Brasília e o Futsal
Após 10 dias de jogos emocionantesm falta pouco pra descobrirmos o campeão

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="512" caption="Foto: Foto-Net"][/caption]

Para quem é apaixonado pelo esporte de um modo geral em Brasília, está tendo uma oportunidade inédita em poder prestigiar a 6ª edição da Copa do Mundo de Futsal, organizado pela Federação Internacional de Futebol (FIFA). A maior de todas elas, por ser realizada em um país propício e por contar o número recorde de 20 delegações.

O virtual favorito é sem dúvida o anfitrião Brasil, que conta com o talento do melhor jogador de futsal no mundo, Falcão. É uma equipe muito unida que recentemente foi medalha de ouro nos Jogos Pan-Americanos no Rio de Janeiro. Entretanto, adversários mais fortes ainda estão por vir e trarão testes de fogo para a seleção brasileira. Por exemplo, quem pode complicar o Brasil é a Espanha, pois é a atual Bi-Campeã da Copa e já eliminou o Brasil nessas duas últimas. Mas qualquer uma outra seleção também pode embolar o caminho mesmo com uma equipe tão favorita, por isso o risco é bem menor.

É um marco na vida de Brasília, basta passar pelo Eixo Monumental de Brasília e sentir o clima proporcionado por esses jogos. Mais uma chance para usar o esporte e juntar povos de culturas árabes, com a cultura latina e outras que pouco se sabe sobre elas. Além disso, é evento de importância onde a FIFA pode conhecer o desempenho brasileiro nessa organização e sentir quem 2014 em evento ainda bem maior, o Brasil possa realizar com excelência.

A competição entra hoje (Sábado) na segunda-fase onde um grupo no Rio de Janeiro e um em Brasília define as quatros seleções que disputarão as semifinais e finais no Maracanãzinho. Brasil, Irã, Ucrânia e Itália jogam no Rio e formam o grupo E. Paraguai, Argentina, Espanha e Rússia jogam em Brasília e formam o Grupo F.

Lotação Esgotada
10h30 e 12h30 são os horários diários do início das partidas no Ginásio Nilson Nelson (DF) e no Maracanãzinho (RJ) um horário desconfortável para uma boa parcela do público que deseja assistir, muitos trabalham esse horário, e os lugares dos ginásios, em tese, solitários. Para não deixar esses ginásios vazios, o Governo Federal lançou uma forma de preencher, ao criar o programa Lotação Esgotada, onde leva crianças e adolescentes de escolas para assistirem aos jogos sem nenhum custo. Lá estes meninos e meninas recebem uma camisa do evento, lanche gratuito, e saem sempre satisfeitos por matarem uma aula e poder ver uma partida de futsal internacional.

Eles ocupam de 40% a 70% dependendo do jogo. Sempre bastantes animados, já soltaram gritos de torcida torcendo pela Argentina em pleno solo brasileiro. Dá de se notar que as crianças estavam na torcida para ver gols. Esse programa se torna um contato muito importante entre a criança e o esporte profissional.

Argentina x Ucrânia

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="384" caption="Foto: Foto-Net"][/caption]

Dos jogos realizados em Brasília nesse mundial, nada tão emocionante quanto o bom jogo entre Argentina e Ucrânia que terminou em um merecido empate de 2x2. Foi o melhor em termos de uma partida equilibrada.

Acostumados a ver as goleadas do Brasil e o bom desempenho da equipe, o Ginásio Nilson Nelson no último domingo sentiu o que foi um jogo entre duas fortes equipes, um verdadeiro combate em quadra.

Em meio a um equilibrado confronto tático o primeiro tempo entre essas seleções terminou em 0x0, mas pela partida que se jogava, o 0x0 era muito bem visto. Por estar sendo um jogo agradável já até prevíamos instantes ainda mais emocionantes nos últimos vinte minutos. E não foi diferente.

Argentina mantendo-se na ofensiva em busca do primeiro gol, chega ao alvo com Leandro Planas aos 11 do segundo tempo, quando acertou um chute no ângulo da entrada da área. Com um a mais no placar a Argentina se acomodou no jogo de tal forma que deu espaço a surpreendente e emocionante virada ucraniana.

