... so the graves were dug up and the bones were placed inside the Ossuary. But when I say "placed", think patterns and designs. There are huge piles of skulls, chandeliers made of bones, a large coat-of-arms for a prominent family totally made out of bones. It was a bit weird, but very interesting.
But now we are a matter of miles from the Polish border and we have a long drive to Warsaw ahead of us... You will just have to wait for the next ...

Early start this morning to travel to Teplice Nad Metují after a tram, a train, a bus, a train, & then another train 4 hours later we were there. It's a tiny little town with about 4 or 5 houses, surrounded by forest. In the forest are a whole lot of odd shaped sandstone formations.

Does anyone have, or built, a sunroom/solarium (whatever you call it)? I would love to have one, but here in Northern Ohio, I would be very concerned about heat loss. Any thoughts? And what are your experiences?
We added a small sunroom to our home about 24 years ago. Our house is small and it really opened it up and made it lighter. On the southern wall we have double hung floor to celing windows, the west side has one 36" wide double hung (also to the floor); and the east side has a 5' french door and two skylights.
The north is open to the house by an open archway of about 10ft.
The windows are all double paned, low e glass. The room does warm up in the winter on a sunny day and the ceramic floor is *supposed* to retain the heat (it was laid on a foundation of 4 ft. of cement ~ as per rules for getting the solar tax rebate on the last year it was offered).
HOWEVER, I would strongly suggest a small wood or gas stove to keep the place warm. We do have a small Vermont Castings wood stove and it heats the room nicely.
You'll love your sunroom if you put it on :)
Thank you for responding! It sounds like you've really enjoyed your sunroom and it was a worthwhile investment for you!
I was doing some research and actually think I'm more interested in a solarium/conservatory (don't want a solid top).
That's excellent advice about the wood stove. Hopefully when we get the $$ to add it on, we will also be able to afford some radiant heating under the floor. A wood stove would be nice.
Half the reason I want to get it is to watch the snow in winter! We live in NE Ohio and it is SO beautiful when lake effect comes in and it just snows and snows and snows.
Our sunroom is an addition with 6 skylights in roof and windows all along 3 sides. It is very comfortable year round. It has it's own small ac and furnace sepearate from the main house. It heats up and cools down very quickly. At night we shut the pocket doors and let it cool down. We used a programmable thermostat and it is warm when we open the doors in the morning.
It was built in 2007 using anderson windows and (I thnk) velux skylights. The windows are not cold to sit beside. We do have a fire place but we do not use it to heat although it does heat up the room when we do use it.

Horizontal fold-out sofa bed?
I have a fairly long and narrow space that I'd like to use as a living room by day and a bedroom by night - so naturally I'm looking for a sofa bed. I really like the kind where the mattress stores completely inside the sofa, because I can keep the bed made and I won't have to sleep on couch cushions. However, because the room is only about 90" wide, most of those fold-out sofa beds would go right to the wall if they fit at all.
I have plenty of width to work with, so does anyone know of any good "horizontal" fold-out sofa beds, where something like a full-size mattress pops out but you sleep with your head at one end of the couch and your feet at the other?
I haven't been able to find one yet after visiting a few stores. Thanks for any help.

Quick Fixes
Back in 2008, DC Comics had massive success with The Dark Knight. And now that Marvel's space opera about a low-vocabulary tree-man is the highest-grossing movie of the year, DC is more than eager to hop back aboard the hype train, unaware that they've aimed it squarely off a cliff. Their main problems?
#4. DC's Doing the Exact Opposite of What Made Marvel Successful
DC can't just copy Marvel's film formula, so they're contrasting. Namely, DC's embracing the gritty overtones of the Christopher Nolan Bat-trilogy -- which printed a shit-ton of Bat-dollars, reactions to The Dark Knight Rises notwithstanding -- instead of Marvel's pop superheroics.
Also, DC is flip-flopping the structure of The Avengers. In that film, Marvel took an armful of superheroes -- most of whom had prior films to establish their characters -- and tossed them all into the same darn movie. If you hated Thor, it didn't matter -- you could ignore that character and instead relish Iron Man's banter, Captain America's befuddled good looks, or Hawkeye's, uh, Hawk-stuff.

This was a nice dessert after a well-made meal. Justice League is just a high dive into a swimming pool of ice-cream headache.
A decade ago, sci-fi movies like The Island and Minority Report promised us a future where we didn't have to pick up controllers to play video games. Well, guess what: It's here! The future arrived! And it sucks! After the promising start of the Wii, the impressive technological potential of the Kinect, and the "hey guys, we're doing this too, we guess" of the PlayStation Move, it looks like the state of interactive gaming has screeched to a painful halt. Here's why:
#4. The PlayStation 4 Camera Is Used for Porn, Drugs, Weirdness (Anything but Gaming)
The world was introduced to the PlayStation 4's Playroom (a mini-game that uses a camera to show you interacting with cool special effects on your TV) when Ice-T kicked little virtual robots on Jimmy Fallon's show. Remember that? Lots of people do, because the PS4 camera immediately sold out as gamers began broadcasting their Playroom sessions online. Here's how Sony imagined everyone would use this thing:

While we might be quick to whine about our lack of flying cars, hoverboards, lightsabers, time machines, teleporters, self-tying sneakers, personal robot servants, jet packs, and people walking around with three boobs, we have to admit NASA has actually been science-fictioning things up over the last few years. How so?
#8. Morpheus Can Land Like a UFO
Anything stereotypically UFO-like in the history of NASA inventions has been shat on and cooked alive by the underside exhaust flames of NASA's latest "Shit, is that a real UFO?" achievement: Project Morpheus.

