I guess you’ve heard the news about Dubai – the oil rich, over-spending tiny Arab Emirate that tried to rebuild “The world” is now drowning in debt!

The country can’t pay some 60 billion-dollars it owes to mostly European banks. The news sent European stock markets plunging, which in turn dragged American markets down with them.

(I hope the protectionist people see a lesson in there. When America sneezes the world catches a cold. And when the world is down with that cold…the virus finds its way back to the US!)

I feel sorry for President Obama…

The poor guy DID NOT create any of the messes he now has to deal with. How do you fix Dubai or the next Dubai? How do you insulate the US from these economic meltdowns…and can we?

I guess these are questions for FED Chairman Ben Bernanke…and Treasury Secretary, Tim Geitner.

Bernanke is one of the few people I have confidence in on the economy. I don’t particularly care for Geitner. I’ve always thought that HE should NOT have been appointed…after his tax debacle came to light.

Geitner did not pay 34-thousand-dollars in self-employment taxes when he worked at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It is supposedly a common “mistake” that Geitner conveniently realized around the time he was being nominated for Treasury Secretary.

How can a banker, and a prominent one at that, or anyone in the financial industry, especially the top dogs, NOT know they have to pay taxes…and on what?

That is a question that should flummox me; NOT the former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

If you don’t understand a simple thing like that, HOW CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONSIDERABLY MORE COMPLICATED US ECONOMY?

Still, the IRS did NOT go after Geitner. But it comes after me…and YOU – ordinary Joe (NOT John McCain’s Joe the non-plumber – the IRS went after him! That poor Joe!).

Do you know auditors sent me a letter over my withholding for a couple hundred dollars? Even though I stapled a COPY of the bank forms to my return?

Yep. But Tim Geitner slipped through the cracks. I guess our tax guys are more efficient here in Massachusetts.

Anyway, back to Dubai!

In August 2008, CBS’S 60 Minutes ran a story on Dubai entitled: A visit to Dubai Inc. Steve Kroft reports on a Success Story In The Middle East.

News headline this past week: Debt crisis in millionaires’ playground could herald new phase in global financial meltdown

I feel sorry for people who are near retirement and have invested in the Stock Market…

Heck, I feel sorry for myself. But I don’t feel sorry for Dubai!

60 Minutes opened its Dubai piece by saying: Dubai is a tiny sheikdom nestled along the Persian Gulf on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula and part of a tiny, oil-rich country called the United Arab Emirates. Over the course of just a few decades, it has transformed itself from a spit of sand about the size of Rhode Island into the Singapore of the Middle East.

Kroft described the transformation as: the vision of one man, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum.

According to 60 Minutes: One project, called by some the “largest construction site on earth,” was just desert several years ago. The site employs half a million laborers, working 12-hour shifts on a reported $300 billion worth of projects, building Sheikh Mohammed’s dream of a modern, efficient and tolerant Arab city with fine restaurants, a vibrant nightlife, that is both the playground and business capital of a new Middle East.

Sheikh Mohammed came up with the idea of turning Dubai into an international center for finance and media. He set up a series of free trade zones, promising no taxes, minimal regulation, and special incentive to corporations willing to locate to the emirate.

Since it opened three years ago, the Dubai International Finance Center has attracted banks, investment firms, and capital from around the world

According to the Sheik: Five years from now you’re gonna see towers on your right, towers on your left. You’re gonna see a kilometer-and-a-half garden where you can exercise. And if you’re bored of that, you can go underneath it for a kilo-and-a-half shopping mall…and it is not the largest shopping center in the world. Because that’s next door…

The Sheik was referring to The Burj Dubai development, where the largest shopping center in the world is under construction at the base what will become the world’s tallest building.

The building includes the first Giorgio Armani hotel with floor after floor of million dollar apartments. It was already nearly a mile high, and when it is finished it will be twice as tall as the Empire State Building.

60 Minuets reported that: With no environmental regulations to stop him, Sultan began dredging a hundred million cubic yards of sand from the Persian Gulf, along with seven million tons of rock to form a man-made Island in the shape of a palm. It more the doubled the coastline of Dubai, and created waterfront condos and homes for 150,000 people, not including 35 hotels.

The palm island project sold out in less than a week, and houses that initially went for $1 million are being resold by original investors and real estate speculators for five times that.

Three more off-shore developments are underway, including a chain of 300 man-made islands, some of which will be private. They are shaped and situated to resemble a map of the world, which is what the project is called.

That was in 2008.

 And coming from a real island, when I saw those low-lying sandbars they were referring to as Palm “islands” I thought of a tsunami…

This past week (ending 11/28/2009), Dubai World set off its own financial tsunami when it announced it needed more time to pay back some of its 60 billion-dollar debt.