Com erro da ala argentino, Dmytro Ivanov ganha de presente a oportunidade de empatar a partida e ele aproveitou. Depois disso o golero-linha que havia feito uma bela partida nos jogos anteriores ao ajudar os companheiros e desequilibrar a tática adversária, foi surpreendido com o golaço de cobertura de Sergiy Cheporniuk. Enquanto ele deixara o gol vazio, Cheporniuk chutou de longe sem tempo para Santiago Elias voltar ao campo de defesa e evitar que a bola entrasse. Neste instante o ginásio foi a loucura e comemorava o gol da virada que traria a primeira derrota aos argentinos,

Foi quando entrou em campo um fator inusitado que os argentinos têm, e nada foi tão surpreendente e emocionante como isso no Ginásio Nilson Nelson durante esses jogos. A raça e a capacidade de se reabilitar em tão pouco tempo fez com que o goleiro Santiago Elias passasse de vilão a herói. Ele se redimiu quando mais uma vez deu a iniciativa de puxar o time para mais um ataque. Em sua atitude heróica driblou dois adversários e entregou a bola para Giustozzi aproveitar os últimos minutos e empatar a partida. Vimos todo amor que um argentino incorpora ao defender aquela camisa seja qual for o esporte. Eles Trouxeram o empate quando o jogo já parecia definido para os jogadores da Ucrânia. E até o torcedor brasileiro reconheceu e aplaudiu o lindo jogo que viu e as reações de Ucrânia e Argentina que fizeram uma partida única em termos de qualidade.

Também logo entrou a marra e a catimba argentina em campo. Brasília por pouco não chega a ver uma briga na quadra, mas a discussão foi mesmo quente no fim do jogo, os ânimos estavam abalados. Aonde tem argentino é sempre assim, porém também fica sempre um grande jogo pra se recordar.

Ilhas Salomão
Aonde fica esse país? Que país é esse?

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="512" caption="Foto: Action Images"][/caption]

Com certeza você deve ter levado um tempinho para responder essas perguntas, ou não respondido. Acertou quem disse Oceania; mas não importa de onde vieram esses jogadores, o que basta saber é que é um povo muito humilde carismático e nada tira a felicidade deles.

Em sua primeira participação na Copa do Mundo de Futsal, Ilhas Salomão marcou seis gols em quatro jogos, porém não somou nenhum ponto, perdeu pra Cuba, na estréia por 10x2, para o Brasil por 21x0, depois para o Japão por 7x2 e fechou sua participação com chave de ouro, perdendo por 31x2 para Rússia. Entrou para história como a maior goleada de todas as edições dos jogos.

Ainda assim, o sorriso estampado no rosto desses jogadores é garantido, por vários motivos. Representar a nação em um outro país é um deles, mas jogar na mesma quadra que o Falcão talvez seja o maior deles, na derrota por 21x0 ante o Brasil, eles nos ensinaram a humildade, com atitudes tal que merecem ganhar o Fair Play, embora não entenderem praticamente nada ainda do futsal.

Oceania Cruise Line History

Mike — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:02:24 +0000

Oceania Cruises is a United States-based shipping company that operates three luxury cruise ships on world-wide itenaries. It is currently the world’s largest upscale cruise line, offering good-quality food and itineraries at a cheap price when compared to other upscale cruise lines. Since April 2007, Oceania Cruises is owned by Apollo Management.

Oceania Cruise Line History

Oceania Cruises was founded in 2002 by luxury cruise industry veterans Joe Watters and Frank Del Rio, the latter being the former vice president of Renaissance Cruises. The founding management team included industry veterans Bob Binder, Robin Lindsay, James Rodriguez, and Howard Sherman. The company chartered the former Renaissance Cruises ship R Two from Cruiseinvest and renamed her Insignia in October 2002. In April 2003 the Insignia was chartered to the french travel agency TRM for three months, during which Oceania Cruises operated no vessels. On 15 June 2003 Oceania Cruises re-commenced service with two ships: the Insignia was renamed Regatta[5] and a new ship (R One, a sister ship of the Insignia/Regatta, also chartered from Cruiseinvest) entered service as the new Insignia.

