A device made for the express reason of drinking mass quantities of beer quickly. Most easily created using a two-liter bottle and 24 inches of rubber hose. Cut the bottle in half and attach the hose to the neck of the bottle with duct tape. This way, one can pour in many beers at once, and also mark off the levels of the successful beer bongs. No need to "trap the foam off": just drink 'til the foam comes, and then blow it out.
Dude, I passed john's record on the beer bong

Putin - the KGB in a business suit - nothing has really changed in the "Soviet Union."
Putin has launched his corruption politic only against people who operate against him. He has never touch his own environment by this way eliminating his opposition and enemy and only increasing his power and influence.In fact, anyone who told something against Putin dismiss from position immediately, moreover, it makes public on media channels and sense that struggleagainst corruption works. In Russia corruption is daily phenomenon and it is difficult to image that people can do anything without bribes.
An example of how media publicity is stage-managed in Russia for political gain was Gazprom's premature public announcement last week about immediate start of the South Stream project even though vital EU approvals of the route and environmental Black Sea coast related issues are still pending.
One suggested reason is that Russia's publicity move was related to a EU probe accusing Gazprom of anti-competitive practices in supplying gas to Central and Eastern Europe. GAZPROM'S Miller wanted to show Putin that he could retalliate.
Russian government has apparently decided to show that they can do it their way by dealing directly with transit countries like Bulgaria, Serbia and Austria where the pipe will be built, instead of the European Commission that has overall legislative powers. The EU states are expected to submit documents to Brussels in February, 2013 and the EU commission then will have nine months to raise its doubts and concerns. Gazprom will have to wait another year.
Also a detailed plan for the entire route must be submitted to Brussels, which must approve environmental and social impact studies by national regulators in each EU country.
Gazprom's push to announce the start of pipeline construction could have been related to Putin's 'order' that construction should begin by the end of 2012. To preserve Putin's prestige domestically Gazprom arranged a public 'startup', even though actual pipeline construction is not in the cards.
Its nothing more than a political attempt (another Russian "Potiomkin Village" scheme) to preserve the Kremlin's domestic and international credibility.
Didomyk, I understand your continuous indignation and your appeal to Brussels for procrastination. According to you, EU red tape is even worse than in Russia. Now it's clear why NABUCCO has been delayed and still under a question. However, Ukraine gains nothing from either of projects. I like you being acrimonious. South Stream is on the way to Europe. And it's in Europe's interest especially in global climate changing. You can warm yourself up with horilka.
NABUCCO offers supply diversification, my friend ! End of GAZprom monopoly ! End of price manipulations ! It will also bury once and for all Gazprom dreams of controlling gas distribution systems in Central and Western Europe. Try and learn more about the significance of the term "competition" in economic development. Competition will be good for Russia too. Trust me !
Whom else I can trust!
Good point, kuzmich. TRUST your friend !
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
Apart from Kremlin's grandiose media publicity about Gazprom's long promised (but so far fictional) South Stream project under the Black Sea to the Bulgarian coast (read my other post above), it has become known that not long ago Putin has also decided that Gazprom should develop potentially large Chayadinsk gas field in Yakutia at the projected cost of at least $40 billion. The task would include building a pipeline all the way from Yakutia to Vladivostok where a new LNG terminal would be built serving to export gas to China and Japan. In what looks like more Putin's fictional plans, this huge project is supposed to be completed by 2017. Given Yakutia's climate and difficult terrain, Western analysts estimate the project's real cost not at $40 bill. but at over $65 billion with construction time of up to ten years.
Concerned that Gazprom may have already lost out on the Chinese LNG market, Russian politicians ignore a reality that Yakutian gas is currently projected to cost four to five times the current price of natural gas in the U.S.. The project is unlikely to ever become competitive with LNG supplies from Australia, Quatar and potentially from Canada's west coast. The Chinese already get cheaper Turkmen gas through an existing pipeline that is likely to be expanded.
With the South Stream project and other Gazprom's investment commitments, its total capital expenditures are projected to be about $45 billion a year for the next five years, well in excess of its net profits. Given that Gazprom usually exceeds capital expenditure projections while missing its annual production targets, Putin's over-ambitious investment targets may yet drive Gazprom into bankruptcy within the next few years cutting off Gazprom's currently substantial annual contributions to the total state revenues.
As a former KGB,Putin stabilized his power by fighting with Chechnya for Russia's unity,which means he is a strong man not only to his enemy but also to his colleagues.In 2006,former agent of Russia Litvinenko was killed by FBS,
Putin will never let anyone threat his govern.But the latest election gave his a lesson that the corruption is the real threat to him.However,if he fight against the corruption,he may lose his dominate to Russia for many embezzlers are his political allies.But the country would collapse,if Putin let corruption slide.In a word,Putin is in a dilemma.
"..former KGB,Putin stabilized his power by fighting with Chechnya for Russia's unity.."