As you have all have heard recently Dubai is going through a financial crisis. They have racked up about $80 billion in debt building their city from practically nothing. The Debt crisis was already predicted a few times before with many people questioning dubai’s leader the Sheik about the rapid development in dubai being financed solely by borrowing. All the construction projects launched by the government of Dubai was basically on borrowed money. Dubai didnt plan for an economic downturn where their real estate projects would not sell and they would be able to repay the money they borrowed. The misuse of funds and not building the proper infrastructure to support development even if the real estate market crashed was a wrong move. Now dubai Burden by Debt cannout leave the construction projects undone. I think that Dubai should not have borrowed to much. $80 billion to build a city that is Kind of a bit too much. So just think about it is it worth $80 billion to build a city from nothing? or is $80 billion too much to build a city??

Khalid Sheik Mohammed is among 5 terror suspects in connection with 9/11 that will be due for trial for New York in the near future in a Civilian court, a move that many Americans are finding quite controversial. This issue may play a major factor in the outcome of the midterm elections next year in light of recent polls that have been released. Only 29% of Americans approve of the president’s decision. Those who oppose it, which is clearly more than half do for good reason. The consequence of putting these terrorists into civilian courts is the much more strict constitutional guidelines that subsequently take effect.

Now the administration has come and is promising Americans that these people will be brought to justice and will not be released onto America soil in the off-chance they are acquitted. We’ll unfortunately we saw in a 2007 Appeals court ruling that indefinite detainment of Terrorists legally on American soil is not allowed. Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri was ordered to be released by the court during the Bush administration because since he was being detained on American soil, constitutional law then applied. This is overlooked but will acts as a strong precedent because of its proximity in history to this event.

How can we trust then that there is not a risk of this happening again with the detainees being brought in to be tried in civilian courts?

The answer is, We can’t. There is concern being raised that they might be released on technically. Now although this is seemingly very unlikely, let’s take a look at a couple different routes defense attorneys could go about arguing that point. Since the constitution applies, they could bring up the grievances on the fact that Mohammed was detained for 6 years which stands in violation of the rules for a fair trial. They could also contend the likelihood that they could actually assemble an impartial jury. Now, depending on how receptive the judge is of those arguments will be a major player in the outcome of that trial, but it’s definitely something to watch.

The idea that these people who have been detained for war crimes against this county would be given civilian constitutional rights is an abomination against our constitution. It is unprecedented in history. If you weigh in the absolute atrocities being committed against our troops overseas today, its amazing to think that we’d even consider returning any kind of favor to them. Not to mention the fact that these people have openly professed that they would return to their militant ways upon release because they think they are religiously driven. You can’t change them, so it’s ludicrous to undergo that kind of risk.

Although the original plan for the day was to paint a burning graffiti production at The Boiler Room in Eureka, things didn’t turn out that way. Sheik went to the Accident Gallery to get a box of Montana spray paint, and found the gallery closed. When I asked him why, he mumbled something like, “it’s the swine flu man.” I had actually flaked on buying the buff paint, and was relieved to hear this. Well, we had planned to paint, so we decided to break out the brushes and canvases and go find a dope spot to paint.
We soon found ourselves at the mouth of the Madd River, a few miles north of Arcata California. There was not a cloud in the sky, the wind was very mellow and the waves were large. We packed our gear (consisting of boxes of paint, canvases, chairs, and a radio) down the trail a little ways to a spot that the Sheik knew had a dope view. We got the the spot to find some dude there, eating some food, enjoying his solitude. Well, we came there for that spot too, so we came down the train and dropped all our shit and began scoping the view. The dude vibed out a few minutes later, we were to weird to chill near… and not too soon, for we began to puff tuff and get ready to slap some paint to the canvas.
All in all, the day was awesome. Quite a few hikers came by, only to turn back when confronted with two grown men, sitting in focused hypnosis, listening to Coast to Coast at rude levels, the smell of weed hanging in the air, posted up right on the trail… lol.
here are some pics…

My view... and my shoe

The tree we sat by.

It’s Friday. The president is flying off to Asia. Congress is not in session. Perfect time to drop a bombshell on the American people:

The Obama administration is bringing 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed to New York City for a civilian trial.

No, it’s not a joke. Via the NYT:

Self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court, an Obama administration official said Friday.

The official said Attorney General Eric Holder plans to announce the decision later in the morning.

The official is not authorized to discuss the decision before the announcement, so spoke on condition of anonymity.

Bringing such notorious suspects to U.S. soil to face trial is a key step in President Barack Obama’s plan to close the terror suspect detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Obama initially planned to close the detention center by Jan. 22, but the administration is no longer expected to meet that deadline.