2012: A New Bourne Trilogy Begins (Just Like 10 Years Ago)
Back in 2002, America was a nation still reeling from the previous year's September 11 release of Nickelback's third studio album, Silver Side Up. It was the perfect environment for a popcorny espionage thriller like The Bourne Identity to make a killing at the box office, especially when it features Matt Damon riding a guy down a flight of stairs like a magic carpet.

Five-game totals: Two touchdown passes, nine interceptions, no games with a passer rating over 61.4 and one game with a completion percentage over 60.
You want that guy?
I don't.
Add in the fact that he will turn 40 this October and it's a definite stay away. Those numbers belong to Brett Favre in his last five games of 2008 for the New York Jets.
Yet the Minnesota Vikings are reportedly going to meet with Favre to discuss him possibly signing on to be their quarterback. Wasn't Fran Tarkenton available?
Favre is done. He can't throw the ball down the field anymore. The gunslinger has no bullets left. He shoots blanks.
Will Favre ever go away?
What this looks like to me is a desperate attempt by a coach who will likely be out if he doesn't win. Brad Childress needs to make the playoffs, or he's done. So he might think Favre is a better option than Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels? I don't and that's despite thinking the other two aren't very good.
If the Vikings sign Favre, he'd be the third-best starting quarterback in the division behind Chicago's Jay Cutler and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers.
At this time last year, many thought the Packers were nuts to go with Rodgers and let Favre go elsewhere. Ted Thompson was right. Favre is done.
He's also not a great teammate. He's aloof. He's distant. He doesn't hang with the guys. He didn't even dress with them in Green Bay at the end.
You want that, Brad?
This screams desperation. I know Favre said he had a bad throwing shoulder late last year, but is that any better now? Those last five games are telling. The Jets also went 1-4 in them to miss out on the playoffs.
Packers fans will say they'll hate seeing him wearing purple. Don't. It gives your team a better chance to win the division.
Favre to Minnesota improves the playoff chances of the Bears and Packers, not the Vikings.
What are the Vikings doing?
Five-game totals: Two touchdown passes, nine interceptions, no games with a passer rating over 61.4 and one game with a completion percentage over 60.

Brett Favre vs. Tavaris Jackson
I would take an old and annoying Brett Favre over Tavaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels any day of the week. If the Vikings are willing to deal with the press that comes with this guy they should snatch him up and never look back. They aren't going to win with Jackson or Rosenfels... so why not take the chance here?

What are the Vikings doing?
Only time will tell, but I believe Favre purposely played bad during the later part of his season with the Jets. Why, because now he's has a chance to be in Minnesota where he wants to be. I understand most of the haters out there on this situation are Packer fans and people who are tired of the Favre saga but I think it is a good thing for the Vikings. He is better the Jackson and Rosenfels and with Peterson in the backfield he will see 8 in the box quite often. Favre will tear teams up when that happens. Prisco never liked Minnesota so of course he will say the Bears and Packers are better. He is too biased to the point where he should stop writing altogether about the Vikings....This is going to be a good year for the Vikes as long as Tjak isn't behind center!
Since: Jan 9, 2007
Posted on: May 6, 2009 3:59 pm
Hello. He Was Injured....
5 games Brett Favre stunk, "You want that guy," the genius Prisco asks.
Hello, he had a torn bicep muscle. The guy couldn't even throw a football 40 yards with this injury.
Remember when McNabb had a torn throwing thumb ligament and the Eagles started out 1-3, then Limbaugh said he sucked and is only considered good because he's black (then McNabb won 10 in row after his thumb healed). Tomlinson sucked most of the year in 2008 while he was injured. I could name 100 people here who were injured and tried to play their sports, but did not play well. You get the picture....
What about when Farve was healthy and went into Tennesse and won the game? He was the best QB in the league for the first 10 games. He was easily one of the top 5 qbs in football, period.
Sign Favre, if he's injury free, you've got oneof the top 5 qb's in the league. If he gets hurt, bench him.
YES PRISCO, I WANT THAT GUY... And I want Michael Turner and Mario Williams too. Two other Prisco guaranteed busts that he didn't want either....

By all means...
...if Brett Favre still has gas in the tank and his shoulder/arm can handle it, I wouldnt mind watching him play until he's the first ever to complete a game with a breathing apparatus. Certainly he would be an improvement over Gus Frerotte, Tavaris Jackson, or Sage Rosenfels and more entertaining to boot, but Im beginning to believe his motivation to scratch an itch is out of some spite for Green Bay.
Also, I really dont understand how he expects a team to put their progress on hold to bring him in only for a year, until he decides to retire thrice THEN ask for a release. Obviously this was easy for the Jets because they apparently had no intention on letting Kellen Clemens get the start and planned on drafting a Mark Sanchez or some other high profile QB. If this is any indication of whats to come, Rosenfels, Jackson and Frerotte might want to start saving money, looking for other jobs and expect a Colt McCoy or Tim Tebow to be playing for the Vikings next year.
If this does happen, I'm curious as to how this will affect the dynamic of the team. With the Jets it was perfectly alright for him to put it in the air 75% of the time...Thomas Jones and Leon Washington were mediocre. Minnesota however is Adrian Peterson's team and I would really hate to piss my franchise running back off by bringing in a hot dogging Favre on a vendetta. On the other hand, I'd hate to bring in Favre, keep my run first philosophy, then have him tank us because he cant make all the plays. Sounds like a lose-lose to me.

