Jagielka not going to Arsenal?

David Moyes has already turned down two bids for the 28 year-old Jagielka  as being below Everton’s valuation.

Mirror is now exclusively reporting that the England international has no interest in leaving Everton, even if the two clubs agree a transfer fee.
As rumour  that he has told his friends that he doesn’t want to move from Merseyside, not even for the chance to play in the Champions League, is quite happy to end his career at Goodison Park.

This summer is like this

According to Wenger ,

"We are at the top level and therefore need exceptional quality to strengthen our side.
I can understand that people say, 'You have money, just go out and buy'. But it's not only that. Yes, we have the money we need but we want to find the quality we need.

His responsibility is first of all not to lose players and then to add and make us stronger. Let's hope we can bring in one or two more additions of top quality.

According to the Mail on Sunday, the Liverpool have made on offer of £22 million for the Blackburn defender, despite the 19-year-old seemingly destined to end up at Old Trafford.

United offered £16.5 million for Jones last week, which triggered a release clause in his contract and allowed the Barclays Premier League leaders to enter into discussions with the centre-back.

The 17 year-old, according to the Mirror, will be announced as an Arsenal player as soon as the transfer window officially opens on the 1st of July, and his father, Mark Chamberlain, has finally got his wish to see his son move to the Gunners.

Why Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ? Where is the experience player Wenger talking about ?

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain deals

Chamberlain’s father has indicated that he wants his son to continue his education with Arsenal, but it is being reported by the Metro that Man Utd are now in talks with Southampton after they became dissatisfied with the terms being offered by Arsenal.

The report says that Arsenal are trying to offer most of the transfer fee based on appearances and add-ons in the future, whereas Ferguson is prepared to pay much more in cash ..... Clearly Ferguson want to grab the talented player eagerly....

Solar storm threat

The strongest solar storm on record is called the "Carrington Event", which is named after Richard Carrington who viewed and reported on the solar flare of September 1st. It occurred in late August and early September of 1859. From August 28th through September 4th, aurorae of unusual brilliance were observed throughout the globe.
If a Carrington-type flare hit today, then a large fraction of the satellites in orbit may be permanently damaged, leading to a communications blackout and potential chaos. However, this events seldom happen. when it happen, many people will suffer.

Gervinho news....

According to a report from Mirror Football. 
Per Gervinho's statements:

"My mind is made up, I am leaving.
"I will soon meet the club and let them know, but they understand my feelings that I want to prove myself in a top league in Europe.
"My agents are moving things as I want, people know where my future lies, it is in England."

It is in England and Gervinho want to compete in  European League. So, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle and Tottenham are all possible clubs. However, only Arsenal qualify for Champion League next season. So, Arsenal is leading the race in signing Gervinho.

Odemwingie likes Arsenal move

Player’s agent, Dave Omigie has declared that his client would be interested in the move to Arsenal.

However, West Brom club manager Roy Hodgson is desperate to keep his scoring machine for next season. Plus , the bid by Arsenal reeported only 4 million pounds. This seems unjustified for such prolific sriker. Wenger should pay more for such quality player.

Arsenal interest in Spartak Moscow striker Welliton?

The 24-year-old striker  managed to net 21 goals in 29 appearances in all competitions for the Russian outfit last season. He is young, fast, technical, an ideal artist who acts along the entire front line of attack,
His excellent form has proven in  2010 Russian Premier League season as he again became the top scorer, this time with 19 goals.

Fed plans ending of QE2 ?

Stopping quantitative easing (QE) risks plunging the economy and financial system into another period of turbulent decline. The pressure is building on Fed to end QE2 because the inflation is ravaging. With oil price around 99 us dollars,  the Fed has little room to continue money printing. The deadlineof QE2 is around the corner. However, the presidential election is in next year, Obama will not let economic to collapse, that means the end of his presidential term. So, a possible scenario is a panic in market will happen to be used as an excuse to extend the Quantitative Easing .

During the 2010-11 campaign, Young has scored 8 goals in 34 appearances for Villa in all competitions. Young has refused to engage in any contract negotiations with Aston Villa until the end of the current season. He may move to another club .

Young's contract will have one year left at the end of the 2010-11 season. Aston may sell Young due to this reason.

Star striker, Gervinho coming?

