Mind Of Man: Regular Men Don't Wear Skinny Jeans
I can't wear skinny jeans, because I have beefy man legs, mighty logs of muscle and sinew, the end product of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. Ancient man spent his days running from prehistoric beasts, jumping with simian fury and squatting around the fire. Here's a short list of the men who ca…

Mind Of Man: What My Sister Taught Me
My big sister's favorite game to play with me as a child was a simple one that I'll just call "Lure John into the dark basement, then race up the stairs and lock the door." It was a game that I always lost, and she always won. I'd beg her to open the door, and…

Mind Of Man: How To Compliment A Naked Man
How do you compliment a naked man? You don't. The Golden Rule of Sex is usually do others as you would have them do you, but not in this case. Women enjoy sincere compliments in the bedroom. Not over-rehearsed grunts or snippets of porno dialogue like "Oh baby, you're so baby, baby." In my personal…

Mind Of Man: We Judge You Because Of Your Awful Boyfriend
Hi. I just met your boyfriend. He's a goatsack, but I don't blame him. Doucheberries are born, not made. However, I judge you, because you're supposed to be smarter than this. If the girlfriend of a friend of mine is a soulless sorority monster with vodka gills, I usually think "she must lick a mea…

Mind Of Man: What Men Now Know About Women
Gillian Telling, author of the book Dirty Girls: The Naked Truth About Our Guilty Secrets (Unpretty, Unclean, and Utterly Horrifying), recently wrote that women "don't consider drunk kissing cheating, as long as we're the ones doing the drunk kissing. We consider sex with another man cheating." This was number 19 on her list of…

Mind Of Man: I Want A Ladyflower For A Day
If I could, I'd swap my penis for a vagina. Just for a day. I'm both physically and emotionally attached to my urinary and reproductive pleasure nodule. But I'd be lying if I wrote that I'm not curious as to what it's like to have a secret garden. This curiosity does not call into questio…

Mind Of Man: Why Can't Men Have Teddy Bears?

Mind Of Man: The One Thing I Love About Myself
It's "Love Yourself Week" here on The Frisky, and I totally misinterpreted what that meant.

Mind Of Man: Don't Call It A "Man Purse"
It's not a "man purse," pal. Nor is it a "murse," or a "crapsack," or a "scrote bag." If you must call it a satchel, fine. But your clever putdowns don't emasculate me. I need this … portable gear container made out of dead cow hide that hangs from my mighty shoulders by a strap.

Mind Of Man: Nix Sex With An Ex
Sex with an ex is a really bad idea. Whoever came up with the concept of "breakup sex" was either a pathetic masochist or just lazy. Breakup sex isn't just "one more for the road." It's being given a delicious cupcake, then having it slapped out of your mouth. Breakup sex is a fluffy,…

Mind Of Man: How To "Talk" To Your Man

Mind Of Man: I Want To Grow A Sweet Mustache
I always wanted to grow a mustache. Fearsome pimp whiskers. To me, the mustache is to masculinity what long, flowing tresses are to femininity.

Mind Of Man: Why Men Use The "G" Word
I recently made a gay joke, and I should know better. Actually, I made two, and one of the jokes backfired. For guys, the term "gay" is an adjective that means "not masculine." Chamomile tea? Gay. "Wicked: The Musical"? Gay. Capri pants? Gay. In the new bombshell Rolling Stone article about General Blabber and…

Mind Of Man: The Best Part Of Breaking Up
The best part of a breakup is wallowing. There are five stages immediately following a breakup, and they aren't denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. They are as follows: shock, blubbering, wallowing, staring blankly at walls, and finally, dancing. The final stage is usually preceded by a music montage featuring upbeat adult contemporary music, a…

Mind Of Man: I Don't Totally Despise "Sex And The City"
"Sex and the City" is female wish fulfillment. But then again, "Iron Man" is male wish fulfillment. Women wish they could wear haute couture; men wish they could wear a flying robot suit.

I had the same experience with the Palarivattom shop of K.R. The staff members are behaving to us as if we are waiting in the gas agency to get a subsidized gas connection. The counter staff members are always cornered themselves with some eatables in their hand. The counter out side is having very rude staff. Even the security treats us as if ...View Morewe are parking in their private property. An end will come to all these, when smart people takeover the segment in the coming years. Poor Balettan.

I had a real bad experince from the KR Bakes outlet at Ernakulam South railway station. The boys in the shop had been very rude to me and was behaving like I had been there to waste their time. Very poor customer service.

The greenback climbed to an 11-month high against the euro and a more than four-month peak above 104 yen following Yellen's speech. Yellen acknowledged slack in the US jobs market as she called for a "pragmatic" approach to monetary policy to allow officials room to evaluate data without committing to a pre-determined rate path.
But at the same time, she said that if the labour market recovered more quickly than anticipated, the Fed may have to raise rates sooner and faster than expected. "If progress in the labour market continues to be more rapid than anticipated by the Committee or if inflation moves up more rapidly than anticipated, resulting in faster convergence toward our dual objectives, then increases in the federal funds rate target could come sooner than the Committee currently expects and could be more rapid thereafter," Yellen said. Higher interest rates tend to boost the allure of the dollar as they raise the yield on some US assets.
"It was very evident that the Fed's dovish tone is starting to wane," said Christopher Vecchio, currency analyst at FXCM-owned DailyFX.com. "The vague yet important notation made by Yellen was that interest rate hikes could be coming sooner than market participants currently expect, especially if the labour market begins to progress faster. Overall, this provoked an updraft in the dollar."
The dollar index rose to 82.456, its highest since September 2013. It was last up 0.2 percent at 82.315. The greenback advanced as high as 104.18 yen, its highest since early April, and was last up 0.1 percent at 103.90. The euro, meanwhile, stayed weak against the dollar after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi told the Jackson Hole gathering that the bank is ready to adjust monetary policy further to alleviate a sluggish euro zone economy.
The euro zone common currency, which had plunged earlier in the session to $1.3221 against the dollar, its lowest in 11 months, last traded at $1.3246, down 0.3 percent. For Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions, Yellen seemed less concerned about low wage growth. "Low wages are seen as an obstacle to an early Fed rate hike so any less concern on that front would be supportive of the rate debate," Manimbo said.