GO LIONS? I'm sorry have I missed something how many games did the lions win last year? If Brett favre wanted to play for detroit you would be thrilled and by the way the Lions may even win a couple games. Unfortunately I do have to watch two Lions game this year because the Vikings have to play them twice but that's good, 2 easy wins GO VIKINGS!!! P.S If Favre does come here and lets just say he does get hurt we still have T Jack and Sage and that is where were at now and would still win this division.

When did all these english/grammar professors start reading Prisco. AND more importantly WHY??????
He's not a real writer or he would write about something. He is just a slack jawed fool w/a grade school education and an english primer course from some third world nation.( He will probably defend soccer as the number one sport in the world).
Please don't expect perfect grammar from any of us that even happen to read his crap or leat of all from him.

Here is exactly what they're doing
Most of the time, Pete, I defend you against the majority of clowns who cry for your head in ridiculous posts, however, this was not a very well-thought out article. You base Favre's decline on stats from his last five games, yet still diss on Jackson, whose last 5 regular season starts were this. 9 TD's, 1 INT, 64% completion ratio, and 109 QB rating. Can't have it both ways, buddy.
The truth is, Favre instantly make the Vikings Super Bowl contenders for a few very basic reasons, none of which has to do with his actual talent at this stage of his career. His presence ALONE will prevent defenses from stacking the box against the Vikings run game. Harvin in the slot and/or motion further spreads the defense, and forces one-on-one coverage on other receivers. Favre will not HAVE to throw much, yet his experience dictates that he CAN and WILL make you pay for over playing the running game, and defenses know this. You put AP against a 7-man front, and huge plays are only one good block away.
As a life-long Viking fan, I'm not sure I want Favre, but I've always admired his toughness and competiveness, and if he chooses to don that purple uniform, I can certainly see the benefits for our offensive game. As much as I love the progress Jackson has made (btw, no way Rosenfels starts next year, with or without Favre), he still struggles with the two-minute offense, and that is another area where the Vikings would be better served with Favre. He brings a command to the huddle and the WILL to pull it off.
As for why Favre wants another season. I honestly believe he wants to exit the game ala Elway, as a winner, and I think he believes the Vikings give him the best chance to accomplish.

Product Description
In Q-Bitz players use their special blocks to recreate patterns, claim cards and win the game.
In the first round, someone reveals a Q-Bitz card (out of a deck of 100 cards), then players race to assemble their specially colored blocks in the pattern shown on that card; the first player to do so claims the card. In the second round, players must roll their blocks like dice to find the images that they need to recreate the pattern on the card. In the third round, all players look at the card for ten seconds to try to memorize the pattern, then they work on recreating that pattern by memory; the round ends when someone calls for it to end, with the player who successfully recreated more of the pattern than anyone else claiming the card.
After three sets of three rounds, the player who claimed the most cards wins the game.

Help! Lower Limbs of Pines Were Cut - Will They Grow Back?
We have a stand of big, beautiful old pine trees in our front yard. Unfortunately, my husband just went out and impulsively cut ALL the limbs off the bottom few feet of each tree. Our entire backyard is now visible to the street, the privacy screening effect is gone, the noise from the street is no longer muffled, and our children have lost the "enchanted forest" they loved to play in. The trees are still there, however the branches now start about 3- 4 feet above the ground so it has lost the natural beauty it used to have.
I'm extremely sad. I HATE the new look. We had the trees professionally pruned this spring, and actually paid to have the higher branches thinned so the lower limbs would fill in a bit. So yes, hubby's in the dog house. But in the meantime, I am searching everywhere trying to figure out if there's any hope for the lower limbs growing back in and if there's anything I can do to encourage regrowth at the bottom.
Please help! Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Sorry... they will never return.
"Having higher branches thinned so the lower limbs would fill in a bit" is a misnomer. That never works either.
By the way is it the front yard or the back yard you are dealing with? Not tracking well here.

Immediate Crisis Response - Overview
UNDP works to help ensure that the humanitarian response to the emergency also contributes to longer-term development objectives and more resilient communities, laying the best possible ground work for development work beyond the immediate emergency; and helping people move from humanitarian dependency to self-sufficiency as soon as possible.UNDP works to help ensure that the humanitarian response to the emergency also contributes to longer-term development objectives and more resilient communities, laying the best possible ground work for development work beyond the immediate emergency; and helping people move from humanitarian dependency to self-sufficiency as soon as possible.
UNDP ensures public services are functioning as early as possible; affected people are given emergency employment, an income, and trained in construction techniques and other skills to start the process of rebuilding infrastructure and removing rubble; and small businesses are given start up grants, financing and other help to keep communities viable and functioning.
UNDP advisors also work with and train local public servants to make sure that the buildings, infrastructure and communities being reconstructed meet a minimal code of disaster resistance, and that where possible, the underlying triggers of a conflict or disaster are addressed.
UNDP's immediate crisis response package:
- Emergency employment, start-up grants and loans to recapitalize local businesses
- Community infrastructure rehabilitation, to improve access to basic services as well as revitalize the local economy
- Debris management, to ease access and rebuild infrastructure
- Local governance support, strengthening local government capacity for relief and recovery planning, coordination and implementation, improving the capacity for local risk management

