ludwig Elias Leopold ist mein Name.

Theo Zwanziger: Dann eben Leopold. Ihr Vorschlag bitte!

Anrufer 2: Nun, Herr Zwanziger. Wie Sie ja wissen, ist mittlerweile alles mit allem verbunden. So war es wahrscheinlich schon immer, aber erst jetzt nehmen wir die Unausweichlichkeit mit aller Konsequenz wahr. Und wie Sie sicher wissen, gibt es seit Jahren Bestrebungen, Doping zu legalisieren. Was läge da näher, als die momentane Situation des Wettskandals zu nutzen, um mit dem Doping auch gleich die prinzipielle Manipulation von Spielen zu erlauben.

Theo Zwanziger: Sie sind verrückt!

Anrufer 2: Aber nein, Herr Zwanziger. Ich habe ein ausgeklügeltes System entwickelt. Über Online-Portale könnten ambitionierte Mediziner, Chemiker und Geldanleger Kontakt zu allen Spielern aufnehmen und verhandeln, was immer sie gerade verhandeln möchten. Einen besonderen Anreiz könnte man schaffen, indem man die erfolgreichsten Manipulatoren am Ende einer Spielzeit mit zusätzlichen Geldausschüttungen belohnt. Haben Sie es vor Augen, was für ein vitales, pulsierendes Netzwerk das werden könnte. Was für eine zusätzliche, doppelbödige Spannung in die Wettbewerbe käme. Was sage ich! Nicht doppelbödig … Dreibödig, vierbödig! Die Verhandlungen der Manipulatoren mit den Spielern könnten zeitversetzt über Twitter laufen, nur gegen Bares mit Zugangscode. So wie jetzt die Sache mit den Fernsehgeldern.

Theo Zwanziger (mit den Fingerspitzen am Kinn die Qualität der Rasur prüfend): Es klingt … ähm … wild. Aber … ähm … nicht ganz uninteressant. Ich stelle Sie durch zu meiner Sekretärin, hinterlassen Sie bitte dort Ihre vollständigen Kontaktdaten. (drückt einen Knopf)

Anrufer 1: Herr Doktor Zwanziger? Haben Sie über meinen Vorschlag nachgedacht … dass alle schwul sein müssen …

Theo Zwanziger (sich nebenbei ein paar Notizen machend): Das habe ich, Herr Pudel. Ich denke, dass die Zeit für einen solch großen Schritt noch nicht reif ist. Aber Sie kennen mein Engagent in der Sache. Sie wissen, dass ich da schon Preise bekommen habe. Sie können also mit jeder anderen Unterstüzung meinerseits rechnen. Ziehen Sie Ihr Coming-out durch. Wenn es hart auf hart kommt, schicke ich ein Kriseninterventionsteam vorbei. Kein Thema.

Anrufer 1: Aber Herr Doktor …

Theo Zwanziger: Das ist alles, was ich im Moment für Sie tun kann. Einen schönen Tag noch, Herr Pudel!

Chefsekretärin: Ich bin untröstlich, Herr Doktor Zwanziger. Hier ist schon der nächste. Was ist heute nur los?

Theo Zwanziger (in unerklärlich ambivalenter Stimmung): Stellen Sie durch, stellen Sie durch, Frau Murkelmeier.

Anrufer 3 (mit vorgetäuschtem pakistanisch-irisch-norditalinienischen Akzent): Theo? Versuch es gar nicht erst mit einer Fangschaltung. Ich sage nur: Prepaid-Handy!

Theo Zwanziger: Was wollen Sie schon wieder. Ich kann nur wiederholen, wir sind ein sauberer Verband, wir treiben einen sauberen Sport.

Anrufer 3 (hüstelnd): Ich liebe Deinen Idealismus, Theo. Nun, wie ich dir letztens bereits sagte, diese 200 (lacht) manipulierten Spiele, die sind nur die Spitze des Müllberges …

Theo Zwanziger: … des Eisbergs.

Anrufer 3: Eisberg? Wieso Eisberg?

Theo Zwanziger: Man sagt “Eisberg”. Die Spitze des Eisberges. Auch wenn Müllberg in dem Fall durchaus treffender ist.

Anrufer 3: Okay. Auch egal. Ich möchte dir nur verdeutlichen, wie ernst die Sache ist. Weswegen ich dich heute anrufe, ist aber folgendes …

Theo Zwanziger (sehr ungeduldig): Ja, bitte!

