Como chegar ao sucesso...

Um artigo do PlanetaBasket leva-me a pensar que o grande Michael Jordan teve a "sorte " de nunca ter tido "treinadores" que ao mínimo erro enviam os jogadores para o banco...

"Falhei mais de 9.000 cestos e perdi quase 300 jogos. Em 26 finais de jogos fiquei encarregue de fazer o lançamento que nos daria a vitória... e falhei. Tenho uma história repleta de falhanços e fracassos na minha vida. E é exactamente por isso que sou um sucesso”·
Michael Jordan

4.27.10 - Timbuck2uesdays hosted by Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek

We had special guest hosts Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek tonight for Timbuck2uesdays!

The night started with DJ Castle taking us back to hip-hop's heyday with a classic selection of 90s Eastcoast beats and rhymes via songs by Black Moon, Royal Flush, Kurupt, Mos Def and the Wu-Tang Clan.

Slightly before midnight DJ Timbuck2 took over the reigns of the sound system and once again showed us why Tuesday night is Timbuck2uesday.

Seemingly appearing out of nowhere Talib Kweli, his wife DJ Eque and Hi-Tek came to rock the crowd & gave the entire venue eargasms. Talib Kweli's unmistakable voice greeted the crowd and he began dj'ing. Kweli & Hi-Tek played us some of their classic songs and even a few new ones we've yet to hear.

DIGGIN' CHICAGO - WINDY CITY CRATES PT 3 (LOWRELL X COMMON X MASSIVE ATTACK)

A few years back, a good friend sent me a stack of records which included Lowrell's "Mellow, Mellow Right On". It's a dope slow jam which was recorded in Chicago in 1979. Maybe not coincidentally then, it was sampled by Common on "Reminding Me (Of Sef)" on his ONE DAY IT'LL ALL MAKE SENSE album. It was also sampled by Massive Attack on BLUE LINES', "Lately".



Wondering where a sample came from? Check out: http://www.whosampled.com Cool site "exploring and discussing the DNA of music". They post the the sample(s) for songs and the originals.

R.I.P. Guru (Gang Starr)

Hip-Hop/Jazz artist Guru (July 17, 1966 – April 19, 2010) passed away last night, but his music still lives on! February 28th, 2010 Guru suffered a cardiac arrest and following surgery, days later fell into a coma. He woke from the coma but died on April 19, 2010 after a long battle with cancer. I expect DJ Timbuck2 & guest DJ; Radamas will show love to Guru's memory and play tonz (of gunz) of Gang Starr tonight!

Do remember on June 2nd, 2010 The Shrine has DJ Premier in the house!



And now some classic Gang Starr videos!

CHUCK-The Intersketch

I really should be working on my animated show right now, but THIS show is so awesome that it has compelled me to blow off work in order to draw this sketch! The moral of my procrastination?

Watch CHUCK...it will make you HAPPY! (I promise.)

DIGGIN' CHICAGO - WINDY CITY CRATES PT 2 (THE ROLLING STONES - 2120 S MICHIGAN)

2120 S Michigan. Right around the corner from The Shrine, in the heart of what was once Record Row in the South Loop. It was the address of CHESS RECORDS - the legendary Blues, R & B, Soul & Jazz label! Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry, Koko Taylor... The Rolling Stones?!? In 1965, the then nascent Stones came to Chicago to record some instrumental tracks for their '5 x 5' album. The name of the group came from a Muddy Waters song and the band wanted to record where their musical heroes created their own music. 2120 S Michigan is a great instrumental R & B groover with some fine harmonica by Brian Jones. Empty Heart is another lost classic. More urban archeology, Chicago style!

Eleições na F.P.B.

Decidi candidatar-me às eleições do representante dos treinadores na Assembleia Geral da Federação Portuguesa de Basquetebol, para assumir de forma clara a responsabilidade que sinto de ser treinador. Percebi há muito que, afinal, ser treinador não é simplesmente uma função. Mas acima de tudo uma responsabilidade. Para com aqueles com quem vou trabalhando, mas também e principalmente para com a modalidade que me apaixonou desde jovem. E para com os meus mestres de sempre.
Entro neste campanha, no cumprimento do compromisso que sinto com a melhoria de competências dos jogadores que preparo. Tal como da ajuda e cooperação que pretendo oferecer aos meus colegas treinadores. Mas, acima de tudo, em homenagem aos grandes treinadores de basquetebol deste nosso país, cujos exemplos e trabalho desenvolvido no passado através da nossa Associação de Treinadores de Basquetebol, exige ser continuado e reforçado.
Aqui estou. Disposto a enfrentar o desafio de contribuir para um basquetebol português cada vez melhor e mais prestigiado. Contem comigo. Acreditem. Não há desafios impossíveis. Ajudem-me a ser o vosso representante. Já me conhecem. Sou dos que fazem. Não dos que simplesmente prometem.
Mário Silva


As eleições dos delegados à Assembleia Geral em representação dos treinadores estão agendadas para o dia 24 de Abril de 2010, entre as 10:00 e as 18:00 horas, nas sedes das Associações Regionais.

Parabéns...