Microsoft Unfazed by Windows Mobile Flop
Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) announced some disappointing news this morning concerning its cellphone software -- and also had some "fighting words" for Apple (AAPL - Get Report) iPhone fans.
Even though Microsoft fell short of its highly publicized brag that it would sell 20 million Windows Mobile software licenses in the past year, the company was able to put a good spin on things.
Microsoft wrote to me to say that it was "excited to announce that Windows Mobile had yet another year of high growth, closing out the fiscal year by nearly doubling the overall expansion of the market."
In particular, Microsoft says that despite the recent hubbub over the release of the iPhone 3G, that cellphones based on the Microsoft mobile operating system are still doing very well.
"IDC expects Windows Mobile phones to continue to outsell iPhones in both consumer and enterprise shipments, and by 2012, Windows Mobile is expected to double sales over the iPhone in the consumer space, and have nearly nine times the amount of enterprise deployments." With the new iPhone 3G being able to connect to Microsoft Exchange servers, allowing users to keep track of e-mail, contacts and appointments, I wonder whether those numbers can and will be challenged in the future. And that doesn't take into account any of the new phones rumored to be released in the next few months possibly including a Google (GOOG)/Android phone, a Garmin (GRMN - Get Report) nuviphone and, of course, a bunch of new Research In Motion (RIMM) Blackberrys.

Though Shakira is leaving The Voice, there's no doubt that the 36-year-old Colombian superstar has left an impact on the singing competition.
Earlier this year, we reported that the NBC show has had a 4.9% ratings increase (with 13.7 million viewers) – numbers that Oprah Winfrey could not overlook on this past weekend's episode of Oprah's Next Chapter.
Shakira and The Voice are like an arepa con queso—the perfect combination. As a Voice judge, the Colombian super rockera is charismatic, engaging, insightful and more adorable than puppies on marshmallow clouds (coño, we're getting hungry now). But we digress. Shakira has also provided viewers with some of the funniest facial expressions on The Voice ever. Here we provide proof in GIFs. Enjoy and share before tonight's first live show!
It all came down to Team Shakira's Mary Miranda/Cathia battle last night on The Voice. The two Latina singers went head-to-head using a…wait for it…Shakira song, Antes de las Seis." During the rehearsals, Miranda stumbled a bit due to her lack of knowledge of Shakira's catalogue.
"Mary doesn't know her parts," Cathia said of Miranda. "You just can't go up to Shakira and not sing her song well. You need to know the melody." Ouch!
Blind auditions are officially over on The Voice and it looks like Team Shakira may have it in the bag. The Colombian pop star picked her final 12th member on last night's episode, but not without battling with Usher over Luke Edgemon first.

The new drop-down menu here on the forums link shows Helproom then Windows 8..7..Vista etc. No mention of the XP workhorse that served so well for many years. Used to be the King of problems in Helproom...
That's progress I suppose but Win 7 is its true offspring, Vista, in my humble opinion, was dissapointing to say the least.

I've just read the PCA email with this link in it Windows 8: One OS to Rule Them All? Has PCA towers now relocated to the depths of dark Mordor? Have some of us now got a mission in hand to rescue the staff from evil forces? All this to do, and the Great White Wizard has been missing since the re-launch. Is something sinister happening now that the snows of winter are with us to hide what's happening?

Normally the dropdown bar would show the most popular and well used parts of PCA first.
I can't believe that they are set in the most popular order.Obviously they are set in that order for a reason.
I did notice that they have been moved around recently
Maybe I should get out a bit more often.

