Saab PhoeniX Concept e o fim da Saab Automobile

Confesso que não é muito fácil compreender a história dos últimos anos de uma marca automóvel sueca que foi capaz (até certo ponto) de rivalizar com a sua congénere Volvo, a Saab Automobile. Como foi possível a Saab AB (originalmente Svenska Aeroplan AB), com altos padrões aeronáuticos e tecnologia multifacetada amplamente reconhecida em todo o mundo, deixar-se levar pelos dólares americanos, ao…

Canon/Headcanon Voice Cast

//So I have a whole page on the blog talking about the headcanon voice actors, but I'm making a post here so people can access it easier, especially since I'm starting to realize that Tumblr has, for some reason, made editing the pages themselves a lot more complicated.

The VAs behind Avatar's voice

I was playing World Tour and for some reason I never really put too much thought into my Avatar's voice, and who the ENG VA was.

And it got me thinking about the other Avatar's voices that made an appearance, and who they were. Surprisingly, I have heard the Eng VAs in different medias before.

Hopefully, this can help people hear what their OCs sound like, instead of hearing bits and pieces from the game.

1. Voice 1 Age (Juvinelle) Tone (High) - Zach Aguilar

They voice Tanjiro Kamado (Demon Slayer), Arthur Pendragon (Seven Deadly Sins), David (CyberPunk: Edgerunners), Genos (One Punch Man), Colt (Hunter x Hunter), Koichi (JJBA Diamond is Unbreakable), Expresso Cookie (Last Cookie Standing) etc.

I definitely recommend checking him out, he voices a lot of characters I didn't even know were the same person.

Cait #17. Personally, I think that outfit and look should score higher as well as a few others which are way better than the first 10. Still, she made the list which is good to see.

93 Of The Best Oscars Dresses Of All Time

https://www.elle.com/uk/fashion/celebrity-style/g26388237/best-oscar-dresses-ever/

Thanks for the message, Anon. 😃 I loved her 2020 ensemble… whilst never losing sight of fashion sense’s subjectivity (a sentiment that really hits home this London Fashion Week 😖).

Here’s Number 17:

Designer: Valentino / Year: 2020

Numbers 1 through 5 are under Elle’s text. Numbers 6 through 16, and 18 through 93, live in the link.

93 Of The Best Oscars Dresses Of All Time

From Barbra Streisand's exquisite Arnold Scassi pantsuit to Halle Berry in Elie Saab, we've collected the best Oscars dresses of all time.

For many, the Oscars awards ceremony is hotly anticipated for its choice of winners. Cinephiles discuss intently if Brendan Fraser's comeback role in The Whale will nab him Best Actor In A Leading Role, or if Paul Mescal will pip him to the post. Others tune in for the meme-making cultural moments, be it a slap heard around the world, or a calamitous misreading of 'Moonlight' as 'La La Land' (it could happen to anyone, right?).

But for us, and we suspect you too, it's the sport of red carpet dressing that keeps us coming back for more. Having the ability to promote (or demote) a near-unknown to a leading lady in the blink of a ballgown, the power of a stellar styled look cannot be understated. Be it Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy in 1954, Michelle Williams in Vera Wang in 2006, or Lupita Nyong'o in Prada there have been some truly marvellous -dare we say history-making - gowns worn by the best actors in the world on the night of the Academy Awards.

So devoted are we to the best dressed stars of the red carpet, ahead of the 96th Academy Awards (taking place on March 10 2024) we've gone through each and every one of them to find the 93 best Oscar dresses ever worn. You're welcome!

Remember… Irish actress Caitriona Balfe looked stunning — as per usual — on the red carpet at the 2020 Oscars in Valentino Haute Couture! The 40-year-old newlywed wore a unique outfit that involved a dress and a blouse when she walked the carpet at her first Academy Awards. She stunned in the black, fishtail-style gown which fell straight down her body in an extremely flattering style. But the strapless dress wasn’t the star of the show: it was the sheer pink blouse she wore over the top! The high-neck blouse was made of a very light material, and fell down to her hips. It also featured a gorgeous, oversized bow which she wore to the left of her neck. Stunning! The model-turned-actress accessorized with silver stud earrings and a matching silver ring and bracelet. Caitriona slicked her beautiful brunette tresses back into a tight bun near the nape of her neck, and polished her look with a bold red lipstick, and red nail polish. What a star! — Hollywood Life

So this has been something that's been asked for a few times, so after a long times work, here we have it! A hypothetical voice cast for the characters of Autobot Academy.