It is also a major legal and political test of Obama’s overall approach to terrorism. If the case suffers legal setbacks, the administration will face second-guessing from those who never wanted it in a civilian courtroom. And if lawmakers get upset about notorious terrorists being brought to their home regions, they may fight back against other parts of Obama’s agenda.

Here is the e-mail the DOD’s Director Victim Witness Program sent out to victims, survivors, and family members of jihadi attacks this morning (via Sgt. Tim Sumner, brother-in-law of FDNY Joseph G. Leavey, 45, Ladder 15, WTC):

You are receiving this email because you have been identified as a victim, survivor, or victim family member of an Al-Qaeda attributed attack and have requested to be kept informed of events involving detainees charged in military commissions or being held in the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility in connection with those attacks.

We would like to inform you that the U.S. Departments of Defense and Justice will be making an important public announcement later this morning. At 10:30 am Eastern Standard Time, the Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism will post information for victims about the announcement on its password protected victims’ website. At 11:00 am the Defense and Justice Departments will issue a joint press release notifying the public of the information, and there will also be a press conference. In addition, the Defense Department will notify victims about the information by email.

Both the Defense Department (Karen Loftus) and the Justice Department (Heather Cartwright) are sending out this e-mail to ensure that as many victims as possible receive it. We apologize if you receive duplicates. If you know of other victims who may be interested in the information, please pass this on to them.

Here’s what Tim sent in response:

We have an announcement as well: we will fight with every remaining breath in our bodies both their bringing KSM and the rest of the 9/11 conspirators to federal courtrooms within walking distance of where they slaughtered our loved ones. And whomever finds Manhattan’s federal courthouse near Ground Zero a “sentimental favorite” for the 9/11 trials is a damn fool and they ALL ought to be fired. Pass that message on, far, wide, and up and down the chain-of-command.

See here for a petition to the president.

If this White House thought Tea Party activists were an “angry mob,” wait until they see the backlash from 9/11 family members and their supporters nationwide. We’re not going to sit down and shut up about the reckless, security-undermining Obama 9/10 agenda and conflict-of-interest-ridden AG Eric Holder.

Call them out.

I’ve written extensively over the years on the perils of civilian trials for terrorists. See here and here and here for a refresher course in the Ally McBeal
approach to terror.

Andy McCarthy exposes the underlying Obama/Holder agenda:

We are now going to have a trial that never had to happen for defendants who have no defense. And when defendants have no defense for their own actions, there is only one thing for their lawyers to do: put the government on trial in hopes of getting the jury (and the media) spun up over government errors, abuses and incompetence. That is what is going to happen in the trial of KSM et al. It will be a soapbox for al-Qaeda’s case against America. Since that will be their “defense,” the defendants will demand every bit of information they can get about interrogations, renditions, secret prisons, undercover operations targeting Muslims and mosques, etc., and — depending on what judge catches the case — they are likely to be given a lot of it. The administration will be able to claim that the judge, not the administration, is responsible for the exposure of our defense secrets. And the circus will be played out for all to see — in the middle of the war. It will provide endless fodder for the transnational Left to press its case that actions taken in America’s defense are violations of international law that must be addressed by foreign courts. And the intelligence bounty will make our enemies more efficient at killing us.

I’m not too in to halloween, but when my friend decided to dress as Sheik for halloween (A Zelda character. Yes, old school video games still live). I decided to make the harp that accompanies the costume (and the hat, but that was a way smaller project). Edit: This is made out of paper and glue with cardboard at the very center. Painted in acrylic. This is NOT paper mache!

Results:

I think it turned out rather well. Yes?

Undercover Sheik by Dana Marton

Rescued by a powerful Sheik

Once they arrive at his palace it seemed someone beyond the walls still wanted her dead. The Sheik insisted on keeping her close or Sadie would become another bandit’s bargaining chip. But could this sexy and determined man really be as good as he seems?

He’s back in the saddle again. Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn from “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy) saddles up a new horse as he rides into the adventure epic, “Hidalgo”.

Mortensen plays real-life legend Frank Hopkins, a long distance horse racer and dispatcher who ends up washed up and in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Hopkins gets the challenge of a lifetime when a Sheik (Omar Sharif) sends for him to enter the epic 3,000 mile race across the Arabian Desert. The Sheik urges Frank to prove his claim that he is the best long distance racer in the world. Can Frank and his beloved horse Hidalgo survive such a challenge in a far off land? Can they endure the infamous Ocean of Fire and live to tell the tale? This stubborn cowboy sure hopes so.

“Hidalgo” is great escapist entertainment as Frank’s adventures in Arabia are plenty and fun to behold.

Mortensen is stern and steadfast as the cowboy hero and there is a lot in common here to his beloved portrayal of Aragorn. Mortensen maybe a laid back actor but his simpler portrayal of Frank does show he can be an audience favorite.