xiao xiong,
As regards Russian actions whether it was too much or not.
I'm not a military person, but my view is the following.
When there is a certain military conflict it is critical for the troops not only to force the opposing army to retreat but it is vital to prevent them from further attacks. It is vital to occupy nearby highlands and destroy nearby military infrastructure such as radars etc. It is vital to destroy ways for reinforcement.
Otherwise you are sending you solders - young boys - to a suicide.
Russia has occupied strategically important points in order to prevent further massive strikes on them or South Ossetia.
Don't you think that if Sakhashvily could – he would continue his military operation? Btw, what is his further intentions. Isn't it a fact that his Defense Minister openly claimed that they need reinforcement from NATO, that they need new weapons?! What for?...
By the way nobody pretend for the Georgian Capital (Tbilisi). I believe you would have a good point, saying "it was too much" if Russian forces occupied Tbilisi. But this is not the case. And Georgian president easily giving interviews blaming Russians in all the sins… Nobody from Russia side has limited his actions.
The only thing that was done is that Georgian troops has been forced to retreat and prevented from further attacks.
"Because for them Russia is a regional power , who is dangerous only on the West side - on European side of their borders - not on the East side.
Then they really don't care about Russia…."
Thanks! This is largely what I have been saying. The only global bully is NOT Russia :) Russia is at best a regional bully that is increasingly encircled by US and its allies. Russia's actions in what it considers as its "sphere" makes little changes to the lives of 90% of the world.
But I can't accept your statement: "Except that they will never recognize Russian violation of territorial integrity recognized by UN." The weight of official opinion from the 90% certainly doesn't point in this direction. Most would choose to remain neutral having seen clearly the duplicity of the West.
"Hahahaahah it's in the CONTENT stupid":
"Okay let's deviate a little bit from the main issue for a moment: What would be the nature of international reality if the USSR won the cold war and Western democracies were crushed? Do you think you and I would be in this forum? .."
What an insufferable proposition! The USSR is dead, and the cold war is over… now move on for heaven's sake. What's the point in making silly scenarios that have long passed their "sell by" date? There is no point in confusing and obfuscating what current realities are – and that is that there is only ONE global bully now – and it's certainly not Russia. And that status may be challenged more in time but certainly not now…. And the chance of Russia occupying this mantle sometime deep in the future does seem remote. Speak about China and we may well have an interesting discussion.
That guy Jahar blabbers a lot like a silly academic :) but I like the article he quoted some hours back:
"The idea that Russia's incursion into Georgia makes her an international pariah - comparable to Nazi Germany - is just ludicrous. The US, for its part, would have acted no less imperiously, as indeed it did in Chile, in living memory. What we are witnessing is not so much Russia breaking the rules as Russia returning to normal great power misbehaviour; which China will soon do too.
Unlike the Cold War, this is not an ideological struggle between good and evil, but rather a classical clash of national interests which will require a realpolitik solution"
It's time you moved on from the media in Mars and understood that the crisis in Georgia has clearly exposed the hypocrisy of the West. But they are clever enough to realize that there is no point in risking further their strategic and economic interests and possibly a serious configuration for a territory that simply is not important enough and where the misguided leadership may have indeed initiated the mess.
"Hahahaahah it's in the CONTENT stupid" (aka HIITCS)
I found your assertion on Indian views on the Georgian crisis –wherein you hinted that they were against Russia needing some validation. I checked out online Indian newspapers and found instead broad evidence of my standpoint. Either they provided a few terse lines on Georgia, and those too tucked in deep in the labyrinths of verbiage or were pretty vocal in their condemnation of Western hypocrisy. For example, the largest Indian newspaper in both circulation and reach has this to say in its signed editorial today, and I quote:
"LEADER ARTICLE: Look Who's Talking
27 Aug 2008, 0023 hrs IST, Ramesh Thakur
You have to admire their chutzpah, castigating Russia for attacking another country and emulating in the Caucasus NATO's behaviour in the Balkans. Who does Vladimir Putin think he is — George W Bush? Reading western mainstream media commentators has been a revelation. They live on a different planet. Much of the western media do not seem to have realised yet that their opinions are now staple fare for people all around the world in real time, who also have access to other media. They are therefore well read and well informed. They are also better educated than ever before and have sufficient critical skills to be able to spot rank double standards and hypocrisy.
The net result is that while the American media, for example, might want to dump responsibility on the Bush administration for the rise of anti-Americanism around the world, they too have contributed to the decline of soft power as more and more people lose faith in the objectivity of leading US media outlets and are tired of their one-sided moralising and hectoring.
On the Georgian crisis, while the western media have portrayed the West as united against Russian aggression, the rest of the world faults a bullying West that incredibly glosses over the reality of Georgia attacking South Ossetia indiscriminately. There are three levels on which the world parts company with the West on this.
First, liberal and conservative commentators and politicians alike seem to believe they have a divine dispensation to be the moral arbiter of their own conduct and that of everyone else. Who should be the judge of NATO conduct in the Balkans, Afghanistan and the Caucasus? Why, NATO, of course.
And who should stand in judgment over China's actions vis-a-vis Darfur and Myanmar or Russia's in the Balkans and the Caucasus? Why, the West, self-evidently. …"
You can read the rest of the editorial in
Also, the recent announcement of recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia was dispatched in a few bland lines : http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/World/Russia_declares_Georgia_rebels_...
Sorry George, your hypothesis needs to be totally rejected.
We now all wait some objective validation of your interesting comment that the "99%" of the Chinese are against the Russians in this. I anxiously await your response - and please avoid anecdotal evidence.
"Its in the CONTENT, stupid! hahahaahah" :
"This gotta be one of the most astonishingly misinformed comment I ever encountered. I thought Russia is the one supplying nuclear hardwares and knowhows to Iran..? Maybe I'm tuning in to a media outfit from Mars..."