We may update this list in the future, however it'll be in our own time, so we won't be taking any questions about specific missing characters. And hey, if you have your own voices that don't match up with these, then feel free to stick with that!

That's a wrap on film awards season. 2022 was a stupendous year for film so I can't be too put out that almost none of the performances/films/artists that I wanted to win didn't.

What could've been.

At least I liked some of the fashions. An effective balm for the pain of the losses of Justin Hurwitz', Austin Butler and ALL QUIET ALONG THE WESTERN FRONT for Best Picture.

My favourite looks of the night

Harry Shum Jr. in Adeam, followed very closely by Donald Glover in his Vanity Fair Oscar party fit.

Halle Berry in Tamara Ralph, followed very closely by my fashion queen Fan BingBing in Tony Ward Couture

Cubao’s latest suit is here, just in time to celebrate Gong Jun’s 31st birthday!

The newest suit is inspired by latest collaboration between Jason Wu and Shu embroidery master Kang Ning. Gong Jun wore this suit to the recent Vogue Forces of Fashion event, where all three of them participated in a panel together.

The latest bao suit is fit for 20 cm Cubao, as opposed to the 15 cm Xiao Cubao I normally make for. Because I previously worked with a smaller size, the first step was to size up the patterns. I used the base pants and shirt pattern resized to 117% scale then made mock ups (I got lucky on the size selection and didn’t have to do too much trial and error). Then I sized up the previous pattern used for the Cannes suit (thank you, Jason, for using similar styles) and made another mock up to check the fit.

White sateen serves as the base fabric. This version of sateen is slightly thinner than the one used for the Elie Saab cape and what I am used to, but it was what I had on hand. After the pattern pieces were marked out, I used red pencil lead to trace out the patterns. Kang Ning said she used 10 different colors of silk thread to create the original embroidery; due to my limited real estate and short time frame, I used two colors of cotton embroidery floss. The stitches are mostly short stitches and rather haphazardly placed; the goal was to give a fur like appearance as everyone initially thought the pattern was fur so I wanted to try and replicate that (I hope I did).

Overall embroidery took about 12-14 hours over two days.

Details also include a signature embroidery on the back. I am not sure if this is both Kang Ning’s and Jason’s signature, or just one of them. It is a little detail, but one I really liked and did not want to leave out. The bao version is 1 inch x 1 inch.

Overall, this suit took 5 days to make. Gong Jun’s appearance was on Nov. 23 and the suit was completed on Nov. 27, just in time to post for his birthday.

And thus Cubao(s) now have had 5 custom suits made (in the last 6 months!). We are looking forward to seeing what will appear next.

THE SEA EAGLE

 NO MONKEY BUSINESS !!!

Rd 7

Manly 34 def. Gold Coast 30

Coming of last week’s frustrating draw with the Warriors in Auckland, Manly were once again on the road, this time off to the Gold Coast to take on Des Hasler’s Titans.

Manly were missing a bit of muscle up front with Josh Aloia, Tof Sipley (aka Sip Tofley according to Fox commentator, Corey Parker) and Nathan Brown all out, but of greater concern was the inclusion journeyman and well and truly washed-up prop Aaron Woods. Sharon (as he is cruelly referred to by some) is in the Sea Eagles opinion is no longer anywhere near first grade standard and it is perplexing that those in the know in the Manly coaching inner sanctum beg to differ.

The game started well enough for Manly with two quick tries to Tommy Turbo and Jason Saab Turbo, who was returning from injury. Only minutes in Manly found themselves 10-0 to the good and they were looking slick. As has been the case in some previous games this year, Manly took their foot off the gas and this allowed the Titans to hit back with a brace of their own. The Titans were exploiting Manly’s left edge and poor defensive reads/efforts from both Reuben Garrick and Tommy Talau are a concern.

In the blink of an eye Manly found themselves trailing 24-16 and only a long range try to Tommy Turbo on the stroke of half time prevented what could have been an even more embarrassing scoreline. 24-22 at oranges. It’s fair to say that in the first half defence was not the order of the day, with both teams allowing in some pretty soft tries. Whilst this could have been expected from the Titans (who had yet to taste victory this season at that point, and have been certifiably hopeless), Manly fans demand more. That said, this was Manly’s fifth road trip in the first 7 rounds so it may be fair to say that the team could well be a little jaded.