In November 2005 a third R-class ship entered service for Oceania Cruises when the company chartered the R Five from Cruiseinvest and renamed her Nautica. At the naming ceremony of the Nautica, Frank del Rio announced the plan of adding a fourth ship, Marina, to the Oceania Cruises fleet in July 2007. This however did not come to pass.

In February 2007 the majority of Oceania Cruises' stock were sold to the New York-based Apollo Management. The following month Oceania made a memorandum agreement with the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy to construct two new 1,260-passenger ships. The contract was finalised in June 2007, with delivery dates for the new Oceania Class ships set for September 2010 and July 2011. The contract also includes an option for a third vessel of the same type that could be delivered in May 2012.

From Technorati's article, State of the blogosphere 2008: Who are the bloggers?, a pie chart:

That's Geographic distribution of bloggers, by continent, yes, and if you can't see the image, here are the figures:

North America: 48%
Europe: 27%
Asia: 13%
South America: 7%
Africa: less than 1%
Australia: 3%

I looked at Australia sitting there, singled out, the only country named, and felt indignant about the other countries in Oceania (the big bit west of South America). The chart doesn't give those countries anywhere to fit. If they have any bloggers, and I'm guessing THEY DO, why not include them?

And then I got upset about the Australia itself:

ME: Why single us out like that, the only country in a list of continents? It looks stupid! Australia is a country, you idiots! It's not a continent! ...Actually, it is a continent. You're right. So... Okay, then.

And that's how I realised for the first time just how strange it is that one country - my country - takes up a whole continent for itself.

Writing it all down so I don't forget

Sarie J. — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:05:40 +0000

This past weekend I headed to my brother's house via their little silver Audi. I had a great time, I played Rock Band, ate awesome Indian food and had a brief lesson in geography, who knew the content of Australia was also called Oceania, in school I guess, I missed that somehow. Even my trip on the bus back home was plentiful, a Buddhist monk, a flying carrot and nature painting the trees their spectacular fall shades.
Mucho gracias to my brother and his wife for indulging me with their Audi and for removing it off my life to do list, more commonly known as a bucket list. Thank you as well for the re-introduction to Indian fare, mmm... Samosas.
Thanks to my twelve year old nephew for the atlas refresher and for allowing me to rock out.
But the biggest thanks goes to my four year old niece who reminded me that life must be looked at by the analogy of, this glass is half full.
I had brought some Fimo clay for us to create with and my niece decided to make a pig. When she was finished her pig I put it in the oven to cook. When it came out I noticed there were brown spots on it because it had been burnt. "Oh dear!", I thought, when I saw it, preparing that it would make my niece upset.
But instead my niece said, “Oh look my pig has some mud on it.” while holding it in her small hands. “Brilliant” I exclaimed rather loudly, “You are brilliant!”
For many children their creation would have been ruined but not my niece.
Her imagination in full gear, a full glass moment, accepting that there are some things we cannot change but adapting and accepting will help us see things for the better.

Happiness,
Sarie J.

Sister Mary Rose - Childhood Lost

[caption id="attachment_2058" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Santa Barbara School, Guam"][/caption]

Sixth Grade at Santa Barbara School was momentous to me for several reasons. There were no longer Seventh and Eigth Grades at the Catholic school so it was my final year there. My previous year in the 5th grade was very difficult because we were in a class of over 50 kids due to a shortage of teachers. We had also gained a reputation of being a very difficult group.

I was also one of the kids marked to be bullied and teased that year relentlessly. I was called everything from "Sissy" to " goody goody." My home life was not good at the time. My parents were having a difficult time. So between the fighting at home and trying to survive at school, I was just trying to cope each day. My only refuge were my friends, books and prayer. That was a pretty tall order for a kid.

So when sixth grade started, our class size was much smaller. We also had a new teacher , Sister Mary Rose. The teasing subsided for the most part and Sister Mary Rose was our teacher. She was in control of the class so classroom decorum was kept well.

