champion italy playing 1:1 vs new zealand ....

WORLD SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP 2010 | GERMANY vs SERBIA 0:1

... and today we could see the real strength of our team. serbia is not
australia! a lot of german fans will have seen the upcoming world champion
2010 after the match vs. australia. here we go: this is the reality. klose -
it's a shame, sorry. ok, the referee was really bad, but a player with such an
experience may not get a yellow red card at the middle of the field.
that's blockheaded ...

DODGE | 2010 CHALLENGER “FREEDOM” 60-SECOND COMMERCIAL

back from disneyland paris, i found this nice historical commercial in honor of the world cup match between
england and the us boys. the 60 second spot is labeled “FREEDOM“ and features the 2010 CHALLENGER
SRT8, waving the red, white and blue“ going up against the redcoats. it is a pitty that the us boys just played 1:1.
i saw the match in a hotel bar at eurodisney and there were a lot of english men. believe me they were so
disapointed over the draw. i was very happy but so quiet because they look so angry and screamed a lot of
rubbish that i got afraid.

VIBERG NEWS

ARNIKO | HANDCRAFTED SKATEBOARDS FROM NEPAL

i am not a boarder indeed. i tried it several times in the late 70s and the results 
were always very painful. but finding the ARNIKO boards, ... hm, one more try? 
the boards look so beautiful. every board is unique, and all they are handmade 
by carver in nepal. the boards are made for cruising and therefore they have the 
classical form of slalomboards, developed from the surfer scene in the 70s.

RED WING SHOES | MOD. 2268 ENGINEER CUSTOMIZED

unbelievable: always the same red wing engineer 2268 and four times
another boot – made by hukurokuju. it's a shame, here in germany
it is so difficult, no nearly impossible, to get a boot customized. weeks
ago i wanted new soles for a white's smokejumper: a white vibram
2021 sand sole. no chance. they told me it will not work. so far ...

an old school toy for the boy: classic sling shot hand made from branches
of the buckthorn bush, a european hedge plant. buckthorn's hard “Y” branches
are perfect for sling shots. a light coat of hand rubbed mineral oil brings out
the natural beauty of the wood. natural latex tubing and a leather projectile
pouch are attached to the sling shot using sinew. at hickoree's.