Nothing scandalous about kinky sex. Happens a million times every week. Yah I am old fat and ugly but a TV producer would not cast me in a relationship with Katy Perry or Olivia Wilde. Would make no sense what so ever. Just like the casting in the show of an unattractive overweight actress I had never seen before. Maybe I am missing something. Why not cast an attractive actress in an episode about powerful men and sex???
Definitely did not meet the character of a women a powerful man would touch. VERY confusing casting. There must be thousands of attractive actresses they could have cast. I am very confused.
What a stupid episode. What was the "Scandal" anyway??? Consensual sex. Not paid for. No one was even mentioned to be a married man. The one mentioned a family but that is not necessarily married. Maybe the Scandal was all these powerful men would go anywhere near such an unattractive obese women?? Why would that embarrassment be so scandalous. We have all done that at least once.

Around this time last year I asked for readers to fill a survey. One hundred and thirty people participated and really helped me understand what readers are looking for.
I used to be obsessed with getting a lot of readers, but I've been thinking lately that connecting with my existing readers is a lot more important. This stems partly from the nagging feeling that people who come here aren't getting everything they want out of the experience. Still, they're coming back, which means that they probably feel like I have the ability to deliver it.
So this year's survey is to help me understand better what BTYB means to people. I've kept it as short as possible in the hopes that many people (that means you!) will take the time to fill it out. Feel free to write one sentence or pages,I will give every submission my full attention and consideration, and I often make changes based on a single person's opinion.
You can go to the survey here, or you can fill it in below. All questions are optional. I hope you'll fill them out, but if you don't have an answer or much time, leave some blank.
Above all, thanks for reading. I consider it a privilege to write for you.
P.S. To the anonymous guy who left me a message today,great suggestion! I will write a post about it soon.
same here. I had to copy my answers over to IE to post it because the submit button didn't fit in the rectangle for the form.
If anyone is having trouble submitting, click somewhere on the form and tab down to the submit button. It didn't fit in the window for me.
Last week I had an interesting talk with Ramit and Matt in New York. At one point the conversation turned to Matt's site, and Ramit started asking him a few questions about it. Actually, it was more like an interrogation.

"Someone who's looking for travel information."
Dan Redford has built a life at the intersection of China/Michigan relations, doing international U.S./China business in raising millions of dollars of investment from Chinese clients into the United States. Knowing he wanted to be involved in U.S./China business, his first large opportunity came as a result of being a paid attendee covering the Shanghai Expo, and connecting with traditional media throughout Michigan as part of that trip. All along the way, he's connected with great people, lent a helping hand, and taken leadership roles in organizations.
In this interview to promote his GiveGetWin deal, a Group Class on Establishing Leadership and Influence, he tells his journey towards leadership and influence positions, and gives you extremely practical guidelines on doing that in your life.

My family really helped me become a leader. My younger brother is a famous basketball player where we're from. As the oldest of our family, it was a really big challenge for me. Seeing my younger brother rise as an athlete in the community and I didn't have to the skills to do that, it hurt.
I didn't pursue playing basketball in high school for a year because I anticipated my younger brother would be starting as a freshman and not wanting to compete with him.

Funny of the day
A well-worn one dollar bill and a similarily distressed twenty dollar bill arrived at the Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved down the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation.
The twenty dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country. "I've had a pretty good life'" the twenty exclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performance on Broadway, and even a cruise on the Carribean."
"wow!" said the one dollar bill, "you've really had an exciting life!"
"So tell me," says the twenty, "Where have you been throughout your lifetime?"
The one dollar bill replies "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Presbyterian Church and the Lutheran Church."
The twenty dollar bill interruped to query, "What's a church?"
That'd be a fiver ... or a tenner ... for the Anglicans/(Episcopalians, to many of you), the Catholics (of the Roman variety), etc. do ya figger?
(You do have $2.00 bills don't you?).
Up here ... the $1.00 ... and the $2.00 ... items ... are both coins!
Some complain that when one's change purse gets full ... folks re inclined to walk with a bit of a list.
And some are agitating for making the $5.00 bill a coin!
And pennies are ... gone: useless, it seems!