It is increasingly likely  that Lille will let go of their star striker, Gervinho.Arsenal is the most probably destination of this striker because Gervinho like to play for a club in the Champions League .

The 24-year-old made a big impact last season scoring 15 goals in 40 matches to help Lille win their third Ligue 1, 57 years after winning their last title.
The arrival of Gervinho means  a powerful cannon is being deployed at Arsenal. And Arsenal scoring goals sure to increase  significant ly.
Ivory Coast booked their place at next year's African Nations Cup with a 6-2 thrashing of Benin, their fourth win in four games.Drogba then netted a spot-kick of his own, Gervinho also grabbed a second and by the time the Ivorians added a late sixth, their place in Gabon and Equitorial Guinea was assured

Arsenal and Bojan Krkic

Mail reckons that Wenger is aiming to bring in an established star from the Nou Camp this summer.It seems he wants to bring in the 20 year-old Bojan Krkic.
 The arrival of David Villa last season and the expected signing of Giuseppe Rossi means that Bojan has been left on the sidelines again. Bojan may seek his career at another club. He may go to Arsenal, a team with style of play are like Barca.
But,he dismisses rumour of Barca exits.I can only laugh about these rumours. This is football, things can change very fast. Let's be clear about it though: I will not be used as change to facilitate someone else's transfer," Bojan said to El Mundo Deportivo.

Arsenal are being offered Thiago Alcantara as part of transfer deals

Champions League winners Barca are ready to let the brilliant youngster go to the Gunners as a £7 million makeweight in their latest bid to tempt Fabregas back to his old club.

 

Alcantara is due to play for Spain's under-20s at the World Cup and looked better than any English talent when he starred against the young Lions in last summer's European Championships at that age group.

 

On 17 May 2009, aged 18 years old, Thiago made his debut with the first team when he came on as a substitute for Eiður Guðjohnsen in the 63rd minute vs RCD Mallorca.] On 20 February 2010 after coming on as a subtitute for Yaya Touré in the 76th minute, Thiago scored his first goal for Barcelona's first team in a 4–0 win against Racing Santander at the Camp Nou.

Arsenal Samir Nasri

Samir Nasri hints he may move to another club.Nasri is believed to demand wage £110,000-a-week the same figure with the captain -Cesc.

Nasri told TF1: "I don’t know if I will sign a new contract. Anyway, the discussions are ongoing.

Of the link with Sir Alex Ferguson's side, Nasri added: "Do I want to go to Man United? Initially, we should see if it's real and if it is concrete."

Arsenal Jack Wilshere-man of the Match

Super Jack won the penalty to give England a confidence boost and had a  good performance in the second half, the point of highlight is a 30 yard run past two players prior to a great through ball which Darren Bent wasted.

Leandro Damiao

 Leandro Damiao skill is special , especially inside the box. He stands at a bit over 6'1" which assists him greatly aerially, he is a real presence inside the box with his predator instincts and clinical finishes, both with his head and feet. He is mobile, quick and skillful with the ball as well. That is a player that Arsenal needed because the Gunner always miss a lot of apportunity. They need a good finisher like  Leandro Damiao.

He is nicknamed "Damigol" by his fans at Internacional and has had a superb season so far with Internacional, scoring 22 goals in 24 matches. that player really capable of helping any club to become  very competitive.

Both Arsenal and Tottenham, are willing to pay as much as 10 million pounds to sign this rising star. He has scored 29 goals in 53 appearances so far with Internacional.

Arsene Wenger's shock move for Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe

Defoe had just  just nine goals in 30 appearances last term. This is a gamble because
28-year-old England international, Defoe, has injury problems and loss of form .

Liverpool Bid £15m For Blackburn defender Phil Jones

The Daily Mail suggests  that Liverpool will make a formal offer of £15million for the Blackburn defender.
Arsene Wenger was interested in Jones but has since turned his attention to team mate Chris Samba.  Until now there is little development in getting service of quality defender.

Kevin Gameiro not coming to Arsenal ?

Gameiro said: “I see where my future is and it will be decided in one or two weeks. I have my preference, but we shall see.
“I love Spain and want to go to a team where I will play all year, not to be alternated. It is me who must make the correct choice – no-one else.”
He is a "a fast, energetic player with good dribbling abilities", which compensates for his relatively light frame.
He got 23 goals and 3 assist in 2012-2011 season.