Lets see some credible references that support your views. Russia has not been mentioned in acts of Nuclear Proliferation. The Khan "enterprise" (Pakistan) certianly did, and there is suspicion of Chinese and North Korean intentions - particularly the latter.
Before making silly statements, you need to research a bit better. The news papers from Mars are not what I meant but some credible sources for a change and not some crazy flight of fancy! Lets have some credible references rather than some silly street demonstration oriented slogans.
What a load of BS!
"Its in the CONTENT, stupid! hahahaahah"
Sergey Eko,
After re-reading your questions, I'd also like to comment on whether Americans feel that the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were justified. In terms of American, and I hope, international perception, they are very different.
First, Afghanistan was and is considered justified in the US. Why? Because the Taliban regime in Afghanistan maintained relationships, sought to protect, and were otherwise allies of Al Qaeda when this organizations leadership organized an attack on two major US cities on Sept 11. By providing a safe harbor to such an organization that took aggressive action again US civilian on US territory, it effectively committed an Act of War against the US and we justly retailiated. NATO, and other nations outside NATO, at least at the time, were largely in support of this action.
Iraq, in contrast, was, as you point out, a War that was incorrectly justified by a perceived security threat from Iraq. The perceived security threat was the belief, at least somewhat shared by the international community and evidenced by UN condemnation of Iraqi weapons programs, that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Further given Iraq's past behavior of aggressions (1. the invasion of Iran, 2. the invasion of Kuwait) it was feared that if this country acquired WMD, it would pose a threat to the entire region, possibley Europe, and maybe the even the US. However, this was a preventative war, not a retaliatory war, and as such, it was and especially now, is, not considered justified by a great deal of the US population. It should be noted that approximately 30% of the US Congress opposed the War in Iraq. In retrospect, most Americans today regret the Iraq War and consider it a mistake.
I do not believe either War is comparable to the Georgian conflict. In order for the Georgian conflict to compare to Afghanistan, Georgia, or an ally, would have had to attacked Russia first. While Georgian troops did indeed enter South Ossentia, my understanding this was to pursue South Ossentian rebels that had been shelling Georgian cities in Georgia proper. In order for it to compare to Iraq, you would have to believe that the Georgian military was seeking technology that could produce a Goegrian military capable of threatening the region or Russian proper, and further, you would need to believe that Geogria would likely pursue and expansionist policy if it indeed acquired the technology. Lastly, in both cases, these Wars are not comparable to the Geogrian conflict because the US has no interest in governing Iraq and Afghanistan, whereas, and I could be wrong and indeed hope that I am wrong, it appears that Russia has ever intent on effectively controlling S Ossentia and Abhkazia. You could argue that America will try to continue to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan, but I assure you, the majority of the American public wants us to stop providing security to these countries, and at the soonest opporunity, US forces will be removed from these countries and they will have their own sovreignty without our interference. So even if the US government wanted to occupy these countries, its a long term impossibility because our electoral system will not tolerate it.
Just to clarify, and to state the most conservative argument possible, when I refer below to "Russian continued occupation of Goergian territory," I am referring to Poti and Georgian lands outside of S Ossentia and Abhkazia. It is the occupation of these lands that most convince the outside world that this conflict was about reasserting Russian control over a former vassal.
Sergey Eko,
In regards to your question about why is the US so eagar for Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO, perhaps the more relevant question is why are are Georgia and Ukraine themselves so interested in joining. It could be related to why Ukraine, as well as other former Soviet Bloc states condemn Russian continued occupation of Georgian territory: these nations fear that without a western security gaurantee, they are at the mercy of Russia, whom they fear may seek to re-establish effective sovreignty over them.
This is what just happenned in the Russia/Geogria conflict. Whether S Ossentia and Abhkazia become technically independent or are annexed by Russia, in the end, these states will not be effectively independent; they will be vassal states of Russia.
In the end, the recent action may actually encourage more nations to join NATO since they will not be able to trust Russian will respect their sovreignty. The question for the West is are we actually willing to extend to them the same common security policy that exists in Western Europe and selected Eastern European states. In Geogria's case, the answer is clearly no, and correctly so, in my opinion.
Okay let's deviate a little bit from the main issue for a moment: What would be the nature of international reality if the USSR won the cold war and Western democracies were crushed? Do you think you and I would be in this forum?
Alright, in a more related question to our topic in this forum:
What would Eastern Europe look like if Russia is able to dominate it? What would be the realities on the ground?
From BBC World:
The US said on Tuesday that its warships would deliver aid to Georgia's port of Poti, which is under Russian control. xxx."
Berliners know to well the significance of this action...
From Jahar:
"What cooperation have Russia showed in the Iran drama? Maybe lip service. Almost every step of the way Russia has confused the World with its skewed policy on Iran."
The plans for more aggresive action against needs Russia's silence - at the least"
This gotta be one of the most astonishingly misinformed comment I ever encountered. I thought Russia is the one supplying nuclear hardwares and knowhows to Iran..? Maybe I'm tuning in to a media outfit from Mars...
Sergey Eko,I think that most people understand that Georgia's attack on South Ossetia was wrong, and agree in principle with the idea of doing something about it.The questions, I think, are all around whether the Russian intervention went too far. In particular, too far into Georgia.What is the justification for the continued military presence in Poti? No lives are urgently in need of saving there. No truce or international law prohibits Georgia from acquiring anything or shipping anything. No-one in Poti wants Russian soldiers to be there.Had the Russians stopped at defending the lives of civilians I think it would be applause all around (or should). The trouble is, that isn't what Russia did.Russia attacked targets all over Georgia and continues to station soldiers inside Georgia proper, far away from the people it claimed this was all about protecting.
Sergey_eko: good luck with your questions - though I suspect you have asked too many questions in one go! But I will state my familiar view - that the crisis in Georgia is the result of many interacting factors and one needs a balance approach to do justice to one's analysis :