So they moved $190 billion over the span of several years, willfully tried to cover any transaction-tracking information (with the conscious approval of some high-level leadership), and with others of that same leadership just pretending (i.e. warning, but not following up) to care about the illegality of the bank's actions. The punishment- one year's profits, a few demotions and "relocations", and the possibility of BNP being unable to clear dollars for part of its business (oil and gas) for an year.
How are any of these sanctions really significant I can not understand. One year's profits- did anyone care to find out how much they made on these $190 billion, so the $9 billion fine can be put into the context of the crime's profits (instead of just trumpeting how huuuge the amount was)? People demoted and "pushed out the door"- interestingly enough not much is said about the number and posiitons of these "pariahs" (aside from the then CEO). Which leads me to think of a more qualitative approach, rather than anything substantial. I mean, that was $190 billion, several years and what, half a dozen people get a slap on the wrist!? Either way, noone went to jail (surprise, surprise!).
And while the effect of the ban on dollar clearing is still to be experienced, we've all seen that banks are pretty inventive in coming up with ways to game the system/sanctions/anyone/anything that is intended to prevent the way they want to do business. So while that might sound like a rather burdensome penalty now (the TE and others definitely make it sound that way), by the time it is implemented, I wouldn't be surprised if the edge has been blinted quite a bit. In other words- sounds really, really bad now, but who knows how it's going to turn out 6-7 months down the road...
So stop crying, BNP got off really, really easy. The French are complaining because it was a French bank, they wouldn't give a damn if it was a British or a German, or a Swiss one. Fair or not, as long as one is dealing with dollars, one has to expect the extra scrutiny from US regulators. And BNP knew that.
The bigger (and most will admit, rather obvious) problem here, is why wasn't a larger penalty imposed..?
BNP Parisbas helped to enable the Darfur genocide. Point final.
The amount of transactions with sanctioned countries was 9 billion USD. So BNP Paribas did not get off lightly. For comparison Wachovia (an American bank which is now part of Wells Fargo) laundered 378 billion USD for the Mexican drug cartels and it was fined a mere 110 million USD. I think it is pretty obvious that there is a double standard when it comes to foreign and domestic banks.
"America is imposing its foreign policy via the international financial system and its dominant currency" : this statement is true and alarming. The number of black list countries falling under US embargoes is growing at an alarming rate - proportional to the world wide extension of islamic terrorist threat. The US is thus drawing foreign independent countries - nolens volens - into its own crusade. This is all the more so disturbing as US foreign policy is increasingly dictated by powerful domestic and foreign lobbies operating through the Senate with little concern for balanced international relations. JGG
The chart shows $75.8 billion in fines to banks since 2012 with all negotiated settlements and no trials. It is possible that the firms knew they were guilty and negotiated a cash settlement. It is also possible that the legal cases were very weak and the banks saw that foregoing profits in the short term was less damaging to shareholders than the threat of losing their license to operate in the USA. It is a prudent decision for the banks. It makes the US dept of justice look more like thugs. It would be nice to see one of these cases actually go to trial.
The US is a country of bullies and mafiosi
Institutions do not break laws – individuals do. Bankers who commit crimes should be jailed like any other criminals.
Until this happens, behaviour of bankers will not change.
Bankers' compensation is still based on short-term performance, all upside and no downside.
Governments and regulators can pass as many regulations as they want, nothing will change!
Now France can punish American companies with giga fines for violating French sanctions.
I need to set the record straight here - it is American Government, not all Americans. As is typical of most countries the citizens are powerless and the government is all powerful. As an American I am ashamed of the American government and how it's treatment of other counties has reflected on the American people, who in all rights just want to live and be left alone by government and not be hated for the actions of those that are making choices that are not typical of the American.
american regulations on money laundhttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-07-06/one-germans-take-latest-us-spying-scandal
ry are selective, Obama needs money for his healthcare agenda, and he rackets the foreign banks and corporations when he can't get his budget passed through the congress
The US are less and less respected , as it appears more and more as a bully, see my above link
The world is going to boycott commerce with the US
maurice, soon you will be able to live as a billionnaire in the US with your rents in euros
Usually JGG isn't defending french policies, too bad for you he is flaming your lobbycracy of mafiosi
The USA is fast running out of friends to support its 'exorbitant privelege'. Having alienated the Germans over NSA-eavesdropping, 'boomerang'd the Russians into de-dollarization, tariffed and quantitatively eased China into diversification, and finally 'punished' France into discussing the dollar's demise; it appears no lessor person than the CEO of Total (the world's 13th biggest oil producer and Europe's 2nd largest), believes "There is no reason to pay for oil in dollars."
It's very good for ... America, as it drains Russia's gold and foreign currency reserves. Same with London's City attracting cash and investment capital from Russia and reinvesting it elsewhere.
Learn some basics of international finance and macroeconomics. Russia's economy is in recession and keeps shrinking. Canada's 2013 GDP was just 10% lower than Russia's with its population 20% of Russia's. Who's pathetic and why?
BNP is guilty as sin. The open secret in international banking is that BNP is not the only or the worst offender of various draconian American regulations on money laundry and sanction busting. If the American government applies the same yardstick to other major American banks, that could cut the American government deficit significantly.
A - Ha!! - Ha!! - Ha!! - Ha!! - Ha!! - Ha!! - Ha!! - Ha!! - Ha!! - Ha!!
you didn't save the Frog backsides, you were there for the commies !
you paid the French up to 80% of their warfare there, cuz it was a good war, I repeat, against the commies Viets, that you ALSO subsidied duringtha Japan war,
So it's your usual tricks, subsiying them first, then fighting them to death...
In 1954, the French didn't flee away like you did in Saigon, the French fought until the last, and Petraeus honnored Bigeard for his work in Viet Nam, in fact Bigeard is his hero, that inspired him for the Irak las years of war
oh that bloody pastry of 192... hey remember, De Gaulle started "de-dollarisation", he sent back your paper-toilet for gold... that is why Nixon disindexed the dollar from gold
oh that laos thing, what for? hey there were quite a significant number of french volontaries fighting along the yanks in Korea
We can't sustain loyalty to people like you that backstab any allie at convienency, never saw that Russia did that to her allies
better be a authentic effeminete poof than a inflated fatty with artificial testoserone, and that need enemas for curing his constipation
Bellow wood, yeah you won WW1, all by your self
LMAO, you came late, in august, when the hard work was already doe since spring 1918
The marine in Belleau woods might have been brave, but they mainly fought unsuful combats that could have been avoided, if the US war lords were lesser stubborn, and had inserted their contribution into the global armies
your braveness and gloray are mainly Hollywood scenaries
and I revert Nuland's flame "f***the US"
This is a good time to start de-dollarisation of foreign trades. Do not trade using US dollars. Do trade using manufacturer's currency or buyer's currency. Or use some alternative currencies such as euro, Chinese yuan, Russian rubles, or British ponds, or Japanese Yen. If you stop using US dollars, America will be awash with US dollars. US dollar will tank. US Inflation will go sky high. Economy will collapse. Show your potential power!
and you're a naive Brit to believe that
point final
Russia will be floating belly-up dead in the cesspool of its own making before it happens. As far as China is concerned, it doesn't have any motivation to move away from the greenback for at least three reasons;
1. It holds over $1,1 trillion of US government debt and this alone would trigger a chain reaction potentially leading to its economic collapse and social unrests;
2. China's national currency's exchange rates are partially pegged to the USD and in case the Yanks yank the rag from under the yuan, Chinese exports would have become uncompetitive in global markets, and,
3. China is owned in large part by Walmart, Costco, Macy's and other global retailers, mostly headquartered in the US.
Russia is a small, open economy unable to absorb even a tiny fraction of Chinese exports, and a totalitarian state that has already fetched its international pariah status among all civilised nations.
If the US Congress eventually legislates sectoral sanctions against Russia what will likely happen later this year if Obama drags his feet too long, they will last for decades as it's the case with, today unnecessary, sanctions against Cuba imposed by Congress but over 50 years ago.
If the sanctions are legislated, Russia's GDP may fall below Canada's and no number of nuclear warheads will change this simple fact.
BTW, if Ukraine wants to re-arm in nukes, it doesn't need Donbas and Luhansk to do so, as most nuclear research and production facilities are located in Odessa and western Ukraine. Russia opened the door to this by annexing Crimea and nullifying the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
LOL! Two more French banks and the world's largest bank, German Deutsche Bank, are targeted. Don't you see the writing on the wall that these are just warning shots fired by the US regulators towards France and Germany before the US unilaterally slaps sectoral sanctions on Russia? BTW, the fine BNP Paribas will pay amounts to over five times the value of the Mistral contract. France, so far, is scoring pretty well.