The second half was much more of a grind. Manly were able to score two tries to the Titans one and the score then remain unchanged at 34-30 for the final 25 minutes. Whilst there wasn’t a lot to get enthused about, Manly were able to bank 2 valuable competition points in a game that they were far from their best. The Titans on the other hand are still winless in season 2024 and their efforts this far this year are proof positive that the Gold Coast is where players (and coaches) go to see out their careers and in a rugby league sense die.

  Rd 8

Manly 32 def.  Eels 18

It’s fair to say that Manly were looking for a bit of payback to atone for their controversial loss to the despised Eels in Round 3. That said, the Sea Eagle finds it perplexing that the same 2 teams should meet twice within the first 8 rounds, not an uncommon occurrence this year mind you and highlights the inadequacies of the current NRL draw. Man was able to set foot on the moon 50 years ago, yet in 2024 the NRL are unable to formulate a decent and equitable fixture/draw. Perhaps one for the Integrity Dept if they can drag themselves away form their usual scope of activities.

The first half was nothing to write home about for either side. The Eels coming off last week’s embarrassing loss (to the Dolphins) came with plenty of fire, but were largely ineffective. Manly on the other hand, seemed a little off the pace and there were errors aplenty from them.

Eels’ flanker, Maika Sivo was proving to be a handful for the Manly defence crossing for a pair and when Bailey Simonson crossed in the dying minutes, Manly found themselves on the receiving end of a 14-6 deficiency at oranges.

Manly were much better in the second half, no doubt on the back of a well-deserved blast from Coach Seibold during the break. With the usual suspects leading the way (Tommy Turbo, Cherry Baby and Haumaloe Olakalatu) Manly ran in 4 tries to run out comfortable winners. Manly’s efforts were no doubt helped by a lack of discipline from the Eels which saw two players binned at different times, and surely Coach Brad Arthur must be pulling out what’s left of his hair as a result.

Next week, its Ricky’s Raiders at Brookie and Manly could well find themselves without the services of Cherry Baby and Olakalatu, who were both caught up in an ugly tackle on Shaun Lane in the opening minutes of the game (which resulted in big Haumole being sent to the bin)

They Never Go Better When They Leave the Nest– Des Hasler

It has been widely documented in this report over the years that they never go better when they leave the nest. Apart from JWH and Penrith Coach Ivan Cleary the list is endless, and it includes such illuminati as Bob Fulton, Fatty Vautin, Choc Watmough and Keiran Foran etc. Regrettably it’s fair to say that Des Hasler looks like he can now be included.

A highly decorated premiership winner both as a player and coach at Manly, after guiding Manly to a GF win in 2011, Des sought greener pastures at the Dogs. Whilst he did get them to the GF on two occasions (without getting the chocolates) he was ultimately sacked in 2017 leaving the Dogs in a state of turmoil that they are yet to recover from. His tenure at the Dogs, best summed up by then Dogs player, Reni Maitua.

“Des is a Manly person with a Bulldogs shirt on.”

“I don’t think they wanted to have any sort of history with the club. That is his vehicle to be successful as a coach to be at Canterbury, but he will always be Manly”.

“If you take him into a room and held him at gunpoint and said, who do you do for? — he is going to say I’m a Manly person.”

After the disastrous Trent Barrett era, Des returned to Manly in 2019. While he did not set the world on fire second time round, this was not surprising given the shambles left by Barrett. Following the Pride Jumper debacle, which saw Manly lose their last 7 games in 2022 Des was then sacked.

Just when you thought his coaching career had ended, along come the Gold Coast with an offer he couldn’t refuse. And who could blame him for taking it on.

It’s fair to say those making the calls at the GC did not due their due diligence (on those leaving the nest) nor did they take on board the comments of the aforementioned Reni Maitua. This is not surprising given the litany of dud signings since the inception of the Titans and the appointment of Hasler now looks they are the place where rugby league careers go to end their days.

After 7 rounds the Des’ Titans were winless and anchored to the bottom of the premiership table and Hasler’s losing streak is now standing at 13. Granted, the Titans did beat the Warriors (away) in Rd 8, they get the Storm next week so there is no respite, and they look odds on, even at this early stage to get the dreaded spoon despite hot competition for said spoon from the Tigers and Souths.

They Never Go Better When They Leave the Nest Part 2– Brad Arthur

As a player, Brad Arthur did not reach any great heights. According to those in the know at Wikipedia “Arthur was a Parramatta Eels junior and played SG Ball and Under-21s for the club. He then moved to the Penrith Panthers where Royce Simmons advised him he would never make first grade”

Unable to find success as a player Arthur turned his talents to coaching and was an assistant Coach at Manly back in 2013 as Tooves’ understudy.  On the back of this he got the head coaching job at the Eels in 2014. How being an assistant at Manly leads to a head job at the Eels is anyone’s guess and it’s fair to say that Eels Management, like many others have well and truly failed to do their due diligence in this appointment and to grasp the concept that they never go better when they leave the nest.