Temos recebido muitas palavras de apoio ao trabalho que temos desenvolvido em conjunto com os Clubes na ABL. As mensagens seguintes têm particular relevo :

"Em nome da Escola do Algueirão e em meu particular, não queria deixar passar este momento sem felicitar todos os elementos da colmitiva de Lisboa que estiveram nas Festas do Basquetebol (jogadores, treinadores, juízes e dirigentes.
Estamos "todos" de parabéns pelo Vosso bom comportamento, quer desportivo, quer social quer pedagógico.Acima de qualquer vitória está a recordação que os nossos jovens trazem dos momentos fantásticos de aprendizagem e são convívio que lhes proporcionaram.
Queria felicitar em particular o prof. Mário Silva pelo trabalho que ele e a sua equipa têm realizado e que contribui de forma decisiva para estes êxitos. Também em particular, felicitar o prof. Paulo Nuno, não só pelo seu "regresso" ao basquetebol, mas principalmente porque, não tendo uma tarefa fácil, já que apanhou o "barco" a meio, soube com competência, sabedoria e serenidade atingir um excelente resultado.
Um bem haja a todos e que continuem com o mesmo entusiasmo a apostar na qualidade desse trabalho. (Isabel Ribeiro Santos).

Olá Mário,
"Quero dar-lhe os parabéns pela vitória nos sub-16 e acima de tudo, pelos comentários muito positivos sobre o trabalho desenvolvido em Lisboa, que recolhi no Clinic. O Mário apareceu tarde e saiu cedo e não me deu oportunidade de falar consigo. Bem terá de ficar para outra oportunidade...
Forte abraço "

João Marques (Jonas)



O Clube Basket de Queluz , gostaria de felicitar o trabalho desenvolvido pelo corpo técnico da ABL , ao longo destas 2 épocas e esperar que " as pilhas " não acabem .......
Só com muita carolice, trabalho e dedicação é que TODOS JUNTOS SOMOS MELHORES , e podemos atingir bons resultados...

Parabéns, e continuação de um bom trabalho. Contem com o CBQ , para a ABL se tornar numa referencia no basquetebol nacional....e ja agora uma sugestão:

Porque não uma Festa do Basquetebol em sub 12 em 2011,......nos feriados de Junho????
Temos de começar mais cedo , para alcançar melhores resultados !!!!!
Obrigado Mário Silva , João Cardoso e restante equipa técnica!!!!!
Hugo Martins
A Direcção,
Escola Basket de Queluz

ABL em destaque nas Festas

Temos trabalhado muito na ABL e ficámos obviamente muito contentes com os resultados obtidos nas Festas deste ano. Tínhamos por objectivos competitivos fazer melhor que na época anterior e recuperar a breve prazo a liderança no ranking nacional.Os resultados falam por si.

Na minha modesta opinião sobre as Festas temos jovens atletas com grande potencial físico e com capacidades técnicas que podem e devem ser melhoradas. Vi também treinadores aplicados e entusiastas , uns com maior e outros com menor experiência, mas todos com vontade de aprender.

Do mesmo modo também estou de acordo com o site da FPB quando diz :
A Festa do Basquetebol Juvenil terminou e os muitos jovens que por estes dias estiveram em Portimão levaram do Algarve mais uma série de fantásticas experiências, que só um evento desportivo desta envergadura pode proporcionar. Do ponto de vista competitivo a Festa foi igualmente um êxito.

iPad vs. Modbook Challenge

I realize I'd have to stand up on the roof of the Empire State Building on top of a stool wearing 24-inch stiletto heels to even come close to kissing the feet of Master Artist Jim Lee, but I decided to take on a friendly iPad vs. Modbook drawing challenge using Sketchbook Pro. The rules: Draw Wonder Woman utilizing any tools in the SBP toolset in 80 minutes.

Here's a link to Lee's original page:

What the politicians don't realize is that these are the kinds of kids that currently fill the public schools. Politicians should try teaching these kids before they lecture teachers on how to do their jobs. Any of you have kids like these in your classes?

Lagos to Chicago - Shrine 101

Now lots of people are already in the know, but some folks may not be aware that The Shrine owes its name to Fela Kuti, or simply Fela as he is known to millions of fans worldwide. Fela (1938-1997) was a Nigerian born multi-instumentalist, composer, political and human rights activist. He was a pioneer of Afrobeat music, a fusion of African rhythms with jazz and funk. Fela regularly performed with his band, Nigeria '70 at his personal nightclub, The Shrine in Lagos, Nigeria. Lagos to Chicago. The name is in homage to The Original Black President, Mr. Fela Kuti.

Fela kicked out the jams in his all too short lifetime. Here is a short list of essential Fela or Fela related albums.... In no particular order.

Fela Kuti - Expensive Sh*t (1975) Contains 'Water No Get Enemy' This will cause a riot on the dance floor - ask Timbuck2

Fela Kuti - He Miss Road (1975) Produced by Cream drummer Ginger Baker. (Who also recorded two records with Fela worth checking. One under each man's name respectively.)

Fela Kuti - Zombi (1977) Fela rips the Nigerian army for brainwashing its soldiers..."Music is the weapon"

Fela Kuti & Roy Ayers - Music of Many Colors (1980) Contains '2000 Black'. Afrobeat meets Ayers funky jazz vibes - classic!

Fela Kuti - Lagos Baby 1963-69 (2008) Compilation shows the evolution of sound from Highlife to Afrobeat with his original Koola Lobitos band.

Fela Kuti - Shakara (1971) With 'Lady' and 'Shakara', long time fan favorites. The cover is worth price alone.

Tony Allen - No Discrimination (1979) Fela's funky drummer and band leader for twelve years. (He was relpaced with FOUR drummers.) Contains 'Love Is A Natural Thing'. Afrobeat with some squishy synth lines ala Parliament.

Tony Allen - Black Voices (1999) Tony comes back with a modern dubbed out sound with bits of electronics and Parliament's Mike 'Cop' Payne & Gary 'Mudbone' Cooper, too.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 - Seun Kuti & Fela's Egypt 80 (2008) Fela's son continues the Afrobeat sound with his father's band. He is monster live too, just like dad!

Femi Kuti - African Shrine (2004) Femi cooks on this live set with both originals and a cover of his father's 'Water get No Enemy'!