A Privilege to Die
Inside Hezbollah's Legions and Their Endless War Against Israel
By Thanassis Cambanis

HOW HAS HEZBOLLAH, WHICH HAS NOW WON TWO WARS WITH ISRAEL, managed to become the most dynamic movement in the Islamic world, why do millions share its beliefs, and what do they want? The Islamic revolutionary movement has become the most powerful source of militancy in the Middle East, forging a mass following and global appeal. A Privilege to Die offers the first on-the-ground look at the men and women whose fervor has made Lebanon's Party of God the gold standard for radical movements across the region and the world.
Through deep and vivid portraits of those who do Hezbollah's grassroots work—on the battlefields, in politics, in nightclubs, and with scout troops—Thanassis Cambanis, a veteran Middle-East correspondent, puts a human face on the movement that has ushered in a belligerent renaissance and inspired fighters in Gaza, the West Bank, Egypt, Iraq, and beyond. This riveting, remarkable narrative provides an urgent and important exploration of militancy in the Middle East.
"Depressingly excellent… Lays out the near-brilliant way in which Hezbollah manages to be both the party of the downtrodden and the puppet of two of the area's most retrograde dictatorships. Cambanis shows how the trick is pulled."—Christopher Hitchens, Slate, author of Hitch-22 and God Is Not Great
"An indispensable guide to understanding the region's most formidable extra-state actor. Cambanis skillfully pinpoints the reasons for Hezbollah's political success. . . . In prose that is often eloquent yet earthy, indicative of scholarly erudition as well as a storyteller's flair for capturing the complexities of human psychology, Cambanis describes the seemingly contradictory impulses he discovers."

one of my new favourite shirts!!!! it's a casual thin denim shirt that goes with a lot of outfits. my only warning is that it does come with a bit of a smell, but it's machine washable so it goes away after a few wears.

this shirt looks so cool and i couldn't wait to get it in the mail. THIS SHIRT IS SO SMALL. i do not understand how it is one size fits all, and it also looked different than how it looked in the picture. the pocket was different and the cut was very different. i am so bummed! the print is perfect and the fabric was so soft. wish it was larger, like boyfriend style, for a nice baggy look.