My friends and I were close. My parents were still having difficulties but I found more solace at school and in my studies. One of my good friends was named Ronald. He excelled academically. He and I were competitive in this area and I think we motivated eachother. He left mid year for the states. That was a loss for our little group of friends. We missed him.

I continued to worked hard on my studies and found that it was in my academics that my self esteem really began to rise. It was the one thing where I was finding the affirmation I needed. It was my safe place.

At the end of the year, awards were being given out for different areas of achievement. The final award for Highest Academic Achievement was announced by Sister Mary Rose. She called my name. I walked up to the head of the class. My heart was thumping with excitement. I could not believe it. She handed me the award. As she shook my hand, she pulled me close to her and then whispered into my ear, "If Ronald were here, he would have gotten this award."

I walked back to my desk in shock. I could not even look back up at Sister Mary Rose. I was only 11 years old. As my buddies patted me on my back and congratulated me, I remember feeling so empty. I kept wondering, "Why did my teacher, this nun, say such a cruel thing to me to deflate me?" When I returned home, I went to my room and sobbed for hours. I was a latch key kid so mom and dad were at work. It was hard being alone especially on that day.

This nun 's statement seem to justify all the teasing that I got from the boys, all the angry words that came out of a drunken father's mouth towards me. What was it about me that people would want to belittle me? I remember looking up, as an 11 year old boy, and asking God why was he letting these things happen to me? I felt like a target with a big bulls eye on it. I was free game.

I showed my mom and dad the award later that evening. They were proud. I never told them what Sister Mary Rose said to me. I don't know why. I guess I did not want it to ruin the moment. I learned later in my life that I just had bottled too many things inside of me. Thank goodness for therapy!

Somehow, I did work past my Sister Mary Rose moment, and actually made it an impetus to strive more to do productive things. Believe me it could have gone the other way. However at the same time, I also left behind that childhood trust in adults and the automatic respect in teachers. Like those bullies that harassed me, there are adult individuals who teach, mentor and watch over our children who do far worse damage to our youung people's fragile egos and self image. I hope, as parents and guardians of our sons and daughters, we continue to remain vigilant and make sure we weed these individuals out.

By the way, Sister Mary Rose, you were wrong, I deserved the award, no one else did.

NZ, not just mountains and rings - coastal and country roads

Cate — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 06:53:45 +0000

When it comes to tourism, New Zealand has mastered the art of service to the big sights around its country. You only need to hop on a bus and you're swept off, in total comfort and luxury, to wherever you want to go on the main tourist routes: Rotorua - geysers and boiling mud; Waitomo - glow worms; Queenstown - bungy jumping and adrenalin screams; the list goes on.

These sights come with a guarantee that you will see breathtaking beauty on a large scale. But there is no guarantee that you will be alone. Depending on the season you travel, joining you will be hordes of other like minded people hustling to find a unique spot for pictures, racing to get ahead of you so they can spend a few seconds alone before the crowds arrive.

But this doesn't have to be the only way to enjoy New Zealand's sights. Take some time out from your bus, train or flight schedule, and hire a car for a day or two. Then truly begin to discover New Zealand - 100% Pure. Its small farming communities and fishing villages, coastlines and rolling hills and the warmth of rural New Zealanders. Not to forget the home style cafes, craft shops, and laid back pubs where the social event of the calendar is watching a rugby match live on cable.

For history buffs the country roads are a great place to discover New Zealand's colonial past.

And for lighthouse fans - try some of New Zealand's numerous coastal roads.

Going somewhere off the main tourist route is rewarding when you find small treasures like lighthouses, uninhabited coastlines, and penguins....crossing.

[caption id="attachment_374" align="alignnone" width="431" caption="by Joe May"][/caption]

Well...kind of. It is SUCH an experience to have small blue penguins crossing in front of you when out on an evening stroll in a rural coastal town. Being from New Zealand I have taken these experiences for granted in the past, but now I've learnt to appreciate them whenever I go back home.