It is nice to Omar Sharif return to the silver screen and it was kind of funny seeing the cameo from C. Thomas Howell. The female leads in the film match Mortensen word for word but I never found captivating or enthralling. That is kind of a shame since it would have been nice to see what Mortensen was like next to a strong female lead character.

Easy now, boy!

Hidalgo’s director Joe Johnston has always been a favorite of mine. The man has directed such projects as “Honey I Shrunk the Kids“, “The Rocketeer“, “Jumanji” and “October Sky“. Johnston has also taken up the reigns of the “Jurassic Park” franchise from Steven Spielberg where he directed “Jurassic Park 3” and is slated to directed “Jurassic 4″.

Johnston has always had a certain style for his films. His unique use of music and grand adventure scenes have always been a staple. “Hidalgo” has a lot of elements that are staples of a Joe Johnston film and it is amazing how they bring a lot more to the film. He has always been a great audience pleaser and Hidalgo is no different.

I liked a lot of Johnston’s panoramic and silhouette shots of Viggo and horse. I liked how he was able to bring life to the most lifeless of places. There are so many of those kinds of scenes in this film.

The film also reminded me some of those old Sheik love stories starring Rudolph Valentino and the film adaptations of the Arabian Knights. It was almost like one of those films with a Gary Cooper or mellower Charles Brosnan styled cowboy trapped inside. It was a lot of fun seeing the genres mix it up.

My only problem with the film is that it feels quite long. The film’s story is a simple one spread across a 3,000 mile race. There really is no depth to sustain the film’s exotic adventure.

This adventure film won’t win any awards or challenge us in anyway but like the film’s central character it is steadfast, true to itself and a joy to watch.

4 out of 5

So Says the Soothsayer.

Irina Sheik

I, to this day, have never found a more beautiful being in existence. I found this russian model by total accident. I was googling for Hottie number three on my list, ‘Shiek,’ and she came up on page 30039493 on my search for Sheik Pictures. I like this particular picture, because she is painted with this paisley-ish body art, and it’s so fricken beastily.

Kate Beckinsale

I first saw her in The Underworld trilogy. I have since kept up on her every move in film. She was really powerful in Snow Angels, but I still dig her best in Underworld, she makes a fine ass vampire.

Zelda/Sheik

This is my longest running crush. I have played every Zelda game. My favourite being, Ocarina of Time. She was hottest in Twlight Princess. It was before I finished Ocarina I had a secret crush on Sheik. When I finished the game, Sheik unveiled…itself as being Zelda. I honestly thought I was gay because of that video game.

Shannyn Sossamon

I first saw her in A Knight’s Tale. I don’t know why, but that movie is one of my favourites. It’s an odd movie, but it has a good cast, with Heath Ledger as the lead. She was adorabley cute in Wristcutters: A Love Story.

Anna Paquin

I fricken love Anna Paquin. I loved her before all you True Blood posers did. I loved her in Fly Away Home, as I, myself had pet ducks and geese as a child(they lived in my bathroom and then my backyard). X Men was the shizz. I then loved her slutty portrayal in 25th Hour, but indeed we truely hit jackpot with True Blood. She is on my hotty list, because, well she has such a unique look. Come on how many of you wouldn’t risk getting the life sucked out of you for her to touch you just once; what I wouldn’t do to be a glove on her hand(<—X men reference)? I know i'd risk it, readers, I know I would. She has this really deep, innocent look to her face. Her teeth have more character than you will ever have in your entire being/soul.

Jason Schwartzman

you will have to do a double take when you see this kid in Rushmore, even then I think he was a cutie. He blossomed into quite the looker when he hit Darjeeling Limited, who didn’t pause the shit out of Hotel Chevalier? He recently had a role in Funny People.

Hugh Jackman

I really like Hugh Jackman. He has this guidance to him that seems like he’d make a great mentor, say if you had the chance to meet him. I’m basing my prior statement purely on his portrayal in X Men and how he watched over Rogue. So, yes, I do have a little girl crush on him, but more in an admiring way.

Elliot Smith

What can I say, it’s Elliot Smith. i’ve listened to live recordings of him talking, and he’s so soft spoken. He’d be one of those relationships that would sit on your mind so heavy it’d be nice just to have ever known him as a friend. Aha, you know considering fricken ELLIOT SMITH would of befriended you. I don’t know why I think his death is the reason we aren’t good friends, and not the fact he’s FRICKEN ELLIOT SMITH. I like to think we would have a lot in common…me an Indian girl rockin hick towns, and he, a beautiful man with a melodic voice that could soothe you into a coma.

Stephen Moyer

I’ve only seen him in True Blood. But I…Want…To….Tap….That……Ass.