* the West and its "End of History" rhetoric and policies, and who armed, trained and overfed the ruling elite with promises (much of which they had no desire or ability to honour) and thereby sowed the seeds of conflict
* Georgia's ill advised (and some say diabolical) move to recapture territory that they had long lost control of, (this point is usually lost in the verbiage of the media's single minded focus on Russia)
* The Ossetians repeated expression for self determination (the sad part of all the polemics surrounding this crisis is that commentators essentially turned a deaf ear to voice of the people) and,
* An ex superpower's effort to reassert itself and protect its interests. But in the process displaying some behaviour that had not exactly made it popular in the past (but commentators have written about Russia needing to make this long overdue strategic point to the West)
The default practice of much of the established western media - but by no means all - has been to largely focus on Russia and effectively blame it for all ills and then call for strong punitive action. Clearly that's hypocrisy and something that one would have expected the independent press to avoid.
I guess my summary above will be interpreted as biased by some. Meanwhile the search for a balanced view continues...
2 SeakerFinderHi again, haven't seen you here for quite a while. So much biased imperialist libel in one post. OK, when I said USAID I meant the Orange Revolution, here is a quote from wiki for a change "Activists in each of these movements were funded and trained in tactics of political organization and nonviolent resistance by a coalition of Western pollsters and professional consultants funded by a range of Western government and non-government agencies. According to The Guardian, these include the U.S. State Department and USAID along with the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, the International Republican Institute, the Bilderberg Group, the NGO Freedom House and George Soros's Open Society Institute. The National Endowment for Democracy, a foundation supported by the U.S. government, has supported non-governmental democracy-building efforts in Ukraine since 1988. Writings on nonviolent struggle by Gene Sharp formed the strategic basis of the student campaigns."As for Georgia, this may enlighten you a bit http://www.defenddemocracy.org/in_the_media/in_the_media_show.htm?doc_id=225687"The Russia that Mr. Swift speaks for sees the world as Russia against the world." I would very much like to see the opposite but people like you obsessed with imperialism won't give us a chance."Russia was humiliated by the West in that it won the cold war." The West didn't win the cold war, it was in fact due to the new policy by Gorbachev and the slowing down of the cold war that the Soviet Union collapsed (it's one of the reasons, although the main one is the planned economy inefficiency and its failure to meet public demand). "The West did not treat Russia as a superpower after that." Which was good for everyone! "Although West has always been mindful of Russia and has acted with restraint in its regard." Which wasn't good for anyone! "What country could obliterate a large ethnic group, it's own citizens, as Russia did with Chechnya that the world would not condemn?" You clearly don't know where that began and who was actually obliterated, and who currently enjoys one of the greatest influence here as a criminal minority."Russia was admitted to the Council of Europe without fulfilling any of its human rights criteria, not even abolishing capital punishment that tops the CoE list."Wow! I really thought it was abolished here for long. Please enlighten me, who and when has been sentenced to capital punishment lately? "Poisoning Yushchenko, then presidential candidate of Ukraine" - oh, where did you get this? If they had actually poisoned him, he would have been long dead. They are not so lame. Isn't that clear? "carrying out a virtual nuclear attack in London" As soon as I start coming up with arguments on this board re Litvinenko case, people choose to ignore them and keep saying this far-fetched nonsense. If I do it again, do you promise to reply?"Those Russians are cheering that Russia is finally "getting up from its knees". It's becoming feared as it once was. It does not mind what the world has to say. It has its brute force and it is not afraid to use it." Clearly I am not among those Russians, as I disagree with every word here. My very presence on this board suggests that I don't want to see Russia feared and that I do mind what the world has to say.Chechens being afraid to say something? You clearly don't know Chechens if you say this.
... Some more considerations about democracy...
Everybody claims that Mr. Saakashvili is a democratic elected president of Georgia. At the same time is this true that Russian TV channels are cut off from broadcasting in Georgia? Is that true that TV channels supporting opposition has been cut off as well in Georgia?
And as regards Mr. Putin and Mr. Medvedev. I can assure you being a Russian citizen that the majority of the people did supported Putin during his elections and presidency and majority people do support Mr. Medvedev as newly elected president. I haven't voted for Mr. Putin myself during the elections (I was voting for Mr. Yavlinskiy) but that doesn't mean that most of the Russian population do not support either Mr. Putin when he was a president or Mr. Medvedev now. So don't you think that at least it is not polite from the US and European press to claim that there is a democracy in Georgia and tyranny in Russia. We are about 140 M people in Russia and if most of the population do support their president – isn't it a democracy? Why it is worse than in Georgia?
And all that recent attempts to compare Putin with Stalin or Hitler - this is just ridiculous! I'm sure that all intelligent and educated people in US and Europe should well understand that. Stalin and Hitler were bustards and evil people who has murdered millions of people who has tortured and spoiled lives of millions of millions of people. As a Russian citizen having been in Europe many times, working in international company, communicating with Americans and Europeans on a daily basis I can assure you that life in Russia is far from that you are reading in most of the articles today. By the way, if to read carefully one can notice that not absolutely all US and European press hates Russia that much.
I can easily admit and fully realize that there are a lot of issues in Russia, such as corruption, huge bureaucracy end many other… Actually the same as in other countries for higher or lower extent. But this doesn't mean that Russians are evil and this doesn't mean that Russian president was not elected democratically.
No normal human would like to live in war or cold war or whatever you call it. Do you think that 140 million Russians are that crazy so they want to fight with all the world, to rule the world?! Come on…
Without comment ... intersting thought though :
"The idea that Russia's incursion into Georgia makes her an international pariah - comparable to Nazi Germany - is just ludicrous. The US, for its part, would have acted no less imperiously, as indeed it did in Chile, in living memory. What we are witnessing is not so much Russia breaking the rules as Russia returning to normal great power misbehaviour; which China will soon do too.