E. coli potential Infection Source

Cattle are the main reservoir for E. coli, the family of bowel-dwelling bacteria from which the new bug comes, said Rowland Cobbold, a veterinary public health researcher at the University of Queensland in Australia.Outbreaks of bloody diarrhea caused by E. coli have usually been linked to contaminated meat, Cobbold said.
Manure from cattle infected with the microbe can spread in the air and water, potentially contaminating vegetable fields, said James Paton, head of the bacterial pathogenesis laboratory at the University of Adelaide in Australia.
“If you’re trying to grow hydroponic lettuces half a kilometer down the road from a cattle feedlot, even if you don’t have any cattle on your property, there’s the potential for manure dust to blow down on your farm,” Paton said. “It’s easy.
Scientists believe the E. coli somehow ended up contaminating lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers, and are advising people in northern Germany to avoid these foods.

Tauxe said the toxin can damage the intestine, causing diarrhea, or it can spread into the bloodstream, damaging the kidneys or even the brain

Liverpool to get Jordan Henderson ?

The only thing stopping Henderson becoming Kenny Dalglish's first summer signing is his fee and Liverpool is confident of compromise with Sunderland after increasing its offer to £15million - just £3m short of the asking price.

Fifa also commented that Henderson is "Composed, athletic and powerful, Henderson described as “the best young British footballer there is” by his Sunderland manager.

Henderson helped Sunderland to an unbeaten run of games against big clubs such as Manchester City Manchester United and Chelsea all of whom have since reportedly registered an interest in the player.

Arsenal to miss Scott Parker

Harry Redknapp and Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on the signing of West Ham United midfielder Scott Parker according to the rumour.
Harry Redknapp has stated his desire to bring in veteran leadership to the club and with Parker. Look like Arsenal will miss another experience player one more time.

Tottenham wants Leandro Damiao

Redknapp tabled a £10.5 million bid for Internacional's Brazil sensation Leandro Damiao.
Inter's club presidentGiovanni Luigi admitted: "It was the first concrete offer we've had. I said I didn't want to sell now. I warned that he'll only leave at the end of the year and for more money."
Look like all the famous clubs are interested in this player. With Arsenal and Barca also interested in this player. Lets see who will get the service of this Brazil sensation .

Manchester and Arsenal battles for Ricky Alvarez

Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger both eyeing up and observing the Argentine midfielder Ricky Alvarez. Arsenal. Manchester United scouts, have both been out to Argentina to observe their potential target. Who will win at the end? As we know Arsene Wenger will take time bargaining whereas the Alex Ferguson acts often acts quickly to grab quality players.
During the first semester of 2011, Álvarez got significant fan and media praise for his  games. He is able to play all the positions of the midfield.He scored 4 goals in 36 matches.

Arsenal shock £4 million move

West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie is the person linked with the rumour.
This Nigerian star has scored an impressive 15 goals last season. Not bad with alleged £4m transfer fees.

Belgian starlet Eden Hazard not going anywhere?

Lille's general director Frederic Paquet has ruled Arsenal and every other club out of the race to sign their Belgian starlet Eden Hazard. He said that it is 99.9 per cent sure that he will not leave because they want to keep him."

Higuain and Benzema

Jose Mourinho has dismissed reports that Higuain  and Karim Benzema could leave Real Madrid this summer. Look like Arsenal hope of landing the two striker is being disappointed.
In an interview with Cadena SER on Thursday night, though, Mourinho confirmed the duo were "non-transferable".

Halo with ufo

 Unique Halo with ufo . Strange Halo happened for 30 minutes and ufo flying around for a few minutes after the Halo appeared for 10 minutes.

Arsenal Cesc Fabregas

Madrid allegedly spoke with Arsenal officials  to star negotiating for Cesc Fabregas. They need Cesc's service to fight the dominance of Barca. The news also suggest that the bidding war starts at bidding at £50million . This money is enough to buy Hazard (£16 - 20 million  ) , Leandro Damiao (10 million pounds) ,Gerviho (12million pounds). The already available transfer fees will be used to strengthen the defence of Arsenal (40millions pounds). Arsenal will be champions if the above transactions happens. 

Arsenal to fight for Gonzalo Higuain ?

News . Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City all linked with a move for the Gonzalo Higuain .The 23-year-old striker scoring 10 goals in 17 games in La Liga last season. What a impressive player.He is £15 million-rated star. This transfer seems possible bacause the striker is young and the price is reasonable for this scoring machine, a typical Arsene Wenger appetite.
However, he is happy playing for Real and will remain in the Primera Division beyond the summer, says the striker’s father. That means the transfer news is still a rumour.

Arsenal and Scott Parker

PAUL MERSON reckons Arsenal should make Scott Parker their No1 transfer target this summer.

 

He also speak about quality players like Christopher Samba, a Gary Cahill, a Roger Johnson or a Scott Dann. He say Arsenal need player Arsenal need to buy players who are going to perform now to end their trophy drought.

Solar storm and threat

Solar Flare Would Rupture Earth's "Cyber Cocoon"
To begin with, the University of Colorado's Baker said, electrical disturbances as strong as those that took down telegraph machines—"the Internet of the era"—would be far more disruptive.
In addition, Baker said, satellite communications—also essential to many daily activities—would be at risk from solar storms.
But the big fear is what might happen to the electrical grid, since power surges caused by solar particles could blow out giant transformers. Such transformers can take a long time to replace, especially if hundreds are destroyed at once. No electric for a long time? One day is enough.
Bogdan said, the most damaging emissions from big storms travel slowly enough to be detected by sun-watching satellites well before the particles strike Earth. "That gives us [about] 20 hours to determine what actions we need to take," Viereck said.

Arsenal wants Axel Witsel?

Axel Witsel  defensive qualities  is there adding to  his attacking mind. Witsel is a powerful character and a nasty tackler.

His horrendous tackle on Anderlecht's Marcin Wasilewski that sidelined the latter for nine months with a broken leg. This is insane. With this player, when we deal with Barca we will only have ten men to fight.
A red card is promised. When he is banned, especially when fighting for trophy, we will be in trouble.

Hope he will improve in footbal  technique and don't relies in aggression. Then he will be a great player.

New player to Arsenal-Morgan Amalfitano?

Midfielder Morgan Amalfitano, from French Ligue 1 side Lorient, could be on his way to The Emirates.

He has has made 100 appearances for the French club, scoring 13 goals.

The most important is this player is available for free transfer.

 

Nasri depart Arsenal soon ?

Wenger has revealed for the first time that money is the key stumbling block to keep Nasri. He told French radio: 'We have a financial disagreement which hasn't yet been settled. We are still in discussions but we haven't agreed a deal.'

Oh no, Arsenal must keep Nasri. We need him in next season to get our trophy. I hope Wenger is willing to pay for this player.

Radamel Falcao for Arsenal

Radamel Falcao García Zárate known as just Falcao, is a  forward who currently plays for Porto of the Portoguese Primeira League. He is a natural goalscorer notable for his finishing and fantastic heading ability, despite his average height.
He is quality forward , but come at a price Arsene Wenger that may hesitate to pay. Plus Porto will not give away this top player. he is like Cesc of Arsenal. Gervinho is probably coming to join Arsenal because transfer budget must priced in. 

Messi vs Ronaldo

Messi is a type of player depends on teamwork. He performed good when the team foccus on passing like Spain whereas Ronaldo is often capable of attacking with own strength. When the Barca played passing football , Ronaldo hardly perform because the chances are imited, he can only shoot from a far distance.

Manchester ,Arsenal and Spurs hunts Leandro Damião

 He currently plays for Internacional.^[1] He scored the second goal in the victory "colorada" over Chivas Guadalajara in the final of the 2010 Libertadores, which ended with a 3-2 victory for Inter.   
^{He is young yet so talented and powerful. The maturity of this player will help any club to winning trophy. i think the much pressured Arsene Wenger will be hoping to land this players.}

Arsenal and Leonardo Damiao

What a bargain ! Leonardo Damiao, who has scored 22 goals in 24 appearances this season and is valued at 10 million pounds. I think he is a bargain goal machine that suits Wenger style of purchase. If I were Wenger , I will not hesitate to pay 3 or 4 millions pound for this talent. It is worth paying for this quality players. It is better to pay this money than paying for twenty over millions for very expensive striker. This sensation only aged 21 years old. I hope that Wenger   will not miss this players.

Arsenal buy karim benzema?

KarimBenzema told Marca: "I do not think Real Madrid want to sell. Mourinho is confident in me. Next season you will see the best from Benzema."