A friend of mine went a week back to Dubai, and is working for the ‘Rivoli’ group. A couple of days ago, she got a call from a person who revealed he was a Pakistani and his name was Sheik. Sheik threatened her to transfer credits to his phone. He said if she cut his call or told about this call to anyone, she would be insulting his religion, Islam. A humble girl she is, at the cost of sounding rude and causing insult, she could not refuse him and paid up whatever he demanded. She later realized that she had lost close to Rs.80,000/= over a phone call. That was her savings of years.

I still don’t get, why a handful of hooligans, are bent upon bringing shame to their fellowmen, by their senseless criminal attempts. They are a disgrace to the respectable religion of Islam.

When approached, the Dubai police, voiced helplessness. That sounded like sheer indifference. Their profession, I always thought, is of helping provide justice to all inhabitants.

Does this prove the negligence of the Dubai police towards foreign workers or is all the respect they have for their profession? For once I feel, our Indian police fair much better! At least they attempt to solve the issue, or direct you to someone else, they think can help you.

I doubt, with the Law keepers showing helplessness, is Dubai a safe country to be in today?

By: Dukemich

Let me clarify something right from the start. The final smashes on the list are not necessarily the most effective but they are the coolest final smashes. This game is great and provides hours of entertainment. I’m usually Pikachu, who is one of the most annoying characters in the game next to Pit. I pretty much use two attacks, the lightning and the charge up jump at the other players thing. I’m not good at this game at all, but if you’re right above I’m gonna use the lightning attack and kill you.

Anyway, let’s start the countdown.

#10 Captain Falcon

Captain Falcon’s smashes is pretty cool and powerful. You just have to have the right position and time it right.

#9 Sonic

Sonic becomes really fast and just wreaks havoc. I’ve heard that this is easier to control than Pikachu’s Final Smash.

#8 Diddy Kong

Exploding peanut guns. Just what I always wanted. It’s a powerful smash that lasts for a while. There’s really no avoiding it.

#7 Olimar

He’s probably the worst player in the game but his final smash is awesome. You slowly have your health taken away and then you’re blown off the screen.

#6 Fox/Falco/Wolf

This smash is great. You could crush, push, and shoot other players off the stage.

#5 Snake

This smash is awesome and I hate being on the wrong side of it. It’s powerful and pretty effective. It’s just fun to shoot at people (in the game obviously).

#4 Ike

Ike’s is pretty cool with the flaming sword. He beats you up and if you have a decent amount of damage you die.

#3 Marth

If you get hit by this you’re pretty much dead and you fly off the screen. Very powerful.

#2 Link/Toon Link

Don’t get hit by that. It’s just awesome and powerful. It pretty much combines Ike and Marth’s smashes.

#1 Zelda/Sheik

A giant arrow to the head. That’s just awesome.

That’s the top 10. Please comment I’d love to hear what you guys think. Remember these are not necessarily the most effective but when you connect they are awesome.

Damas y caballeros. Le voy a contar la historia de un muchacho alegre y jovial. Jesus Ramiro (omitimos apellidos) alias “El Sheik” es un joven de 18 años, o sea está en la flor de la vida, estudia la prepa y tiene muchos sueños e ilusiones. Nuestro heroe es reservado, tímido y ha sufrido 2 batazos seguidos de la misma persona loc ual ha afectado en su autoestima.

"Ayúdenme por favor"

Por su timidez nunca ha probado la gloria de lo que es “meter su carro en una cochera”, “que le destapen la corcholata”, “que le truenen su cacahuate” y es algo que este muchachón realmente necesita.

En La Chaira somos socialmente responsables y no seríamos capaces de permanecer indolentes ante esta noble causa. Es por ello que los 6 integrantes de ésta página nos honramos en presentar el evento que puede cambiar una vida por completo. CON USTEDEEEEES…

EL DESVIRGATON 2009

Asi es amiguitos, este magno evento es con el fin de que “Sheik” al fin “peine la ardilla”. No, no queremos buscarle novia, solo queremos un encuentro casual para este mozalbete. Si de ese encuentro surge algo mas, pues adelante, pero nosotros solo queremos que le ponga.

BASES

El asunto consistirá en que ustedes amiguitas nos mandarán una bonita foto de cara y de preferencia cuerpo completo, para que nuestro execrable chairero de corazón solitario las conozca (también tiene que saber quién es la, o el, que se interesó en sus carnitas). Si incluyen dos líneas sobre la razón por la que entran a este Desvirgaton 2009, se les agradecería infinitamente (ergo, es requisito).

La dirección para mandar las fotos es

los.chairas@gmail.com

Ustedes lectores tambien pueden convencer a esa amiga piruja que todos tenemos, a su prima, en fin cualquier chica de esta bella ciudad de Guadalajara (o de alguna otra que esté dispuesta a viajar) que esté dispuesta a enseñarle las artes del colchon a este  jovenazo. El hará la selección y posteriormente solicitaremos los datos necesarios para  arreglar el soñado encuentro.