Anrufer 3: Wie du vielleicht gehörst hast, bin ich gerade auf Auktionstour. Der nächste Weltmeistertitel ist im Angebot. Das Paket ist geschnürt, alle relevanten Personen in allen denkbaren Szenarien sind entsprechend gebrieft. Nun, die Brasilianer haben abgewinkt. In ihrer Naivität denken sie, es auch so zu schaffen. Größenwahn! Aber die Italiener haben einen schönen Batzen locker gemacht. Berlusconi persönlich, heißt es … Na, und die Franzosen erst … Wenn die den Zuschlag kriegen, kann Henry bei der WM den Ball ausnahmslos und über neunzig Minuten mit beiden Händen über den Platz tragen und im gegnerischen Tor ablegen. So sieht´s aus Theo …

Theo Zwanziger (mit leicht brüchiger Stimme): Lassen Sie mich wissen, wann und wo wir uns treffen können. Ganz unverbindlich natürlich. Jetzt muss ich erst einmal zur … ähm … Pressekonferenz.

When I was young I practiced different sports: Basket-ball, Dance, I played Football with my friends… and the first rules that I learned was the fair play!

The same Fair Play that the FIFA promotes in their website: “The generic concept of fair play is a fundamental part of the game of football. It represents the positive benefits of playing by the rules, using common sense and respecting fellow players, referees, opponents and fans.”

However, watching the last football games Egypt/Algeria and France/Ireland I am wondering what happens to this “fundamental part” of the sport?

Egypt/Algeria

The first meeting in Cairo was already announced as Dangerous. An Egyptian friend of mine explained me that the government try to secure as much as it can for it. Unfortunately, since the Algerian team was on the Egyptian land, the supporters started to fight. Then, the Fifa ” asked the Egyptian Football Association and the highest national authorities through the relevant ministries to provide written guarantees that confirm the implementation of the necessary additional safety and security measures at any time for the Algerian delegation. “

Fifa called again to Fair Play for the second game in Sudan….and it seems that no one hear it. Reading comments on Twitter, Facebook, we learned that it is a massacre in Karthoum, not only supporters but women and children may have been hurt during inexplicable furious attacks… Suddenly the Fifa stops commenting it! The media too… what is the reason?

… They are all busy trying to resolve the questioning victory of France vs Ireland.

If the problem of Algeria/Egypt is primarily visible in a supporter context and is symbol of extreme violence, besides France/Ireland game is relax. so what’s the problem?

Thierry Henry just forgot that Football it’s a game to play with the foot… nothing really important, if it was not the reason why France is now selected for the World Cup.

Ireland, angry that the referee did not notice the fault, asked for another game against France, claiming a fair one that time.

Ireland’s manager, Giovanni Trapattoni said earlier to the Telegraph: “All European people saw the situation. I am sure that, if the referee had asked Henry, he would have admitted to the handball. “I am upset for fair play because we are told many times about fair play.”

But this morning, the Fifa replied to the Football Association of Ireland, which asked to replay the match held on 18 November “that the result of the match cannot be changed and the match cannot be replayed. As is clearly mentioned in the Laws of the Game, during matches, decisions are taken by the referee and these decisions are final.”

France are once really quite about its victory. Happy to go to the World Cup, everyone feels ashamed to speak about the reason why, thinking “Is-it really fair”…

Fair Play seems to have been fairly contested this last days and the Fifa has a lot to improve to make that rules to be respected by supporters and players… World Cup, we will be watching you!

Adeola Aderounmu

Ireland wants a replay with France. Thierry Henry shamefully handled the ball in the second leg of the playoff thereby setting up Gallas for a dubious goal that gave France a 2-1 aggregate advantage.

FIFA is looking into the scandal that has rocked the footballing world. Keen observers are following and will like to see the outcome. Whatever the outcome is will give a signal as to what examples we set for our children on morality and ethics. Our children will like to know if it is ok to cheat in sports or exams.

FIFA has a moral obligation to set good examples. FIFA is also under pressure before the 2010 world cup to improve or increase the amount of technological input in football.

Henry should be given a post match red card and 5 match ban. In the future Thierry Henry should not be allowed to talk about sports to children unless he shows remorse for this shameful act.

As I do hope, fairplay should be emphasized more than ever.

Sports is a noble activity and all international organisations must stop at nothing to ensure that fairplay and justice, as much as possible, are promoted through sports. It shouldn’t be about money all the time even though money and sponsorships are important. Honour and integrity must be carried along. They are virtues we need to make the world a better place.