Unlike the Cold War, this is not an ideological struggle between good and evil, but rather a classical clash of national interests which will require a realpolitik solution"
see http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/45162,opinion,georgia-a-return-to-superpow... for the complete (but short) article
Dear Sirs,
I'm a Russian Citizen and I would like to raise a few questions having read this article and some other articles of the UK and US press.
But before that I would like to say a few words about myself and Russians in general.
I have a strong feeling that European and US people have quite wrong impression about Russians.
We should not forget that Cold War has ended decades ago and generations has been changed. None of common people in Russia likes or wants wars, as I'm sure none of US or European citizens as well. There is no ambition from Russia and from Russians to become a super-power and rule the world. I believe such statements in the press looks quite silly and even funny.
So let us all be very careful judging the newspapers we read and weight the real facts that can be sorted out from the press. Otherwise we will become a victims of mind manipulation.
Don't you think that recent articles in US and European press were, say, a bit one sided? So coming back to the questions that I would like to raise… here they are for your consideration.
1. Was it the case that Georgian military troops were the one who attacked Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) on August 7th 2008? (by the way it is even admitted by "The Economist" in a very "anti-Russian" article, but this they couldn't argue [See The Economist August 23-29, 2008 p. 23].
2. Is this true that lots of civilians has been murdered on that day? (August 7th)
3. Is this true that Russian peace-keeping troops (who has the authority from UN) has been attacked and murdered as well?
4. Is this true that most of the civilian buildings of the town of Tskhinvali were destroyed even before Russian reinforcement has arrived from Russia?
5. Don't you think that Russian swift reinforcement has prevented even more victims? Georgian forces has just stepped back as it was useless to fight. So actually the long running bloody turmoil has been prevented.
6. Why Georgian forces abandoned so much US weapon? Actually why it was there in that much quantities?
7. Do you know if there were any refugees? (I'm sure, I should help you with the answer)
8. Don't you think that it is quite strange that Mr. Saakashvili has started to make announcements in the US and European press that Russian tanks has attacked Georgia and its CAPITAL even before Russian tanks has entered into South Ossetia.
… and some more general questions.
9. Why USA is so much interested to see Georgia and Ukraine in NATO?
10. Why does USA need to have anti-missile radar in Poland? Do you really believe that this is because they afraid Iran's nuclear attack or there was some other reason?
11. Do you think that military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan were properly justified? (I can remind that the reason for the Attack on Iraq was that US intelligence service reported about nuclear weapon in Iraq. Later it was confirmed by UN investigation that Iraq didn't have nuclear weapon).
12. Do you think that there is a democracy now in Iraq or Afghanistan? Do you think that common people now live better there?
13. Are common US citizens happy with the results of military operations in Iraq or Afghanistan?
14. Don't you think that it is a good step taking into account presidency race in US. Do you agree with the fact that people in US now become more afraid of Russians? Don't you think that this is a good opportunity to unite US nation against an "enemy" and as a result get huge support from the people on elections? Who can benefit from that?
15. Please answer honestly. Those people in US who didn't like recent military policy in Iraq and Afghanistan, who has suffered from mortgage crises – do you give support to your government in the fight against "evil" Russia? I'm afraid that most of US and Europeans might answer "yes" (I hope that I'm wrong in that but I'm afraid I'm not)
16. Do you think it is normal when Iraq reconstruction tender was won by the company owned by one of the Senior Governmental officers in US who initially took the decision to send troops to Iraq?
P.S. I've places similar comments to one of the articles on Reuters web page , so just wanted to raise the same issue here. But I'm not a PR agent of secret service agent :)
Hi xiao xiongLet's put it this way. SO FAR Russia is wrong and overly militaristic, as I believe one must act according to what they say. Maybe I don't know the situation on the ground but, from the political standpoint, I would have already withdrawn from the places like Poti. The guys in charge probably ascribe more importance to acting in response to the current NATO warships deployment in the Black Sea rather than thinking long-term of international public sentiment. However, there's no news that the Russian troops have come to stay. So let's wait and see.
SeakerFinder: "Mr. Swift thinks that the Rose Revolution was not the will of the people but sponsored by USAID. I wonder on what authority."
as it turns out I was in the neighborhood in those days. People used to talk of Sorros organizations as providing encouragement and funding. The US couldnt be blind to this.... at the very least.
But certainly not USAID... they were not involved
Mr. Swift thinks that the Rose Revolution was not the will of the people but sponsored by USAID. I wonder on what authority. Does he know Georgia so well? It clearly ensues from his text that he does not know at all.
The Russia that Mr. Swift speaks for sees the world as Russia against the world. It's Russia that has suffered. Russia was humiliated by the West in that it won the cold war. The West did not treat Russia as a superpower after that. Although West has always been mindful of Russia and has acted with restraint in its regard. What country could obliterate a large ethnic group, it's own citizens, as Russia did with Chechnya that the world would not condemn? Russia was admitted to the Council of Europe without fulfilling any of its human rights criteria, not even abolishing capital punishment that tops the CoE list. Poisoning Yushchenko, then presidential candidate of Ukraine, and carrying out a virtual nuclear attack in Lonon on one of its agents are just a few examples.
Those Russians are cheering that Russia is finally "getting up from its knees". It's becoming feared as it once was. It does not mind what the world has to say. It has its brute force and it is not afraid to use it.
Russia is a casualty in this as well, not only Georgia. Civil freedoms and political liberties are going to be further repressed, and any liberalization is further on the horizon then the hopeful have imagined.
Tatarstan's Independence party has issued an appeal for its independence on Monday. Isn't it a tad too cynical to say that Chechens have not been asking for independence lately? Let alone independence, people there are to this day too afraid even to speak to Human Rights Watch. But this is up until a certain time. Russia may be overplaying its hand.