Premios:

La ganadora se llevará….la inocencia de Sheik (que esperaban, no hay más presupuesto, y con eso es más que suficiente, el amor, según palabras del gran Dipu, es lo más importante). estamos discutiendo si prestaremos unas casa o pagaremos un motel, pero creanlo, este concurso es  100 por ciento real.

"Solo quiero un poco de afecto"

Pues bien, hoy es el día que cambiará sus vidas, el comienzo de lo que puede terminar en una relación pasional y llena de videjojuegos, así que, a participar, mi estimadas chaireras¡!.

Ella solo espera el momento para mandar su foto...

Ni una garrocha a logrado que a Yelena se le acelere tanto el corazón como el Desvirgatón 2009...

Esta mujer no puede creer la oportunidad que La Chaira le brinda....

Alô Nação Rubro Negra!!! Bastou o Imperador voltar para o Mengão que ele desandou a fazer gols e voltou a ser convocado para a seleção brasileira.

O tal do Luis Fabiano até faz seus golzinhos, mas não dá para compará-lo com nosso Imperador, não é verdade??? E para coroar sua volta à seleção ele fará três gols hoje em cima da raposa.

O gladiador não vai dar nem para o cheiro, Angelim não vai dar espaço para ele se criar!!! E para terminar com chave de ouro nosso Sheik Emerson fará o quarto gol sacramentando a goleada e confirmando que ficar no Mengão foi a melhor coisa pra ele!!!

Só uma perguntinha que não quer calar: quando será que essa urucubaca de lesões, suspensões etc… vai acabar??? Não aguento mais tantos desfalques!!! Haja elenco!!!

SAUDAÇÕES RUBRO NEGRAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Essa é a atração pastelão que a diretoria do Flamengo fez a torcida presenciar nas últimas 24 horas, entre essa segunda-feira, 22hrs, 17 de agosto, até terça-feira, 18 de agosto, início de noite. A verdade é que tenho um computador para vender por R$ 1600,00. Me ofereceram R$ 600,00. Vou vender? Claro que não! Mesmo se for o melhor para ele. Se essa tese vira moda, de aceitar o que o jogador quer, aí que os clubes brasileiros estão perdidos.

Emerson fica contra a vontade

Ao invés de pagar a multa rescisória vão começar a oferecer contratos em valor menor do que o jogador vale. Suponha: Neymar, multa de R$ 40 milhões. Chega um clube e oferece ao jogador R$ 20 milhões por dois anos, só que querem pagar só R$ 10 milhões para o Santos. Impensável a diretoria falar “A proposta é irrecusável para ele. Temos que deixá-lo ir”. Isso de jeito nenhum, vira bagunça. Essa moda não pode pegar.

O nosso problema é que essa novela está longe de acabar. Aquele que poderia ser o mocinho está com vontade de ir embora e ficar ainda mais milionário. O final dessa história pode ter sido apenas adiada. Ainda podemos ficar sem o Sheik.

Essa hitória de venda e “desvenda” do Emerson (para qual time? Nem isso sabem) é uma vergonha. Retrato fiel do que faz o Flamengo não brigar pelo título do Brasileirão há mais de 15 anos. Uma bagunça. Como deixar um jogador falar que está de saída, sendo que clube não vai vendê-lo?

Tudo é uma bagunça na Gávea. Se o Sheik, apelido que cai como uma luva, for mesmo, essa é mais uma perda técnica sem concerto para Andrade. Felizmente por enquanto ele fica. A matemática do início acontece porque ele tem R$ 16 milhões de multa rescisória e pode sair agora por R$ 6 milhões. Ridículo!

Cifras, cifras e mais cifras. Marcinho saiu ano passado por causa disso e o sonho do título foi junto com ele, Renato Augusto e até mesmo Souza. E se esse ano estivéssemos no mesmo rumo? Pelo visto o desmanche seria o mesmo… Uma palhaçada com a torcida.

Adriano no Benfica

Recebi um link que abre para o site oficial do Benfica. A informação é que o Imeperador está prestes de assinar com o clube português. Mas para acalmar a nação: tente entrar no site oficial do clube luso e achar essa notícia. Ela não está lá. Então pode ser alguma piada de mal gosto! Não sei você, mas eu prefiro ir dormir pensando que sim. Não me perguntem como alguém bolou isso.

SRN

"A bola é minha! Eu que mando nessa parada!"