The Chechens have a long history of fighting Russian occupation. The Chechens were suppressed by Stalin, exiled en mass into Central Asian steppes, banned from returning to their homeland, murdered by the thousands by Russian OMON troops. What nonsense are you talking about ? Get real, learn hiastory's facts ! Chechnia, Ingushetia, Degestan and other peoples of the Caucasus are not Russians, they have repeatedly proven their strong will to be free by taking up arms against Russian occupation.
Leave it to the Economist to turn a story about a wonderful turn of events in Russia into a negative piece about its initiator, who is almost certainly doing it selflessly to his own detriment. (And perhaps because he is indeed facing his mortality or no longer cares about using his best judgement to better himself--interesting points but negatively presented.) Your bias makes me sick. The cold war ended two decades ago, you ideolog tabloid hacks.
Can't hold my laughter about the anger and jealousy of Putin coming form the inept broke western losers.
They whine while Russia laughs all the way to the bank and Forbes recognizes Putin as the third most powerful person in the World circa 2012.
West can be funny if not so pathetic, heh, heh, heh :D
dr dubie, I'll tell you why the Economist turns the anti corruption campaign in Russia into a negative piece. There's going to be less Russian individuals to bring misappropriated funds to the UK. Won't be possible to skim off the creams.
Russia's Prime Minister Medvedev has disclosed top secret info on files on aliens that may have landed in Russia !!!
In footage recorded Friday after a television interview, Medvedev, the former president, joked that each Russian leader gets two folders with information about extra-terrestrials that visited our planet — and stayed here.
He was heard telling a TV journalist he could not tell "how many of them are among us, because it may cause panic." He also said more details could be found in Barry Sonnenfeld's "Men in Black" films.
Is it safe to assume that at least some of these extra-terrestrials are contributing regular pro-Putin comments on TE Blogs ???
I have always wondered Didomyk to which nezalezhnaya galaxy you belong.
The answer can be found in Barry Sonnenfeld's "Men in Black" film.
We tend to forget that Russia ,like Britain,is part of Europe and hence 'The West'.In the emerging World Society the next stage is clearly the evolution of large power blocks. Hence in the 'West' there could eventually be three , North America,South America and The European Union. In the remaider of the Globe similar large Federations will come together. Only by Developments of this nature can our civilization hope to deal with the huge emerging problems of adequate power sourcing,feeding the increasing population, the effects of Climate Change etc. Thus it is inevitable that for this to happen peaceably. the European Union must become The European Federation ,and include European Russia, so that Europeans can retain a strong presence in the future . Do you not think that the Russians may also give thought to this outcome ? No-one who is concerned over the future of mankind,can believe that civilization can survive otherwise.
Why Putin doesn´t leave Russia at the very moment? Isn´t the answer obvious? He is afraid that his enemies plan to overthrow him, while he is abroad and without direct control of the country. Therefore he plays hide and seek.
Putin gambles. Whether he win or not, will decide the stability of Russia and its future.
The importand difference between Russia and the US about fighting the corruption is that the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Russia President is trying to curb it, while the US presidents are bought and sold LEGALY by wealthy "donors" who can purchase the best government money can buy.
The US NEVER EVER had democratic elections. The electoral system is inherently anti-democratic and the "elected officials" BUY their way to the top.
That's true, he has every reason to fear assassination after pulling all this.
" Much of what could be called corruption has become formalised, if not legalised, through official tenders, court rulings and bank-approved loans. That makes it both more prevalent and amorphous—and harder to eliminate."
Sounds very much like the systemic corruption system put in place by America's congress and state legislatures.
Do you have a desire to steal from the people? Simply fund some legislator campaigns and they will happily draft and pass some laws which legitimize your intended larceny.
Meanwhile in Britain, corruption remains old-fashioned. Alleged bribes paid by Rolls-Royce, bribe-paying and taking by newspapers to policemen, paying private investigators to unlawfully hack people's telephones, and fraudulently fixing the LIBOR rate for personal and company profit.
In America, it is easily observed that the modern system of unions is systemically corrupt, enabling organized groups to extort from employers, both public and private. Union members are by all indications loyal voters for the democratic party in America. Thus one more mafia of bought and paid for voters helping hold a particular regime in power. Other blocks of voters are also arguably paid off in America through various entitlements, and through liberal immigration policies.
It may be interesting to note that bribe-taking by bureaucrats has a very long history in Russia, and during part of that history was actually legal. Even today, the salaries of many low-level bureaucrats in Russia are so low, that like in the time of Peter the Great and after, bribe-taking was the only true compensation for bureaucrats. While this may be shocking to Western readers, what should also pain Western readers is their own bloated bureaucracies and the large, secure salaries and pensions which their taxpayers are burdened with because of same.
The long-term solution for eliminating all corruption in Russian government would be higher (survivable) salaries, and strong penalties against bribe-takers, which would also, of course, mean higher taxes for Russian citizens, and possibly a downsized bureaucracy.