I applied this product to my cat of 19 months-he was traumatised and clearly distressed by the product-likewise I found a burning sensation around my mouth and tried to rube water into to his fur to relieve him of this chemical reaction. I will not use it again and I will contact my Vet Surgery as it is clearly not suitable for him.
Your survey above is not appropriate-I would not give it a rating
Written on: 25/01/2011
I found this review very helpful because...my cat a 18 month Bengal reacted the same way. My adult daughter applied the product at lunchtime, when I got back from work at 5pm he was still reacting to the burn. I applied water to hi nec, and tried milk. After speaking to the vet, I washed his neck with water and then dried it thoroughly. He calmed down eventually.We have used this product before but without such a nasty reaction.

Live updates
More rail passengers pushed to £5,000-a-year fares
More rail passengers will pay more than £5,000 a year for their season tickets from January 2.
Announcing an average 2.2% rise on rail fares in 2015, industry body the Rail Delivery Group said the rise is the lowest average rise for five years.
However, many season ticket holders will find their average rise will be greater than their annual pay rise.
- ITV Report

How train fares will rise from January 2, 2015
Rail fares will increase by an average of 2.2% from January 2, it has been announced today. See examples of how the fares are set to rise.

Regulated rail fares set to rise in the New Year
More rail travellers will be pushed in to the £5,000-a-year season ticket price bracket following today's announcement of train fair rises that will take effect from January 2nd.
The rise for regulated fares, which includes season tickets, will be up to 2.5%, which means those commuting from Canterbury East to London, for example, will see their season tickets rising from the January 2014 price of £4,960 to a point beyond £5,000. Folkestone Central to London season tickets which were £4,984 in January 2014 will also pass the £5,000 mark.
Other travellers will have to join the ranks of those already paying £4,000 a year for their annual commute. The season ticket from West Malling in Kent to London, for example, rises from the January 2014 figure of £3,996 to a point beyond £4,000 .
Those commuting to London from Woking in Surrey will see their January 2014 season ticket price of £2,980 rising past the £3,000 mark. Although the January 2015 rise for regulated fares has been limited to no more than 2.5%, unregulated fares, such as off-peak leisure tickets, can go up by as much as the train companies like.
However, announcing the new fares today, the rail industry body the Rail Delivery Group said the average rise for all fares to take effect from January 2 would be 2.2%, which is the lowest average rise for five years.
However, many season ticket holders will find their average rise will be greater than their annual pay rise.

Parents protest for new school in Benenden
More than 50 parents and children waving banners and placards have protested on the green in Benenden about the need for a new village school.
Benenden Primary has planning permission for an entirely new school to replace its crumbling buildings – but no funding.
The school is currently split across two sites - one dating back to the 17th century - and children have to cross the busy main road through the village to walk between them. It currently has no school hall or dining hall, and no kitchen.
The Department for Education is in the process of considering which schools will be awarded funding for new buildings.