Postar aqui pode ser algo tão ingrato quanto ser repórter com diploma (?!) trabalhando para meios de comunicação megalomaniacamente maiores do que esse blog de dois toques: Você passa o dia inteiro pensando no que escrever, salva seus trocadilhos infames na mente, usa de pontes para que eles entrem no contexto… Enfim, tudo pronto: abre-se a página, começa a escrever tudo que vem na caixola, e eis que surge a janelinha do Twitterfox anunciando “Flamengo desiste de vender Emerson!”. Aí meu nego, acabou com teu post sobre a venda do Sheik! =P

E eu vou fazer o que agora? Postar sobre minha alegria pelo cara ter ficado no Mengão?

Nada! Deixa ver o que vai rolar, porque essa bola não é minha! =D

Mas fica o registro: BOA DIRETORIA!!! Me deu orgulho depois de… ahm… desde… ahm… enfim, deu orgulho! Vender um cara de multa recisória de 12 milhoes por 5, é coisa de nego que tá jogando pedra em avião tamanho o desespero em estar endividado! (ops…)

Desmontaram meu post, e eu to feliz por isso! haha!

Fui-se!

Jeg vet fremdeles ikke om jeg skal bli sint egentlig… Jeg blir bare oppgitt over sånne mennesker som tror alt er gratis og at de bare kan bruke ting de finner på nettet, for så å selge det. Jeg har jo tross alt brukt noen timer på å lage den tegninga! Hva er poenget egentlig? De MÅ jo vite at det ikke er lovlig å stjele andres bilder for å buke på produktene sine… Foreløbig vet jeg ikke hva de skal gjøre. Men de selger altså musematta med min tegning på for 60 kr-.-  http://cgi.ebay.com.au/The-Legend-Of-Zelda-Ocarina-of-Time-SHEIK-mouse-mat_W0QQitemZ220401526289QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3350f46611&_trksid#ebayphotohosting

Over til noe annet; Jeg har endelig fått ny pc! Gjett om det er hærlig! Den gamle pcn min skal mamma få, gleder meg til å bli kvitt den, for jeg er så utrolig lei den! Photoshop fungerte jo ikke i det hele tatt nesten. Det forklarer også hvorfor jeg ikke har orket å tegne eller noe sånn. Alt går så tregt. Men nå har jeg jo 4GB ram, hadde 1GB før. Så jeg regner med at photoshop går som det suser! Har ikke fått innstalert det ennå da. Fikser det etterhvert.

Er den ikke fin?^^ Den er mye mindre enn den gamle pcn min, men jeg foretrekker det. Mye lettere å frakte med seg overalt:)

Jeg har ikke hatt tid til å skrive noe her i det siste, fordet om det skjer ting hele tida. Men når man er forelska vil man helst bare sitte å stirre hverandre inn i øynene og ikke gjøre noe fornuftig og bare bruke tida godt på hverandre. Særlig nå man vet at man ikke får se hverandre noe særlig dette halve året. Jeg har 6 dager igjen med Kim, og så får jeg ikke se han på en god stund. Det føles helt merkelig. Jeg har litt dårlig samvittighet for at jeg ikke får studert noe særlig japansk om dagene, for det bør jeg virkelig prioritere. Men heldigvis (?) har Kim jobb og skole hele denne uken. Så når jeg ikke leker husmor mens han er borte, prøver jeg å studere. Jeg bør egentlig ikke blogge nå engang:P

På lørdag var vi ute på Samfundet igjen. Like morsomt som alltid. Carina, Lise og Mia var på vors hos meg og Kim. Vi var nødt til å snu sofaen for å kunne ha et sosialt vors her. Ble skikkelig koselig da. Carina er forresten brevvenninna mi fra jeg var 12 elns. Mia er også brevvenninne^^ Morro at man blir så gode venner når man egentlig bare har kommunisert gjennom brev før.

En rema 1000 mann vi fant i oppgangen vår.

Ingen liker tequila, men vi drikker det fordet. Men ikke Mia da, for hun skulle ta bussen en viktig plass neste dag XD

Så lekte vi alle teambrill.

Kim lærer bort gitarkunstene sine. Mens de andre laters som at kameraet ikke er der. Ingen liker å bli tatt bilde av:P

Vennen til Kim, som hadde med seg et eller annet å drikke som smakte helt j***lig!! Aldri smakt noe så fælt før. Noe med mint smak i.

meg so klatrer på sofaen for å hente legg^^

Heldigvis møtte vi noen mennesker som sørget for at vi slapp og stå i kø, og gikk rett inn, gratis. Hærlig hærlig! Det liker vi. Så møtte vi Ernie^^ Det var koselig!

Mesterverk fra Ernie!

Carina ser kul ut, jeg derimot, ser helt latterlig ut!

Hvem nå enn de folka her er, så koser de seg veldi tror jeg.

