LoL@NG, whom got me thinking now. Maybe it was the Mrs Ibti 25 quid

I have a traffic fine of AED 150. No details. Just a fine at 8am on Sat morn in June. I'm never up that early on Sat. Khiyaamaa meesha ka socota.

Ng, So NOW you’re saying Gerrard should drop back. Yesterday it was ‘bring on Benayoun’ and all our troubles would be sorted. There is no doubt we lost the game because we didn’t have someone ‘providing’ the wingers and strikers with quality passes. Babel didn’t play well because he didn’t get any decent service. It was only when Gerrard dropped back that we saw any possession by the wingers and strikers. If Liverpool are to win the league Gerrard needs to play with Torres but he can’t do that until Aquilani is fit. Even then it will take him a while to adapt. Season is over lads. Maybe the CL.

For Ngonge Benitez cut a subdued figure in White Hart Lane's media theatre as he delivered the evidence: "We have to improve in the middle... keep the ball and pass the ball better... as a team we were not comfortable in possession..." He had the identikit player in his own possession to solve that last season - namely Xabi Alonso. He is now part of Real Madrid's expensive reconstruction and his replacement, Alberto Aquilani, is still some way from full fitness. Javier Mascherano and Lucas have qualities to recommend them, but playing the killer pass or providing a constant supply line to what will be the main thrust of Liverpool's title challenge this season, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, are not among them. Gerrard and Torres were marginalised by a chronic lack of service, and when Liverpool did fashion rare moments of threat, they were snuffed out by Ledley King and the outstanding Sebastien Bassong, who enjoyed just about the perfect debut. The creative deficit left by Alonso was top of the agenda at the end of day when Liverpool were hot and bothered, irritable, out of sorts and well beaten by a superior Spurs side, who followed manager Harry Redknapp's demands to press their opponents into submission to the letter. Redknapp was clearly delighted with his team and made no bones about how Alonso's absence reduced Liverpool's threat, saying: "They'll miss him for sure. He is quality. We planned to press Liverpool but it is hard to press Alonso because he can pass the ball around corners, do it first time, and get the ball into Gerrard. "They will miss him but Aquilani is meant to be top class as well so we'll see."

What?? Hope not.

Ramadan: Manage your time By Huda Tabrez, Community Web Editor Published: August 15, 2009, 22:30 Daily routine undergoes a complete change during Ramadan, which impacts work schedules, time management and energy levels. Gulf News Wipe Out Waste (WoW) campaign speaks to experts and readers to highlight best practices to help everybody be more effective and efficient during the month of fasting. We shatter myths such as exercise being bad for you. Find out how to boost your metabolism, health and manage your waking hours efficiently. Save your energy, sleep early and be effective Ramadan brings with it many changes, in perception, behaviour and most notably eating habits. But if your body is not introduced to these changes in a gradual manner, it could react negatively whether to eating differently or waking up and sleeping at different times. -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- Getting it right: Learning from readers (pdf) Good time management can be an excellent way to enjoy a more meaningful Ramadan. There are some changes that may take a few days for your body to acclimatise with. For example, one's sleeping pattern alters significantly during Ramadan, with breakfast earlier. This means an earlier start to the day. It would, therefore, be better if you gradually introduce your body to this new sleep schedule. Wake up earlier in the last few days of Sha'aban so that your body is not craving for a sleep, when you are focusing on work or prayers. You could use the extra time you get to catch up on reading, prayers or going for a walk. Another good idea is to detoxify your body before Ramadan starts. Reduce excessive intake of foods that may cause discomfort during Ramadan, like tea, coffee or sweets. May Al Moghrabi, a dietician at American Hospital Dubai, said that an abrupt reduction in caffeine intake would make the initial fasts difficult for people, as their bodies would be demanding the regular amount of coffee. She said: "Those who are used to drinking a lot of tea or coffee should start reducing their intake over the last 10 days of Sha'aban. This would avoid headaches or discomfort during Ramadan." Another crucial physical change is a drop in one's metabolism. Depending on the time since your last meal, your body physiology slows down, decreasing your metabolism. "Because you are spending more than 13 hours with no nutrients coming into your body, your metabolism would definitely go down," May said. It is therefore advisable to have all three meals during Ramadan - suhour, iftar and dinner, to spread out your nutrient intake. It is also good to do a light exercise two hours after iftar or dinner, to keep your body revitalised and increase metabolism. This would also help you feel energetic throughout the month. Overeating is another practice many people fall prey to during Ramadan. Not only is it unhealthy for your body to process a lot of food after half a day of fasting, it would also stop you from having a good dinner, which is necessary to provide your body with energy. May warned that overeating made people feel tired and bloated, causing palpitation in some cases, too. She added: "Physical activities and a good, well spread out diet are important to avoid feeling tired." For activities that would need concentration, it is better to schedule them at the beginning of your day. Your brain needs glucose to focus on a task, which is available from the suhour. You could schedule the easier activities that required lesser attention or energy during the latter part of the day, when your energy levels are lower. However, remember to get the right amount of sleep and exercise regularly, to avoid feeling lethargic and dull. Exercise to maintain metabolism May Al Moghrabi, dietician at American Hospital Dubai, advised people to exercise regularly during Ramadan. She said: "It is very good to exercise during Ramadan because if your metabolism is going down, you would have to boost it by doing more physical activities." A good time would be two hours after iftar. The iftar would give your body the energy to do the exercise, and the time to digest the food, which would avoid any gastrointestinal discomfort. Unhealthy eating habits would make you feel bloated the next day and have continued effect during Ramadan. Going to the gym or brisk walking would be good to keep you feeling fresh through the month. Sleep schedules Your sleeping pattern changes significantly during Ramadan. Set your alarm to a few minutes ahead each day. Once the alarm rings, switch it off as soon as you can, take a deep breath and get out of bed immediately. A few days of this practice should help you wake up earlier, without missing out on suhour. A good idea would be to start practising during the last few days of Sha'aban.

