A few days ago I was searching on Google Video for interesting documentaries on whatever subject and came across an excellent production by the National Geographic channel on a ultra secret gang that has been linked to brutal murders in nearly all prisons in the US. The gang Aryan Brotherhood was formed inside a maximum prisons in California and since has spread creating a multi billion dollar operation that includes drug trafficking, prostitution, contract killing and extortion. If you like documentaries I think you'll certainly enjoy this one.
The documentary is comprised of six episodes. After watching the first episode wait press on the video player to watch the rest.
Portuguese police have raided some of the biggest p2p networks operating in the country including Btuga, ZéMula eand ZéTuga. These sites were used by some 200.000 users everyday and represent yet another move by Portuguese Law enforcement to fight copyright infringement.
In a press release, Luís Ferreira founder and owner of Btuga, stated that he had always cooperated with content owners and even the police in removing copyright material in the past. He also stated that he had not yet been informed of what charges had been brought against him.
A wise man once said "life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get".
The story started a few weeks ago when I so cleverly thought it wise to buy some land in a remote town I never heard of before. Because my consumerist blood was flowing so intensely and what is cheap must be bought, even though you don’t need it, here began my journey into buying a big piece of worthless land.
The actual idea came from my wife that one day from surfing the net had come across a site which promotes and auctions various properties all over the country. The basic setup is. A buyer has a few weeks to visit any property, something I did not do, and inspect everything to see if is worth buying. If still interested the potential buyer must send an envelope containing his personal details, information on the property in which he is interested and most importantly his bid. Generally and auction takes a few months to end so there’s plenty of time to check everything out before hand. To make a short story even shorter let’s just say that I won one of the many bids I had sent in.
A few weeks later I received the much anticipated phone call informing me that I had won one of the properties in which I had made a bid. Very ecstatic with the news, I immediately got into my car, drove for a few hours into the unknown to claim what was mine by right and pay for it obviously.
Bellow I’ve taken the liberty to post a few photos I took from my worthless land.
Many big rocks, a very common theme on my land.
One of the many big rocks that can be found on my land.
This is the driveway. If you are a trucker or bus driver you will never have trouble parking, trust me.
The hole from one side.
The road leading into my property.
A big marble rock stands robustly in the middle of the hole. Quite breath taking really.
This is an image of my wall. Dating back to the 13th century this beauty gives the surrounding area an even bigger look of worthlessness.
This road goes to…. I just don’t know….
So here we have the picture. One big hole in the middle of who knows where. Today I’m the proud owner of a big hole on the side of a road. The big hole was once upon a time a small quarry but it has long since been left forgotten in the middle of the wordless. From the looks of it this is how it will look for many years to come.