Carina ble forsåvidt litt bøllete da vi dansa, som endte opp med at en jente med svart kort hår skulle komme å kjefte henne opp. Men da stilte jeg og Kim oss foran Carina så hun gale dama ikke kunne få tak i henne:P Men som da endte opp med at hun istedet kjeftet opp Kim, og babblet noe om fadderbarnet hennes og at hun skulle ha det perfekt i dag osv. Det var en litt høy jente med blondt hår. Det morsomme var at de de først kjefta opp Kim og etterpå, ca 5 min, kommer hun blonde jenta løpende PÅ Kim for å danse med han. Greit, de dansa i 3 minutter, men jeg tror Kim ble litt redd. I mellomtiden lo jeg meg skakk, for det var et morsomt syn XD

Så endte jeg opp med han duden her som absolutt skulle danse sving på kjøttmarkedet. Og jeg liker ikke sving-.- Den eneste jeg danser sving med er Ane.

kosemose^^ Carina sitt hår lukter skikkelig godt. Tror jeg sniffa meg i hjæl på håret hennes.

Ernie og Carina. VI skal spise sesam burger. Besteburgeren som finnes!

Her er de fantastiske gutta som står bak den fantastiske burgeren <3<3

i og med at jeg greide å søle den beste dressingen ever på bakken, fant jeg ut at jeg ikke kunne…….

Gjøre annet enn å spise den likevel!

Jeg fant også ut at jeg skulle bake brød da jeg kom hjem. Og som de fleste skjønner kunne det umulig gå bra. Dette brødet gikk rett i søpla! Never try this at home. For da får du ikke noe brød…

Jaja, så nå bør jeg komme meg i gang med å studere litt her, så jeg fremdeles kan japansk når jeg skal til Japan. Jeg tror det blir svømming, eller blåbærtur i kveld. Det avhenger litt av været, som forsåvidt er jævelig random her i Trondheim! Først regn, så sol, regn, sol. Skjønner ikke noe jeg!

Clube recebe informação de que árabes farão uma oferta pesada para tirar o atacante.

Nem de longe o Maracanã estava repleto de rubro-negros, como no domingo. Mas os que compareceram ao empate por 0 a 0 no Fla-Flu desta quarta-feira, pela Copa Sul-Americana, não deixaram de agradecer a Emerson por (ainda) não ter ido para o Al-Ahli, dos Emirados Árabes.

A proposta de R$ 3,8 milhões foi recusada pelo Flamengo, e a torcida saudou o atacante aos gritos de “O Emerson ficou”.

So, recently, Mansory, after shocking the world by modifying the Rolls Royce Phantom, shocked the world once again, when they took three examples of the Bugatti Veyron and added their own touches.. The Vincerò as it’s called, is being sold at Prestige Cars, they currently have 3 cars available at a measly $2,430,000 or about 1.7M euros. The car has had the entire interior re-upholstered, and much of the body work re-done. The engine cover, hood, rear-end, and scoops are all made of naked carbon-fiber, and the remaining areas, are left as unpainted chrome. While It may not be to everyone’s taste, it’s still a great example of when the world leaves nothing sacred any longer.

Anyway, here are some photos of this.. well, I can’t think of one word to describe it..

Though, after looking at some of the photos, I would figure, for a company that has 3, 1.7M euro cars for sale, and even a Mansory Renovatio in their inventory, they would hire a decent photographer, right?
I mean, look at these and tell me whether you think it’s “professional”. Now, these are taken FROM THEIR SITE..

I can tell they’re trying to show aspects of the car, but, really..? Anyway, I’m done with the rant, back to the car.

So, it has carbon fiber body panels, left naked, naked chrome on the rest, black and silver carbon fiber accents on much of the interior, and the seats, doors, center console, ceiling, and carpets have all been re-upholstered in white with black designs and trim. And, a new set of fully custom wheels, and body design fitted. I’m not sure the car will still go the full 407 km/h but, it should still be one expensive, fast, rare, and over-the-top automobile.

Even from the beginning of the amazing and famous game, Super Smash Bros. Melee, the princess Zelda, and her alter ego, Sheik, became my favorite characters for the game. I simply loved them! Sheik has some fantastic abilities like making your victim the new punching bag, big jumps, powerful kicks and great speed, while Zelda uses her powerful magic, to explote, teleport, and cover everything on her way, and also has powerful physical attacks.These abilities, combined in one single battle, switching between both femme fatales, leads this character to become one of the best from the game. I know not everyone shares this idea with me, but hey! That’s just me writing about it.

I know I haven’t written a lot these month, but I’ve been a little bussy, with some stuff. I promise “The Ryder” will continue having it’s information posted. So for now, I leave all of you with a very entertaining video I’ve foun on YouTube. It’s a fight, and it’s pretty long, soo I hope you don’t mind watching it. Amazing the player using Sheik, and I hope some of us can learn a few new techniques from this little performance. So, ’til our next post… see ya!