Look like He will not going to Arsenal next season. Yes, Karim is good but Real will not sell at the price Arsene Wenger demanded.Beside, money costed to buy Karim will be enough to buy good striker like Gervinho and A good defender like Parker.That is probably a good news.

Arsenal should buy Gervinho

Gervinho has scored 23 goals in 53 games for the Lille, and 10 goals in 21 games so far this season.
The transfer fees is probably around £10M which is clearly a bargain for Arsene Wenger who is good in picking germ from dirt. Of course, Gervinho is not a dirt, he will help us in next season.

high-yield bond market

The high-yield bond market continues to enjoy a record-setting run, but concerns over its longevity could be worry because another storm is looming. Look at the inflation ,it will force the fed to stop pumping money into system . When the oil price is 130 something ,clearly another crisis like events like 2008 will unfold.

In 2011,  anticipated that the rate of corporate defaults will continue the slowdown

that started in late 2009. Yet,  may be this will mark only a temporary respite. Tighter

monetary policies and refinancing risks could in our view precipitate a resurgence of corporate

defaults in 2012 and 2013.

That  may be the reason of why the super rich is still holding us dollar.But, look at the gold long-term chart.The gold is in the historical high , one day it will be a bubble and the bubble may pop some day in the future.

tornado in us

Meteorologists with the National Weather Service have reported that the spate of tornadoes that tore across the American South last week, killing hundreds of people and wrecking much of the region, was the largest in U.S. history. —ARK

BBC:

The three-day period from 25-28 April saw 362 tornadoes strike, including some 312 in a single 24-hour period.

The previous record was 148 in two days in April 1974.

The tornadoes and the storm system that spawned them killed at least 350 people in Alabama and six other states. It was the deadliest outbreak since 1936.

Save electricity

Install metal roofs
Metal roofs reflect much more heat away from your home than do regular asphalt shingle roofs.
 
Plant tree
Well-positioned shade trees can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees and energy use by up to 40%.

White roof
When you replace your roof, metal is best.  If you don't go with metal, then at least go with white.  A white roof typically saves 10%, and up to 20% on cooling costs.

Paint the exterior with a light color
The next time you have your home painted, use a light color. Dark colors increase cooling costs by 20% compared to light colors.

Replace Air Con.
According to Austin Energy, today's AC's [2005] use 30-50% less electricity than 15-year-old models.

Spin the fans
Fans can make you feel 3 to 8 degrees cooler, allowing you to dial your AC to a higher temperature and still feel just as cool.

持六字大明咒布施饿鬼，好兄弟们能打牙祭
From作者：福泽绵长

几个月前在医院照顾病中的姐姐，有一晚在走廊喝着牛奶，嘴里喝着，心里念着嗡（ōng）嘛（mā）呢（nī）叭（bēi）咪（mēi）吽（hòng），才喝两口，就有个好兄弟过来了：“给点吃的！”得，我的夜宵报销了，我饿一个晚上肚子，他们都不知道饿多久了，用手撕开包装盒，“嗡（ōng）嘛（mā）呢（nī）叭（bēi）咪（mēi）吽（hòng）------舍！”努力丢出去，牛奶化作发金光的一大片，原来走廊外只有一两个好兄弟，突然聚集了几十个，个个欢喜非常的在吃，有的一边笑一边哭一边吃，还一边合掌拜谢，可怜，都不知道饿多久了，有个嘎小子，吃饱了就跑：“我吃饱了，我吃饱了，我有吃的了！”赶紧出魂去追他，我不能让他吃饱就跑，我还没念佛给他们做超度呢！

前段，带着个刚落到鬼道的阿修罗的中阴身，因为急着超度他，到那里都叫他跟着我，我好带他念佛，可是我就忘记他会不会饿了？没有施食，那天带着阿修罗的中阴身走路上，看到一堆狗屎，我看着狗屎念嗡嘛呢叭咪吽，不知怎么就多加了个舍字，狗屎突然就发光了，阿修罗的中阴身急忙扑上去大口大口地吃，似乎饿了很久，看得我眼泪直流，现在想起那一幕，心里还真不是滋味------我真混啊，他来找我求超度，我竟然不知道给他弄吃的。