Somehow Coach Arthur has managed to see out 10 years at the Eels, and apart from 2022 when they made the GF (only to be flogged by the Panthers) success has eluded both him and the team. A hallmark of his time at the Eels, apart from mediocrity is his penchant for luring Manly rejects to the Eels (think Foran, Gutherson, Lane, Watmough, Ron Jeremy and even assistant Coach Trent Barrett etc).

This recruitment strategy is no blueprint for success and Coach Arthur has also failed to grasp the “never go better concept”.

Now well into season 2024, the Eels are floundering and Coach Arthur finds himself at the pointing end of betting (with Jason Demetreou at the Bunnies) for the first coach to meet his demise. If this was to be the case, do we dare to dream that his current assistant at the Eels, the one and only Trent Barrett takes the reigns.

Vale Terry Hill

Terry Hill was a very very good Rugby League player, and naturally, his best work was when he played for Manly during the 1994-1999 seasons. A 14 times NSW origin representative and Australia Kangaroo and 9 times test player, together with premiership winner in the 1996 Grand Final, saw him achieve things many Rugby League players can only dream of.

Terry Hill also is famous for blowing up the hopelessly inept rugby league draft the draft system. In other words, sticking it to the “man”.

Terry Hill became embroiled in the "External and Internal Draft" system in the 1991 season when, after agreeing to a playing deal with the Western Suburbs Magpies, he was drafted from the Internal Draft pool by Eastern Suburbs. Hill and 126 other players risked their personal assets and took the NSW Rugby League to court, arguing the draft was a restraint of trade. By the end of 1991 the High Court of Australia had overturned the draft system and in 1992 Hill was given a release where he was able to move from the latte sippers on to the Western Suburbs Magpies.

Of course, he soon realised that was not going to get him to where he needed to be, so it was no surprise that he moved to Manly in 1994. From that point his Rugby League career soared to stratospheric heights.

Although perhaps not one of Manly’s absolute all-time greats, he is certainly up there as one of their very good players, and one thing can be said about Terry Hill, when he was on the field you knew he was giving it everything he had to win. His playing record speaks for itself on that front.

Sea Eagle Car Review - Kia Tasman Ute

The Sea Eagle has noticed of late that there are numerous ads for a so called soon to be released Kia Tasman Ute. This was splattered all over the TV during the ANZAC Day clash between the Roosters and Dragons.

This vehicle is yet to be released, but the release date is said to be some time in 2025. And there are no details of the power train or much else.

All we know is that Kia have embraced their inner celebration of softness by releasing this photo of said proposed vehicle:

  What an abomination. Apparently Kia felt it necessary to find a Kiwi designer to come up with this horror show (personal opinion).

As we all know to be true, when Australian’s copy things the Kiwis come up with, it usually ends in tears. Witness the Wallabies consistent failures despite employing any number of Kiwi coaches in attempts to help them get better.

Let’s face it. Aussies buy Utes in large numbers, largely because deep down, the inner bogan within all of us needs to find a way to be released. A 2 + tonne diesel emission belching workhorse that can go off road and tow 3.5 tonnes, and yet fit a family of 4 and their associated sh(*t comfortably in the tray, is the best way to establish one’s credentials in that department.

The fact that many of these vehicles never go off road is beside the point. The point is that you can if you wanted to, and you’ve got plenty of muscle up front to help you compete on Australia’s horrific road networks.

But more importantly, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen hates diesel utes, so all the more reason why Australian’s are buying them in even greater numbers. As we all know, when the Government is trying to convince or encourage you to do something (ie go soft - go electric), it is usually in your best interests to do the exact opposite.

Ergo, the reason why the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux are still Australia’s best selling vehicles and have been for some time.

So if Kia thinks a vehicle with DNA like this, is going to muscle in to this club, or cut the mustard when the boys are comparing notes about their latest Ute acquisition, they better think again. This photo promotion looks like something the Beatles would have driven on the magical mystery tour.

The only way this Ute is going to save itself is if it comes with a 5 litre Cummins diesel turbo V8. Do we dare to dream????

  If Kia had to be given a school report card on this vehicle launch, it would be like the standard primary school report card for every child’s performance regardless of ability “tries hard but can do better”.