Shanghai lacks self-confidence in how it restricts news of Taiwan bookstore
By restricting news of the opening of an iconic Taiwanese bookstore in Shanghai Tower, how does the city expect to compete with Hong Kong?
Most Popular
I like Taipei. The city may not be as modern and fashionable as Hong Kong or Shanghai, but it has something that the other two cities may have already lost. The thing is called culture.
My friend Yan Fei, who has written two books about Hong Kong, once described today's Hong Kong as a big shopping mall. "The whole city is like a shopping mall. Wherever you go, it's all about brands and money," he said.
Then he asked me how I felt about my hometown Shanghai? Well, I think the city has been like a vast construction site for years, and one of many "next to-be-completed" big projects is the record-breaking 632-metre Shanghai Tower.
Last week, the Shanghai Tower, which is set to become the new icon for the city when it opens by 2015, caught my attention with good and bad news. The good news is the tower will get a special tenant - Taiwan's bookstore chain Eslite, already a cultural icon of the self-ruling island. Surprise?
The bad news followed within 24 hours, when the propaganda department of the Shanghai government quietly told senior editors of the city's major media outlets through short messages that nothing about Eslite's store in Shanghai should be reported.
Responding to news of the order, Eslite executives in Taipei said they would definitely obey mainland laws when launching the Shanghai branch, which clearly suggests that some books won't be on the shelves of Eslite's Shanghai branch when it opens in 2015.
Some media critics joked about Eslite's plan to open its Shanghai branch. "No surprise. Eslite Bookstore in Shanghai will be like just another Xinhua Bookstore in China," noted one commentator on Sina Weibo.
Xinhua Bookstore is the mainland's largest state-owned bookstore chain where you will only find local or foreign books approved for sale by the government. You won't find books about dissident Wang Dan or spiritual leader Dalai Lama in a Xinhua store and I am sure you won't find them in an Eslite store in Shanghai either.
To this day Hong Kong bookstores are still free to sell books of their choice, which is why many mainland travellers now consider Eslite's Hong Kong branch in Causeway Bay a must-go place to buy some "forbidden books".
That is how Hong Kong can still make a difference today for the rest of China.
Shanghai is also keen to make a difference, ranging from its strong ambition to beat Hong Kong as one of the world's three most important financial centre cities by 2020; The other two being New York and London.
A Shanghai government official said to me during a recent chat about the growing competition between Shanghai and Hong Kong: "What competition? Competition with Hong Kong? Of course not. We consider New York and London as competitors for Shanghai on the same level. Hong Kong won't be on the same level."
If Shanghai does not have the self-confidence to handle the news about Eslite's Shanghai branch, how can it be confident enough to compete with New York and London? Judging from the blackout ordered on Eslite, what Shanghai lacks today is not a bookstore (or money of course) but self-confidence.

And even if it were a race, illusions of grandeur notwithstanding, Shanghai is nowhere near London or New York as a city, nor as a financial centre. In the March 2013 Global Financial Centres Index, Hong Kong ranked 3rd, after London and New York.
Shanghai ranked 24th, just behind sandbox Dubai, albeit ahead of Melbourne (well done...). So let's revisit in 15 years? Or 25? To begin with, the mainland will have to float its currency and open up its capital account. Minor details huh.
Next up, the EIU's Liveability Index, where Hong Kong takes the (already shameful) 29th spot. Shanghai comes in at number 71.
The Chicago Council's Global Cities Index then. Hong Kong: #5. Shanghai #21, barely ahead of Buenos Aires.
Need I go on? Hong Kong is a top tier world city/financial centre. We can quibble over how it compares with Singapore or Tokyo. But Shanghai is at best a second rate city from a global perspective. More like third tier really. Compete with London or New York? I don't think there is much to compete about (location matters, you know), but even if there were: maybe in 25 years. Big maybe.
When government officials make claims, journalists should challenge and test them, not suck it up and repeat them.
The real story is less sexy, but nonetheless concerning: doing business on the mainland remains a dirty game, and without corrupt friends in the government, you had better forget about it. Somebody with ties to Xinhua Bookstore probably does not like having any sort of competition for that monopolistic government enterprise. Strings were pulled, and any potential free publicity for Eslite was stopped. Simple.

This lightly fragranced, creamy lipstick has a smooth consistency that leaves lips feeling lightly hydrated, not heavy, greasy, or tacky. The shades go on evenly with a semi-opaque finish and a subtle hint of shine that looks natural.
You can count on a solid couple hours of wear before you need a touch-up, and the pigmentation is rich enough that you're left with a faint stain of color as it wears away. Variety is on your side, with several attractive colors that complement a wide range of skin tones.
The "Automatique" part of this lipstick's name comes from the gliding lever that pushes the lipstick out of the tube and then recedes when you pull the lever down. If you tend to lose lipstick caps, you'll appreciate this added feature.
The only drawback is the price; you'll find equally superior lipsticks at the drugstore, but if the allure of Guerlain proves too strong, this won't disappoint.
Guerlain At-A-Glance
Strengths: Lavish packaging (if that appeals to you); a good mascara; some excellent lipsticks.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; over-reliance on jar packaging; pervasive fragrance; overall mediocre to just plain bad skincare.
Guerlain's Paris pedigree, having evolved from a centuries-old fragrance house to a "lifestyle" line that prides itself on luxurious indulgences that promise to beautify (and perfume) almost every inch of you, still manages to hook plenty of unsuspecting women. Yet behind all of the enticing names and extraordinary claims lie some of the most unremarkable, overpriced skin-care products available. It may sound luxurious to find that gold is included in some of their formulations, unless you happen to know that when it's applied topically, gold is simply a potent allergen; there is no research showing it to have any effect on wrinkles or aging.
Guerlain's skin-care products contain a preponderance of ordinary cosmetic ingredients, with only a smattering of antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, and anti-irritants, and most of these elegant ingredients are hindered by jar packaging. It's one thing to spend more than you need to on a skin-care routine, but at least if you decide to do so you should shop the overpriced lines that will reward you with far better formulations than what Guerlain offers. Guerlain is the very definition of style usurping substance. For example, there are dozens and dozens of moisturizers in this line that are at best described as mediocre and out of date, while the sunscreens have issues of their own, including low SPF ratings and potentially insufficient UVA protection due to smaller-than-usual amounts of avobenzone. And despite the specialty claims they make for each product grouping, repetitive formulations are the hallmark of the Guerlain line—too bad not a single moisturizer or serum formula comes close to beating the competition; more often than not they fail miserably.
Guerlain has been under the ownership of Sephora parent company Louis Vuitton-Moet-Hennessy since 1994, and is available in many Sephora boutiques.