从那天起，出门都会带上一把米，走到小巷，阴暗角落，树底下，肯定有好兄弟（指“鬼”，见附注），嗡嘛呢叭咪吽------舍，丢出几颗米，就能让他们不挨饿。

一次走到一条小巷，看到父子三，父亲本来拉着一个，另一个在远远地方玩，走到他们身边，嗡嘛呢叭咪吽------舍，舍出一撮米，那个父亲高兴啊，叫另一个孩子：“快来，快来，有吃的了！”两孩子扑到那团发光泛大的米上拼命吃，父亲则跑到我面前扑通跪下，不停地说：“谢谢，谢谢！我们饿很久了！”唉，鬼道苦啊！

之后，我开始上山做施食，山神笑我：“你总算愿意来帮助他们了！”，山神这话是有原因的，大半年前我很喜欢爬山，在山顶见过山神一面，山神求我，到山脚后先别回家，帮我念念佛，超超山脚那帮好兄弟，那座山的好兄弟都爱聚集在山脚，那时候不知道一口痰都是这些好兄弟的最爱，在山脚吐了一口痰，就看到有个好兄弟来捡，我用脚踩了，还说他：“这么脏的东西，你捡它干什么？”，没想到惹恼他了，揍了我一顿，回来病一场，从那时起，我再不敢爬山了。学佛久了，才知道我被打原因，痰也是他们的食物啊。现在想到他们的悲苦，我也愿意再上山，施施食了。

国庆节回家时候，就教我妈念嗡嘛呢叭咪吽，教了三天，总算教会了，上个月打电话，叫我妈念给我听，念得还挺好的，就跟她说：“妈，你自己的业障要自己了的，我已经帮你很多了，有些需要你自己做功德来了业的，想叫你去放生，路又远，而且你自己到河边我也不放心，要不这样吧，你每天晚饭后就到我家附近的小巷转转，带上一把米，看到黑暗的角落和树底下，或者人走得少的地方，就撒上7粒米，念嗡嘛呢叭咪吽加个舍（XI）字，那些可怜的鬼道众生就能吃了！你去救救他们吧，他们好可怜啊！”要说是救他们啊，我妈可高兴了，我妈高兴地说：“行，我每天当散步，出去积点阴德！”

前几天我妈打电话来说：“心脏舒服多了，好几天不见胀痛了！”看来我妈施食了业见效了啊！

What hypnotized people see in 2012 ?