Je dois avouer rester sur un goût amer… je regardais ce match avec un irlandais et un anglais à Montevideo et ne trouvais rien à fêter.

Certains parleront d’un penalty non sifflé, d’autres que cela fait partie du jeu… imbéciles !

Sur ce seul match la France ne mérite en rien d’être à la coupe du monde, cette action de jeu, cette tricherie est en soit une défaite; il existe dans la charte de la FIFA la notion de fairplay peut-être serait il de bon ton pour la fédération de l’utiliser mais j’en doute; le risque de perdre une forte rentrée d’argent devrait certainement enterrer cette idée bien que l’image de l’équipe de France et donc des marques qu’elle représente en sortira terni.

En 1999 Arsène Wenger fût l’incarnation du “Fair Play” en demandant à rejouer un match de FA Cup que Arsenal avait gagné après que Marc Overmars ai marqué alors que l’equipe adverse avait mis la balle hors jeu pour une blessure, à la remise en jeu celui-ci n’avait pas rendu le ballon comme il est de coutume et avait marqué le goal de la victoire.

Selon les règles de l’association de football, il n’y avait dans ce cas aucune raison de rejouer le match, rendre le ballon à une équipe le mettant volontairement hors-jeu n’a rien d’une obligation, c’est un us; pourtant l’entraîneur d’Arsenal avait estimé à l’époque que ce résultat était injuste et que ce type de victoire était en soit une défaite.

Dans le cas présent il s’agit de deux erreurs de suite qui flouent un match d’une importance capitale, malheureusement FairPlay et business n’ont jamais fait bon ménage…

I am running a Christmas Portrait Special, for $99 you get a 30 minute session, 24 5×5 custom Christmas Cards with envelopes, 1-8×10, 2- 5×7 and 8 wallets.  Military families receive 50% off of that price.  Below are some samples of Christmas cards that I can do.  All cards will have a front and back to them.  Please call soon if you want to take advantage of this special.

In our family, we plan for Halloween a month in advance.  We love to dress up our kids and go trick or treating.  Everyone that lives in Colorado knows that the weather is very unpredictable.  Last year was so warm we never needed to put on a jacket, but this year we have almost 2 feet of snow on the ground.  Yesterday I took some pictures of my girls playing in the snow (my boy was with daddy).  My youngest, Shelby, was none too happy with the snow because she kept falling down and my oldest, Dixie, had the craziest hair under her hat, but they made for some cute pictures.  Right now is a great time to get Christmas pictures in all the snow with the aspen trees.  See my Christmas Special.

Well, it has been awhile since I blogged.  I have been busy with orders, but mostly I have been spending some quality time with my family.  My husband is on vacation so we have been out-of-town or really sick with the flu.  It has been nice to just enjoy my kids and spend time with my wonderful husband!  Here are a few pictures I took of my oldest daughter, Dixie, because she was so excited about a new outfit she got.  I have to admit, it’s a little 1980’s.  The first picture is one of her with her beloved blaknkie that she takes EVERYWHERE with her.  I know you ask, “Isn’t she almost 5 years old!”, yes she is, and I don’t want her to grow up, so she can have it as long as she wants it!

Yesterday a county judge in Oklahoma ruled in favor of vehicle purchasers, declaring that they could receive the state tax credit for the LSVs that they purchased.  The lawsuit was brought by Ada Electric Cars and H20 Sports Unlimited and other dealers joined as well including GKU Electric Vehicles LLC, Heartland Outdoors LLC, Pat’s Archery Inc., and Xtreme Cycle and ATV LLC.

The judge’s order states low-speed vehicles sold by manufacturers Tomberlin, Ruff & Tuff, Stealth, Fairplay and Bad Boy Buggie qualify for a state tax credit.  The order also includes, “any other low speed vehicles similarly equipped as those described above qualify for … ‘ the state tax credit. Specific models noted in the order include Tomberlin E-Merge E-2, Tomberlin E-Merge E-4, Tomberlin Anvil, Tomberlin E-Merge Classic, Ruff & Tuff NEV2, Ruff & Tuff NEV4, Ruff & Tuff Cruiser EV2, Ruff & Tuff Cruiser LX2, Ruff & Tuff Cruiser LX4, Ruff & Tuff Hunter 4×4, Stealth Patriot LSV, Stealth Patriot LSV 4 X 4, Fairplay EVE, Fairplay Goat and Bad Boy Buggie XT LSV.

