Man jailed in Dubai for 4 year for.....

A father-of-three who was found with a microscopic speck of cannabis stuck to the bottom of one of his shoes has been sentenced to four years in a Dubai prison.

A search by customs officials uncovered a speck of cannabis weighing just 0.003g - so small it would be invisible to the naked eye and weighing less than a grain of sugar - on the tread of one of his shoes.

Dubai International Airport is a major hub for the Middle East and thousands of Britons pass through it every year to holiday in the glamorous beach and shopping haven.

Keith Brown, a council youth development officer, was travelling through the United Arab Emirates on his way back to England when he was stopped as he walked through Dubai's main airport.

Art to appreciate

YES WE CAN AF1s

The only candidate with their own AF1 designed sneaker. This is a strange mix of politics and fashion in one. Urban culture never shy's from making somehthing unpopular into a "cool" accessory. What do you think about this? Will there be more?Does Obama have a pair?Will a Presidential Obama put more pressure on sneaker manufactures to practice fair labor laws?

Amazing how painters can turn anything into a artistic canvas.

YES WE CAN

Stretch YOUR MIND

Mind and body fitness is a routine that each person has to take serious. When doing physical fitness your body needs to stretch first to get the muscles warmed up. When learning something new the mind has to “empty” all other distractions to have room for the new thoughts. Once the person clears out the negative thoughts and distracting thought process your brain can absorb information much better and you will be able to remember it a lot better too. When setting your workout routine you have to set realistic goals and make sure you reward yourself whenever you accomplish them.
A few books to check when looking to exercise the mind and body!
1. Art of expressing the human body – Bruce Lee
2. Touch points for Men
3. Art of Worldy Wisdom
4. I Ching
5. Metu Neter

Take time each day to meditate your thoughts and plans and then decide the actions you want to take to make them ALIVE!

Haile Selassie I (BOOKiDO History 101)

Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974 . The heir to a dynasty that traced its origins to the 13th century, and from there by tradition back to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Haile Selassie is a defining figure in Ethiopian and African history.

On December 13, 1960, while Haile Selassie was on a state visit to Brazil, his Imperial Guard forces staged an unsuccessful coup attempt. The coup d'état was crushed by the regular Army and police forces. The coup attempt lacked popular support, was denounced by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and was unpopular among the Army and Police forces. Nonetheless, the effort to depose the Emperor had support among students and the educated classes.The coup attempt has been characterized as a pivotal moment in Ethiopian history, the point at which Ethiopians "for the first time questioned the power of the king to rule without the people's consent".

Bruce Leroy is a bad mutha.....

THE FOLKS AT PRECISE MINDS SENDS ANOTHER MOVIE REVIEW(SHOUT OUT TO THE CHI-TOWN TEAM)Yeah people it is I again ready to give you a little flashback of Black Culture through cinema. Now, it is Black History Month so it's only right to(re)introduce to the young-heads one of my favorite movies of all time...The Last Dragon starring Taimak and sexy Vanity(excuse me Denise Matthews...she turned to the LAWD). Trust you'll wanna watch it for the fact she's in it, acting wise...thats another story.Besides that it was directed by black director Micheal Schultz(Car Wash, Krush Groove) and produced by Mr.Motown himself, Berry Gordy. The Last Dragon is one of those love/hate it cult films and it definately screams early 80's and Kung-Fu movies with NYC as the backdrop and aesthetics of a Sunday morning Karate flick it's interesting to say the least. From "Bruce" Leroy liking the girl(Laura Charles) to getting the girl, to battling with ShoNuff of Harlem the supreme nemesis, to reaching the pinnacle of ones training to receive the ever-powerful"GLOW." This film shows how far we have come since then to creating various, positive, entertaining plots where our black characters are concerned. Hindsight is 20/20, so with this film they were heading in that direction towards positive roles for African-Americans. Take my word or ask your cool ass uncle about The Last Dragon and maybe he could school you on the art of catching bullets with his teeth........NEGRO PLEASE!

USA sells arms to Saudi Arabia

President Bush, on his first visit to this oil-rich kingdom, delivered a major arms sale Monday to a major ally in a region where the U.S. casts neighboring Iran as a menace to stability.

The administration was notifying Congress of its intent to sell $20 billion in weapons, including precision-guided bombs, to the Saudis. It is "a pretty big package, lots of pieces," national security adviser Stephen Hadley told reporters on Air Force One.
The sale is an important part of the U.S. strategy to bolster the defenses of oil-producing Gulf nations, such as Saudi Arabia, against threats from Iran. go to www.worldnews.com

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination was her own fault, the country's president, Pervez Musharraf, said in an interview on U.S. television.

Musharraf, who seized power in a bloodless coup in 1999, rejected criticism that his government did not do enough to provide security to Bhutto, who was seeking to regain the post of prime minister. He noted that she had already survived one assassination attempt and "was given more security than any other person."

Bhutto was the first woman elected to lead a Muslim state,[1] having twice been Prime Minister of Pakistan (1988–1990; 1993–1996).

True Wisdom for 2008

Hope everyone receives this message in the best of health & spirit. Also, I hope that 2007 was well engraved in your conscious & subconscious mind. It either gets easier or harder from here on out. For those of us who learned from our mistakes, correct them and sow a seed. For those of us who didn’t, you know better than anyone else, you better take heed, and that goes for me. We gotta make moves again this year. It’s the “Year of the Tiger.” Plan your work and work your plan with your own (Black) hands. Have faith in your plan. 2007 was the end of one chapter and the preface for several others to come. If you haven’t been reading like you want 2, free some time, and don’t worry, the train of thought is deeply embedded. Stick to the script.