Monday, January 31, 2011 2012 saw hypnosis scene. 2010-10-01 08:14 Reprinted from Hermit Hermit Chen added the final editing
December 24, 2012: see their family crowded in the basement, lit candles at dinner, eating bread and drinking mineral water. I climb through the red stairs, climb up the ground to see, to see the ground, a dark mass, no lights, only the horizon, a little light. The entire sky like a big pot to be covered, and no day, only night, a dense mass. The room was dark, no electricity, no lights. There is no running water, no tap water. Wearing heavy clothes, very cold, but no snow, no ice.
December 26, 2012: Like the sky as the window was opened, was a "god" opened, the sun shining on the earth again. Saw people on the ground, very strange, very polite, very good, very kind. Everyone have a great spirit, very happy, very beautiful, very beautiful world, like heaven.
(OK, go back and see December 21-23.) Dense mass of the sky and saw a "big devil", enveloped the earth, glowing head. Many people died on the ground, into a white skull. If death is bad. (See 死了多少人?) Half and half, more people die, the living are few. To see an Indian woman, followed by a man, of those in the body, do not know the Buddha, or magic, his face was very calm, with no hint of sadness. (To see why people die?) Is a white powder, white powder is pollution. See the Indians, his head wrapped in cloth, in crunching the tube, creating a white powder. Then a bag of bag of white powder, was shipped to Africa, seems to be a place is called the Sudan. White powder was poured into a river. River, lake, water are all contaminated.
2012, December start: Many people get diseases, fever, dry cough, breathing difficulties, such as pneumonia. Also diarrhea, high-speed dehydration and death. But it seems not contagious, no one wearing a mask. Both respiratory and digestive problems. Manure will pollute, can not eat a lot of vegetable species, cabbage can not eat, because it will be infected feces. Lentils, cucumber, tomatoes, eggs, tofu can be eaten. Because it is long on the shelf, and not touch faeces, there is no contamination. Hospital full of people everywhere, many police forces drove tanks and armored vehicles, in the maintenance of law and order, but not war and violence. Many people wear a white lab coat, the body in the shipping, handling dead bodies. Incinerator, smoke billowing, and burning all night. (Look at the number of deaths around the world:) 45 deaths, followed by a lot of 0, may be 4.5 billion. The remaining number, 27 behind a lot of 0, may be 2.7 billion. Later, the streets do not see any people, but also do not see any cars. See my brother, also got sick, fever, difficulty breathing, very painful. I feel ill, do not want to read. (Case would not see this not interested. Only interested in love and marriage do not want to look at. I asked the case be sure to see) Was seen as the "Goddess of Mercy" came to earth, after the emergence of drug. This plague can be cured, with the decoction. Drink a decoction, the brother quiet a lot to deep sleep. Was good. (Try to look at the composition of prescription:) There Radix, fungus, and arsenic, toad secretions, Angelica, and seven XX (may be Aescin bile), the other does not know. Useful remedy is toxic, like fire with fire. (In look to the future, then see what?) See a monk, eyebrows are white beard, 80 years old, in preaching. He came out from the cave, the same as the gods. After listening to him a lot of men. (Who he is, is the Venerable Master not?) No, not the Venerable Master. He is Xuyun Master. Master strange Xuyun Why not passed away, how could there? (Look at the time, was that year?) Is 2089.
Case 2: Myrica see a war and gas
Then let her go and see the future, 2012 2012 saw, she saw the ground is a mass of black, there is fire, good horror. Asked her what days she did not know, just know that winter. Look what happened. See, a lot of gas, many people poisoned. Water darkened, and the like covered with a layer of black oil. Ground Niua, is capable of breathing. A lot of people dead, alive, very few. ... ... And then to see what things look from the spring 2012. See, a lot of the bombers, there was war. Alps, to wage war from the start, Russia entered the war.
Case 3: Xiaojuan aliens coming out to see the earth
And then let her (Xiaojuan) to see her future marriage, and she saw his decoration in a very luxurious house. Her husband, who seems to be lovers. Let her see or eat meat is prime, she was a vegetarian. My husband rarely eat meat. Ask a year, she said in 2013. Let her go outside to look at the streets, people are very polite and high quality. Each manage yourself, not from the violation of others. Full of tall buildings, but very orderly. The feeling of the street very harmonious society. Bookstore and then to see a lot of people reading in a bookstore, the book is the 3D three-dimensional, luminous. ** Little things in society, everyone vegetarian, they do not eat meat, a meat to uncomfortable. House is not expensive, since almost everyone's are selling a house, and very luxurious, very pretty. More than the rich, the poor less. Let her look around, can see the aliens. She says there is to see. Asked the long-sawed? One bit like a robot head with two antennas, round and big head. Q. What types of aliens, she said there are 5-9 common species. Occasionally can be seen in the streets. Civilization at the time I felt quite different today.
Case 4: Chronological Table by Song was told that a big flood 2012
I say "(magic) King, you said yesterday that the Earth will be a disaster. Can you please tell me, the earth would be a disaster?" King said, "At that time a lot of places will be inundated." I asked "is the inundation of coastal cities along it?" He said, "Why are many coastal areas flooded. A lot of villages were submerged. That time dark clouds, heavy rain, continuing for one month. Many of the city was submerged. Many villages were razed." I said, "That should be the reason behind the heavy rain. Many coastal cities along the Yangtze River flooded the city. Mudslide buried many villages. Right? That can see the sun it?" He said "on the ah. The sun should be able to see. It is very weak." I asked, "In addition to storm waters, and other disasters it? Such as plague, war and so on." He said, "I am not very clear. To the disaster when a lot of what has." I asked "when?" He said "the end of 2012." I asked "to do when the wicked are killed, or good man, too. How do we avoid?" He said, "unavoidable. Good man has killed the wicked. But most of all good people to stay. Most of the wicked are dead."

Possible result

Manchester.united is highly probable in beating arsenal in the match. What i don't know is the how many ball will arsenal conceded. I hope arsenal will draw with Manchester United because they need to defend their pride. One thing they can be proud of is they beat barca in their first round match with barca.

What you expect for Arsenal and m.u clash?

Anyone has idea on the result ? In my opinion, Arsenal will fight for its pride, m.u. be wary.