Rafael Nadal falls to shock Wimbledon defeat by Lukas Rosol
- Venue: All England Club, London
- Date: 25 June - 8 July
Coverage: Live on BBC One, BBC Two, BBC HD Channel, red button, BBC Radio 5 live, mobiles, tablet and the BBC Sport website
Two-time Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal was handed a shock second-round defeat by world number 100 Lukas Rosol in a five-set thriller.
Nadal could not contain a barrage of relentless, brutal groundstrokes from the Czech, 26, on his Wimbledon debut.
Rosol moved into a two-one lead but Nadal fought back to win the fourth.
Wimbledon shocks
- In 2002, world number 145 George Bastl beat seven-time Wimbledon champion Pete Sampras in five sets after receiving a wildcard into the draw.
- In 2003, defending champion Lleyton Hewitt was beaten in the first round by world number 203 Ivo Karlovic. Hewitt became the first defending Wimbledon champion since tennis turned professional in 1968 to lose in the first round.
- An unseeded 17-year-old Boris Becker became the youngest winner of the men's singles at Wimbledon in 1985, and retained his crown 12 months later, but suffered a shock second-round defeat by Australian Peter Doohan in 1987.
- Richard Krajicek beat Pete Sampras in the 1996 quarter-final before going on to become the first Dutchman to win Wimbledon. That was Sampras's only loss at the tournament between 1993 and 2001.
- Three-time Wimbledon runner-up Goran Ivanisevic won the title in 2001 to become the lowest-ranked player and only wildcard to win Wimbledon.
Play was suspended while the roof was closed and it was Rosol who settled first to win the final set and the match 6-7 (9-11) 6-4 6-4 2-6 6-4.
The result now opens up the draw for Britain's world number four Andy Murray, who was seeded to meet the Spaniard in the semi-final and beat Ivo Karlovic in four sets earlier in the day.
Rosol, who is making his main draw debut at Wimbledon after losing in the first round of qualifying for the last five years, will play Philipp Kohlschreiber next after the German beat Malek Jaziri of Tunisia.
It was the first time Nadal had lost before the third round of a Grand Slam since he was beaten by Gilles Mueller in the second round at Wimbledon in 2005.
Nadal, who won the Wimbledon title in 2008 and 2010, arrived at the All England Club in good form having sealed his seventh French Open title.
Rosol, meanwhile, has never got past the third round of a Grand Slam and has remained a relative unknown since turning pro in 2004, although he was ranked as high as 65 last year.
"I don't know what to say," Rosol told BBC Sport. "I'm not just surprised but it's like a miracle. I never expected something like this. There are so many emotions - I don't know what to say.
"[Nadal] is a superstar and I'm very sorry for him. I played unbelievably today. I hope I can play another match like this.
"I'm very happy for my support. Before the match I was thinking to play three good sets so I don't lose 3-0.
"I know Nadal is only human. Nadal played a good match but I think I was a little bit better."
"These great championships have produced huge, huge upsets, but this is one of the greatest in history. How typical of Nadal. At one of his lowest moments, he is still signing autographs. It's a mark of the gentleman he is and the sportsman he is. But he wasn't good enough on the day. And for Lukas Rosol to be ranked 100 in the world is a joke."
Nadal, who had to overcome a slow start to beat Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil in the first round, struggled with his groundstrokes in the first set but managed to steal the tie-break 11-9 with a blistering forehand winner.
Undeterred, Rosol continued to go for his shots, breaking Nadal in the first game and holding on to win the set 6-4 with some tremendous hitting.
The Czech seemed oblivious to the enormity of the situation as he continued his ferocious hitting from all over the court to take an early break and then the set to lead 2-1.
However, mistakes began to creep into the 26-year-old Rosol's game and 11-time Grand Slam winner Nadal pounced, breaking twice to force a decider.
With the light deteriorating, officials decided to halt the match and close the roof to allow the match to reach a conclusion.
The players returned 43 minutes later, with Rosol breaking Nadal immediately and then holding on to secure a famous victory on Centre Court just after 22:00 BST.