All the sites are BLOCKED! Marx, I only saw this show recently whilst in the UK (currently in season 5). Was a big fan of David Simon's 'Homicide Life on The Street' back in the day.

I'm looking to download season 1 for free. Where can I do that???

What you need to understand is the partnership between record companies and the radio stations/media. Record compnies pay for songs to be played on radion/MTV which basically force feeds you these artists. Gone are the days when someone would come out of nowhere. Gone are the days of independent radio and independent DJ's. They turn up with a list of what to play already on their desks.

Siren, No Country for Old Men has a whole thread dedicated to it. Great movie. Nin Yaaban, good movies tend to be those with little hype. Recently saw 'Taken'. Not bad.

^Looks like a good film. La Haine was a classic!!! Was a big fan of French films/hip hop those years.

Interesting. The Brits have always been favouring Ethiopia and do so today.

Not just lately but for many moons. Movies with big budget marketing are usually rubbish.

I saw the debate. AJE have done alot to highlight Somali issues since it's inception.

MMA, a soccer game???? After all tha you didn't even turn up at the airport? LoL Good welcome back by reer T.Dot

End of this week IA. Preperations are happening, food discounts a plenty, lights are going up around the city and radio talk shows are talking Ramadan and charity. Have a fabulous month all. ps, JB, sabuusaha kuwa yar yar ha ka dhameenin

Arsenal looked good last night and that new defender looks solid. A shrewd man is Arsene. They will do some damage this year and will surprise many but they will pick up injuries as usual and no one to come in a do a job. The season starts today folks.

Finally. Don't leave it at that reer Koronto. An independent investigation should take place.

1 Chelsea 2 Man Utd 3 Liverpool As much as i hate to admit it I think we will fall short yet again. Our squad hasn't improved it has actually deteriorated. Selling Alonso was a HUGE mistake. He was the one who made us tick. Long passes, short passes, free kicks, goals and dictated the pace. Aquilani is not the same player. He is Italian, needs more protection and gets injured easily. It will take him 2 years to get used to the Prem. If Torres and Gerrard stay fit, Riera pulls his finger out, Babel gets more games and Kuyt plays as he does then we might have a chance. Hope I'm wrong.

Too early but he has been making the right moves and the right noises. The test is now.