As Arsenals fans

I truely disappoint with another arsenal  trophyless season. Why is it so, truely the arsene wenger is the problem.He knew that the club lacks of reliable goalkeeper, commanding defender but what he has done to fix the problems.But, he seems ignoring the problems.
Hopefully, he do something to fix the problems.The fans can't stand it after so many disappointing season. 

Interesting fact of organic farming

 Farmers must be happy to see this:
Researchers in the United States have found that by following organic farming methods, conventional farmer’s can actually reduce production cost by over 25%. This is accomplished by eliminating the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, minimizing soil erosion by up to 50% and increasing crop yields up to five-fold within five years.

From:http://www.yelmworms.com/organic-farming/benefits.htm

organic farming

Do u Know organic farming?

Organic farming aims to produce high quality food while minimizing damage to the environment and to wildlife.So, it is environmental friendly.

When food or feed is produced organically, it means that the crop is grown by a set of guidelines that prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, synthetic growth regulators, and conventional, soluble fertilizers.So, our food is safe from dangerous chemicals.

Think orgamic for our future.

Pole shift

NASA’s website features a map showing the gradual northward migration of the north magnetic pole in the past century and a half. The magnetic field strength of Earth also weakens 80% compared to dinosaur age.
Without this field, life is practically impossible and in a short time, life on our planet would be extinguished.

Anothe thing to worry is the solar storm due in 2012 .The sun reverses its magnetic field like clockwork every eleven years at the peak of the sunspot cycle. So. how the weaken Earth magnetic protecting us is a big question.

Solar storm disaster

According to  report from the Financial Times.com today, estimates of solar storm impact could rival hurricane Katrina, and bring losses to as much as $2 Trillion dollars.

Remember the most intense solar storm on record, which ruined much of the world's newly installed telegraph network in 1859.Imagining the impact of this type of solar storm to this electronics devices dependant era.

The world would be in chaos if communication, electricity, water, transportation, food and other basic amenities do not restored in a short time.

So, it is better to prepare than feeling regret after the disaster.

prepare for coming solar storm

From cell phones to computers, radio,television and dryers to electronic ignition for cars. All this and all electronic devices are subject to damage from super high levels of electromagnetic radiation resulting from a massive solar flare that becomes a direct hit on the earth. The first thing you do once you have been alerted that a massive solar storm is just hours away before impact, is to unplug everything, regardless whether or not it has electronics.
        If you can, you want to unplug your entire house from the grid if possible as there will be lots of high voltage that will get in on the power grid that you do not want to get into your home as it could start a fire in your house if the voltage gets way to high.

Alien in arrive in 2012

The  SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), an independent non-commercial organization, released a sensational statement. An interesting statement.

Three giant spaceships are heading towards Earth. The largest one of them is 240 kilometers wide, while the other two are smaller. At present, the objects are beyond the orbit of Pluto.

Hope they save us from the current ruined world.

portugal alert

Recently ,the yield -- the rate of return for the buyer or holder of existing debt -- on the benchmark 10-year government bond was 9.129 percent, the first time it has topped 9.0 percent since the eurozone was established.
The yield on the 10-year bond was 8.950 percent on Tuesday, already way over the just sustainable limit of around 6.0 percent.
How can a country afford to pay high interest with slow global economic?

The cost of insuring Greek, Portuguese and Irish bonds rose to records yesterday. Credit-default swaps on the governments’ bonds pared the advance today, with contracts on Greece falling 49 basis points to 1,303, while Portugal was 13 lower at 653 and Ireland fell 9 to 663, according to CMA.

Warning about solar storm

Acoording to Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). "The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one," she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.

That was a solar maximum. The Space Age was just beginning: Sputnik was launched in Oct. 1957 and Explorer 1 (the first US satellite) in Jan. 1958. In 1958 you couldn't tell that a solar storm was underway because there were no cell phone internet and other digital devices. Even so, people knew something big was happening when Northern Lights were sighted three times in Mexico.

At its angriest, the Sun can vomit forth tides of electromagnetic radiation and charged matter known as coronal mass ejections, or CMES. The CMES charges could knock out vital electronics on the blue planet.
Another one of the side effects of solar max are super-charged protons, or flares, from the sun that could hit the earth "in just minutes," It's not just satellites that are prone to solar attack, but also "power lines, data connections, and even oil and gas pipelines.
