21 Oct soccer in plastic bubbles

I woke happy this morning and logged onto my favourite newspaper sites to find reports of the glam fest that is the Golden Globes who doesn’t love movies, the awards ceremonies,soccer stl, the glitz, the gossip and the ‘who wore what’ excitement of looking at the stars? and got happier when I spotted the LA Times and Guardian’s galleries and red carpet video interviews.

What I found really interesting about how Oprah got into talk show hosting was that the production team on the evening news she was co anchoring told her that she’d have to straighten her hair and have surgery on her nose as she looked ‘too black’ which wouldn go down well with a white audience. She absolutely refused to do that and to this day has not had surgery to enhance or change her looks. Because she would not change her looks, she got transferred to the daytime talk show arena, and after boosting a third rated local Chicago talk show to first place she launched her own production company and became internationally syndicated.

I agree, Malinga should have rubbed his so called “freakery” on Pakistan. Can you imagine what would have been the result, if he was allowed to play against Pakistan? BTW he didn’t have any back injury as such, according to the coach he just had a slight strain couple of weeks ago while picking a cricket ball and nothing to do with his recovered knee injury. He was fit to play that day although not selected (according to Malinga’s own comments in Sinhala at the award ceremony). I think he missed first two games due to unfortunate selection “ambiguity” prevailing in SL,soccer suit,large inflatable soccer ball, rather than anything else. Mr. Samiuddin when we consider the height, I think Waqar is not much taller than Lasith and height maybe advantageous if depending on bounce. Probably Malinga’s height suits his type of bowling. I think it is better to think of individual effectiveness rather than compassion.

The richness of the embroidery and quality of the leather used revealed how wealthy the owner was. Was this the start of designer handbags??In late 18th Century France, the ladies handbag proper began under the name of “reticule”. Instead of wearing a pouch around the waist or hidden under their numerous skirts,soccer in atlanta, fashionable ladies started to carry their handbags so as not to ruin the look of their new style empire line clothes. Early reticules were delicate small drawstring purses usually made of net with beading or brocade. The name derives from the word “ridicule” as the earlier bags were ridiculed as strange.
