How Can Women Be Skinny With Boobs
Once we were brothers
Hello
blog. Hello
I'm glad you still follow here, although you do not do any of the case and I think you only read a former chief of Laura (a greeting).
But look, it appears that the other day I was watching a sad film at once beautiful and I feel like commenting.
Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac were two basketball players from the former Yugoslavia selection. Both topped the best generation of European history, formed by the very Petrovic, Divac, Toni Kukoc, Dino Radja, Zarko Paspalj, Velimir Perasovic and so many names that will ring basketball fan.
And through my old fan who spotted them in 8-10 years time you will remember the childhood heroes, the dream to be like your heroes with a basket hanging in the living room and a foam ball. In the past, where everything was simpler, happier, and where you could spend the afternoon at the playground imagining that maybe some day you could be like them. This detail is important to understand this article.
Divac and Petrovic, along with the rest of his companions, were a unique generation, which was silver with a team full of callow teenagers in the Seoul Olympics in 1988 after losing to the USSR and gold in the 1989 European Championships and global 1990. That team not only won, but was destroying his rivals and had fun (and it was fun for the fans) with a cheerful and colorful game.
After winning the 1990 World Cup, Petrovic and Divac were to sign with NBA teams in the U.S. and passed from friend to being brothers. But the decomposition Yugoslavia was to bring about the end of that friendship. At the end of the Petrovic (and Kukoc and Radja) Divac was Croatian and Serbian. The tension, pressure, the circumstances surrounding a war, made the Croats gradually stop unrelated to Divac. A Vlado, especially hurt to lose the friendship with Petrovic.
The war ended and, like the battered countries were rearranging their structure and vital tissues, former team-mates were remaking bonds. Always assumed that they would reconcile, but .... but one was missing. In summer 1993
Drazen Petrovic, reached the NBA star status he craved, died in a traffic accident in Germany. Once
Brothers (Once we were brothers) is a documentary that tells this story, interspersed with the cruelty of the total failure of human being that is war.

Hot Plate And Stirrer
Deja Vu (Tragic)
today's story is nothing funny, in fact it is almost a copy of a terrible misfortune today.
On Monday December 1st 1980 (and I remember well that it was a Monday) a 7 year old boy climbed onto a roof of about 7 meters and due to neglect of old age ended up stepping on the skylight that allowed the entry of light to the patio of a (and in that year) old house. The weight was too much and ended glass yielding.
The fall caused a few injuries, "mild" in the arms and (what if it was extremely serious and dangerous) a cut of about 11 cm is one arm. This caused a loss of blood that would have been fatal if his mother would not have been as incredibly fast to a hospital for urgent surgery necessary. This cut resulted in a total loss of movement in 2 fingers of his left hand.
Today, almost 30 years later, that child is telling the story through this medium. Two operations, microsurgery in the left arm, several months of rehabilitation achieved plaster and leave no aftermath of that morning in the summer of 1980 (more than a scar about 70 stitches)
This October 4 when I saw a news practically identical with the unfortunate difference that the child did not survive, many memories came to my mind. ( http://www.montevideo.com.uy/notnoticias_121588_1.html )
now with a young daughter, my adventures of the young me to be strict sometimes, annoying, almost imbancable (arguably) with the issue of security and precautions.
Today more than ever I prefer that my daughter is angry with me, but personally I do not have to suffer the pain of knowing that by not having this or that precaution might suffer a serious or fatal accident.
I am an example of more care than you have, children also find ways to do things that end up being extremely dangerous. But I will not work with my own inaction.
write this for two reasons, first as a form of catharsis to this fact which undoubtedly affected me and second to understand (and someone who was a direct protagonist) none too careful, or networks to put bars on the windows of the buildings is not being paranoid, it is an obligation we have as parents. Which cover the outlets and explain to our children with clear and specific concepts of the dangers that surround us, is the only way that our children can live healthy and happy.
clarify that I have nothing to criticize my mother, the accident occurred in a context where all the blame was mine, and in fact many times when my mother makes me mad about something, my brain travels and imagine what must have felt seeing her son lying in a pool of blood surrounded by glass all around, in that moment my anger at some silly low automatically.
I can only thank her for her courage and fortitude to avoid being frozen and saving my life.
repeat, no precaution is great and if our children are angry with us for some crazy limit ... does not matter, time will one day when writing on the internet, have the best memories of those limitations.

Can You Change A Pellet Stove
The reverse is one of the biggest problems when we started to drive, mainly by the movement of the steering wheel to direct investment our car.
First of all we check the position of the lever to move our car in reverse, depending on the manufacturer and model are different positions, each carrying a device that prevents accidental is placed in front while driving.
For example in the Volkswagen press down the lever and then moves to the left and above, some previous models is down, left, back. In some Asian models is completely reverse to the right and below, Chevrolet is a device to pull the lever and then move to the left and above. In any case consult your manual to avoid problems. It
noted that the reverse should be used only briefly while maneuvering retake control of the front to continue traveling, for example, suppose that we have come accidentally to a dead end, in this case we first try to go full circle from the front the alley instead of going completely in reverse, of course, whenever conditions permit.
Once we placed the lever in reverse position must be careful to check all mirrors and turn your head if necessary to get a complete picture and avoid accidents, in situations where there are more drivers must activate circulating our emergency lights while we make our move. We must also note that if our car moving in reverse change the position of the wheel of our car, that is, when we go from front wheel drive front axle and rear axle pulling we, in the case we reverse pushing the rear axle of the car with the force exerted on the front axle.
This is important consideration, because if we shake and accelerated in reverse too can easily lose control because the car has inverted traction, in addition to the address in this case is on the axis with which we pushed and car moves in the opposite direction to where you turn the wheel.
best way to avoid problems is to imagine the line you want to do with the car, identify all possible obstacles (pedestrians, sidewalks, trees, trash cans, etc), rotate the tires and move the car very slowly to complete the maneuver .