I used Maya!
This member has provided no bio about themself...
I used Maya!
Yep! they always swirl. it's a thing I started some whiles back.
all are good if used in singleplayer, and aren't hax to own the game for free.
multiplayer, use only if the server allows you, and use responsibly!
thanks! I think so too. ^^
yep! I hope it gets funded, but I have doubts :c
Uh oh, the page got authorised quicker than I had anticipated! I better try to get the profile fixed. it's hard to work without the custom CSS!
no idea. There may be a way to convert the files, but I am unaware. you'd need a file converting tool, for sure.
I have not enabled image uploading due to the potential for spam abuse.
etc. etc.
the new villager sounds are amazing. they're just like Squidwards.
I don't like that mod set tbh. they purposefully killed Tekkit, just so you had to download their mod pack through a ad-fly gateway.
all this stupidity over ad-fly too. it was insane for the forum and wiki admins. we were tearing out hair out for both personal and spam issues.
while PCs are supirior for having moddable controls, lots of custom content, freeware, the ability to edit core files, the ability to sort out multimedia, the ability to change the background, loading screen, themes and more through the control panel, the ability to even be portable via laptops, the ability to play most games on the market now
I could go on and on and on. but, through all that, don't forget, xboxes do have an advantage.
a small selection of Xbox-exclusive games! and DRM! and get this. you get to pay for this content with a live account. you have to keep paying them FOREVER! doesn't that sound so much cooler???
All facts aside, no flaming or fighting here please. let these xbox players do what they want.
instead of downvoting pro-xbox users, just laugh at the comment, and be on your way. they're getting screwed by microsoft already. we don't need to screw them from the other side too with our karma voting :U
It has all the media needed to keep this page up-to-date, as well as all the old Cake Campaign media, for those who love a bit of archival reference :P
I used to check damn near hourly. I had a bot that told me whenever Mojang said stuff. updating this profile happened pretty much instantly before.
RE the update, far too late imo. they've had saddles in for nearly 1 1/2 years. only now they add a controllable mount?
nearly three years now, and counting, since their first promise of an API
everyone wanted images locked to users. I simply did what everyone wanted. if the community wants this undone, I will be willing to try. but I believe it is too risky to unlock the images.
This is exactly why. to be honest, I cannot trust that only minecraft stuff can be kept on. as-is, this is a sorta big thing. I'm unsure if the community here will survive with no moderation. the news issue could be as bad as the download issue. I have no idea.
If someone comes forward/posts lots of official Mojang posts, I will allow them to take control, if they'd like.
I copied it from a different map. some "giant's forest". :U
If someone on here consistently contributes the Mojang news updates in the coming weeks/months, I will be inclined to offer it to them probably.
yes, and no.
you will have the karma system to hide horrible/spam comments, and you can report any unrelated articles/downloads.
you can also comment on them, saying they're spam/unrelated, and urging others to report it.
with that, I hope the community can self-moderate effectively. I should probably post some of these tops as a "news post" somewhere, and then leave a big link on the front page, probably below the community section.
sorry! though I did source everything from Mojang's youtube, twitter and blog. you can always check there! :)
thanks a lot! and no problem. I just wish I had the energy and interest to do it forever. but, it was bound to run out eventually.
still, thanks! ^^
everyone calls me kizzy. I think it's nice in a way. keeps his memory alive. still, no problem! thank you! =)
oh, but thanks for the luck though! :P
thank you very much! ^^
glad I could help you enjoy ModDB. :) thanks!
thanks a lot! ^^
gdi. why are the glitch comments always the large ones. can't delete one without deleting the other.
It says:
well played internets
you are good
these names will be
random and confusing
each spell costs
experience levels
thanks go to TeH_n00b_GaMeR , for finding the language it was typed in! ^^
it's not you overall. it's just parts.
the lying government, the religious extremists, the courrupt politicians, the invasive privacy issues, and of course, the raunchy reputation of Las Vegas.
not that other places are any better. people see england as some posh stuck-up country. I'm sure, like us, you're perfectly normal. but it's the images the countries/cities project.
I must say, I dislike america due to corrupt police, the government's assumed dominance over the rest of the world, and the privacy issues. I don't dislike the people.
no to fast. these are just villages X3 NPCs are completely different.
I have updated this file, so it should now work.
the cycle was enhanced for testing purposes.
puppies what.
they aren't in it.
^this. so much this.
I wasn't sure what to do without leaking a lot of description!
What? that would be silly!
((yes. SO MUCH YES))
I'm afraid, I do not. why would you WANT a bug anyway? silly user. :3
Yeah. It's an odd bug, huh?
I believe it was 3, actually.
nor do I really. I want to keep them up. but even I was feeling the spam get to me. x.x
nope. I wish it were though! D:
but, you never know. it could be!!! :3
hell yeah, there should be a FWOTY award on moddb.
1st place, portal combat vs kizzycocoa flame war.
then we get to flame each other about who gets the money after.
since P:AAA built up an infamously bad reputation
old reply is old
idk why this is even still here. I'd thought that it would be deleted.
well, seems this is all over now.
feel free to delete this if it clutters up the page.
but please consider changing it. the first thing that I thought when reading that was about acceptance of CP. and I very much doubt any one of you like that at all. I just wanted to help by pointing it out.
regardless, delete it if you wish.
ah, yeah. I don't think we can talk about that though :S
now undeleting it? this page is starting to look like a massive one-sided argument x.x
just saying, I do try to help. despite how much you think "he's trolling!!!1!", I am just trying to help. this whole thing could have been diverted if you just saw using babies is wrong for an example.
I am not saying I don't accept the fact you're using naked people. it's not my business to decide that for you. I was trying to be helpful by showing how the argument in your FAQ could be taken in a undesirable way. it's the first thing I thought when reading it. all you have to put is "they're born naked", and that would suffice. I just wanted to help you see that bringing babies into the midst would stur it up more.
oh, delete my comments about how I said ACCEPTING?
seriously. learn2comment.
I said accepting.
and ONCE AGAIN, for the record, I would have not said AMMD if I had known he had not trolled my page.
it was a joke. it was staring me in the face how bad the argument was, and I showed you. then you turned it into this malicious comment.
also, FYI, I -could- say anything. I could say things WAY worse than something as petty as that. even I have a cynical side to me too. but I don't use it. what that was was jokey. if I wanted to insult you, I'd be permanently banned for sure.
congrats btw. first person to threaten me with a lawsuit.
and either delete the whole convo, or leave this comment alone. I have it saved on here, and I will repost if you try to make it look like I'm being malicious again.
also, have to add, this is a WEBSITE.
people could come in and say ANYTHING. post ANYTHING. link to ANYTHING.
it was too obvious, I couldn't not say how bad the argument is.
and FYI, you can't sue someone over what they say you like, even though I said he was accepting. 2 different meanings alltogether.
I could accuse anyone a number of things and not one of them would be sueable. however, that would be "trolling". and I'd be banned from moddb. non-the-less, the comment was meant to be a joke. you could tell by the way it was written. and you went and blew it out of proportion to make it a warped accusation.
and I'll be damned if people think I'd accuse and insult someone like a lowlife troll. I have never maliciously insulted or abuse anyone. and never will.
and for the record, the comment was before AMMD told me he didn't karma-abuse all the pages. so if it were after that, I'd have said P:C. not AMMD.
I said it sounded like he was ACCEPTING
accepting doesn't mean like.
also, I think you'll find that all my input thus far has not been trolly. and tbh. I don't care. I want to help. whether you accept it or not is your decision. I'll be glad to see the mod tear itself apart a bit. however, I am not the cause of it at all. you are. and I don't cling to petty disputes, so I don't troll.
wtf? it is illegal to SHOW it. not to SAY it. you need to learn about law.
I am just saying, to use that argument is silly. I'm sorry if you can't see it from where I stand, but to say babies are born naked isn't a reason. it's biology.
we're born naked too. but we dare not stay naked in public. why? it's indecent.
you could use the argument they're created naked. fine. people will still argue, but that's fine.
but you shouldn't give babies being naked as a reason. it's illogical to give an illegal example to make your decision right :S
sorry. small grammar problem there.
I meant:
"and I'm not trolling. I am merely saying that, to say that naked clones is ok because babies are naked at birth, is like saying that it's ok to see babies naked."
I was merely saying, to say babies are naked is not a good reason. in fact, it is bordering on him saying that it is acceptable to see babies naked in mods, and to kill said babies.
just saying, it's a VERY bad example :S
and I'm not trolling. I am merely saying that to say that is the equivilent of saying that it's ok to see babies naked.
thanks. I thought it would be good ^^
I think we'll take the focus off the eyes for the 3rd to final media release (only 3 planned ones left :O )
no, I'm not.
I'm trying to give advice.
not everyone likes advice.
no. I am smart. if by dumb you mean good mannared and has never called anyone dumb, a ******, or an idiot then call me mr dips*** by all means.
but they don't exactly give you the code. they assume every twelve year old is a dumb person.
what has that got to do with age restriction?
unless you plan to play the ignorace-because-of-language card >.>
but portal is 12+.
unless you can actually restrict the age, moddb will NEVER host it :S
you have to sink down to the depths of nudity? :/
wasn't portal a 12+? :/
so, 12 year olds looking at pornography in your mod.
you must have a very unresponsive consience XD