The Oklahoma State Tax Commission responded to the announcement by stating that it would appeal the ruling.  The commission stated that the tax credits could cost the state more $40 million.  If this is true, at the high end an average tax credit of $8,000 per vehicle translates into 5,000 vehicles sold in the state and at the low end an average tax credit $4,000 per vehicle translates into 10,000 vehicles sold in the state. In either case the figures represent an enormous boost to the LSV market. – Marc Cesare

Campeonato Holandês (apesar da reversal russa), jogo interrompido, o árbitro da partida coloca a bola em jogo, e o jogador do Ajax devolve a pelota para o time adversário, como bem manda a regra moral do futebol: “fair play”.

Ao menos, era para ter só devolvido!

Se fosse com o Pet, aposto que ele tinha saído para comemorar com a torcida, e ainda tinha mandado um “foda-se” para o outro time que deu mole. (não entendeu? então clica aqui!)

Debetto

Love these little ones!  Zoe, the girl with the blue eyes, is my daughter Dixie’s best friend and I took some pictures of her when she stayed with us for a week in July.  Her mom asked if I could take some pictures of all three kids.  It turned out to be the perfect fall evening to do pictures.  Torin, the little boy, is such a character and was doing all kinds of funny faces for me, like spiderman!  We were trying to get Torin to flex, but he didn’t want to, so his sisters got in there and showed him how to do it.  The oldest, Kayden, is such a sweet, smart little girl and she had all the poses down.  I just love you all so much!  Thanks for giving me some great pictures to post.

Along with these next two families I had another family this week, but I will not post the pictures from that shoot until after Christmas, so be looking for that one.

The Hogans are a really active family, involved in just about every sport you can think of.  Their two girls are as sweet as can be.  Aja is in my son’s class and sits next to him in the front row.  A couple nights ago he says, “Aja is smart, I should just copy what she does.” and we said, “I don’t think that you should do that because then you would be cheating, but maybe if the teacher says it’s ok then she can help you if you need it”.  Isn’t it funny what kids will say.  You guys have such an incredible family.

Gloria is Evan and Joshua’s cousin and after seeing their photos her mom asked if I could take some of Gloria.  Gloria is such a cutie!  I love her smile and how she is such a happy little girl.  I also love the super curly, puffy hair.  Her mom wanted some Christmas pictures and I wasn’t quite sure how I would pull that off outside in the middle of fall, but some of those pictures turned out to be my favorite.

I wish I had beautiful blond hair down to my bottom!  This little girl has the most beautiful, long, blond hair I have ever seen.  I am so glad I got to know the Masons better and that they let me come to their home and take pictures of their family.

I LOVE THIS SHOOT!  I must say that this was one of my favorite shoots.  I got to do this shoot over in Bailey and am I glad I made the trip.  This family is just absolutely beautiful and the place that we took the pictures was so amazing, with lots of different backdrops.  The stairs that they are sitting on were built in the early 1900’s.  We hiked back to a waterfall and even though there was little shade to get out of the direct sun, they still turned out great.  I hope you all enjoy and are able to pick a favorite, because I couldn’t even narrow it down to just a few.

Morgan is about the sweetest girl you will ever meet.  I have known her since she was in 6th grade and she would do just about anything for anybody.  She goes to school in Cripple Creek and while she isn’t quite sure what she wants to do after high school, I know that she will do great things.  I love you Morgan, and I hope you have a blast this year and good luck on homecoming, you will make the perfect queen (because I know you’re going to win)!

Ok, this shoot was super fun to do.  The Ritchies were the winners of my free portrait session and package and they were really excited about having some family pictures done.  They decided to dress up in old western period clothing and have their pictures done up at St. Elmo, they even had some old guns that we used in a couple of the pictures.  It was cool and rainy that day, but we still got some good shots.  The boys were so much fun to work with and they each had such a unique personality, especially the youngest.  Thanks for the great idea and the fun shoot.

Do to weather and other circumstances two of my photo shoots were postponed until later this week.  But for now I have a couple other shoots to share with you.

I had the privilage of doing some engagement pictures for Brian and Valerie.  They wanted some engagement pictures with her kids as it’s not just the two of them getting married but a whole family uniting.  She also asked if I could take some pictures of the kids (Rylee and Gavin), who by the way are adorable!  It was a beautiful fall day to take pictures and they turned out pretty nice.  I am really looking forward to doing their wedding and Valerie’s  maternity shoot.