The long history in Russia of bureaucrats being lawfully paid via кормления ("feedings"), otherwise known as bribes, when government did not have it as a custom, or have the funds, to pay survivable salaries, is how this norm emerged as an element of bureaucratic culture in Russia. Thus the process of change is against a more challenging slope than would be the case in many Western nations. And of course, Russia has comparatively low income taxes, which would have to be raised significantly to normalize the salaries of government employees in Russia. Bribery payments to bureaucrats are an ugly compensation model to Western eyes, but during certain long periods of Russia's history, such was the lawful norm for paying bureaucrats, which at least had the presumable benefit of down-scaling bureaucratic compensation during periods of economic necessity.
Keep in mind that the cost of government is over 40% of GDP in America, and over 50% in France. Both being countries where a system which automatically down-scaled government compensation during downturns might have made these countries much better off, and less ridden by debt than they are today.
The problem with Russia is, that Russians feel very proud of their country in general, and are very iften immune to criticism. If you mention the scale of corruption in Russia, within the minutes you get response quoting corruption scandals in UK or (preferably!) USA. But the scale is definitely different. Just look at the table: http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012/results
" If you mention the scale of corruption in Russia, within the minutes you get response quoting...."
That's clear evidence of the KPB (Kremlin Propaganda Bureau) agents being keen to earn their annual bonuses. The Holidays are coming, an extra bonus is more than welcome !
I've made the point in another post, but will make it again:
Often times, people refer to 'corruption', when in fact they are really describing 'extortion' and/or 'embezzlement'.
Corruption can be found everywhere - yes, even in the U.S.
To clarify:
An example of corruption: A shop-owner has a building code violation, and gets out of it by bribing the inspector.
An example of extortion: A shop-owner has no building code violations, but is threatened with closure by an inspector just the same, unless they pay-up.
An example of embezzlement: A director of a government agency siphons off tens of millions of government funds to their private Swiss bank account.
Corruption - in the form of bribery of public officials for private gain - is near impossible to completely eradicate, although it is more prevalent in some countries than others (anyone who thinks the U.S. is as bad as Russia in this domain is misinformed or disingenous). However, corruption is not debilitating to a market economy.
Extortion is much more debilitating to a healthy market than corruption. Extortion is fairly rampant in Russia, while nearly non-existant in the U.S./Western Europe. The practise of extortion can, and should be, eradicated in Russia.
Embezzlement can be the most painful in terms of direct financial costs - especially when you are talking the billions of dollars that are embezzled away from the Russian citizenry every year. Again, Russia suffers tremendously from embezzlement. Aggregious forms of embezzlement are fairly easy to track down - the fact that such cases are rarely prosecuted in Russia is shameful, and should result in mass public outcry.
Your point about corruption arising as a form of reasonable levels of remuneration to otherwise low-paid government staff is well understood.
The problem with Russia is not corruption (it exists widely, but police officers taking $10 bribes to clear traffic violations does not ruin a country).
The problem with Russia is the rampant extortion and embezzlement, which stifle entrepreneurs and ran-sack the public coffers.
The importand difference between Russia and the US about fighting the corruption is that the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Russia President is trying to curb it, while the US presidents are bought and sold LEGALY by wealthy "donors" who can purchase the best government money can buy.
The US NEVER EVER had democratic elections. The electoral system is inherently anti-democratic and the "elected officials" BUY their way to the top.
Another piece of plain B-U-L-L....from a hired source.
A better example are policy makers who become "consultants" or lobbyists for the industries they regulated. That is exactly what legal corruption looks like.
Yes, exactly. Though minor bribes have a broken-windows effect on the system.
what else is new
corruption, ok...
now name me
1) a television where one "usually" would be able to find news of corruption scandals involving officials close to presidents,
and 2) a country where high-level bureaucrats "usually" go loudly public when they fall
Today outgoing Ukrainian Rada (Parliament) abolished forthcoming doomsday. Nothing will stop corruption.
Are you talking about THIS doomsday? :D
OilPrice.com: Ukraine crushed in $1.1 billion fake gas deal
Certainly the folks at Gazprom are having a good snicker, reveling in the mockery that has been made of what should have been a landmark Ukraine-Spain gas deal that would have loosened Russia's gas grip on Kiev.
It was a horrible moment for Ukraine on Monday—all the more horrible because the whole event was televised—when the historical $1.1 billion deal it was about to sign with Spain's Gas Natural Fenosa turned out to be fake.
Why was the deal historical? It would have secured $1.1 billion in investment for the construction of Ukraine's first liquid natural gas (LNG) terminal on the Black Sea and a pipeline connecting the country's vast gas network to the terminal.
Sounds like you are really sorry there will be no doomsday !
Relax. As soon as Yanek is gone, the Rada will vote to bring doomsday back ! And to deliver it to Moscow's Red Square that by that time will have been renamed VLAD PUTIN Square !
I believe new Rada deputies are Mayas' descendants. Now I know from where Ukrainian nation originated. At the beginning it was not Kievan Russ, it was Mayas' Russ.
It seems corruption is also one of the human nature!
I think the economist is mistaken or unclear when it theorizes that Putin is out of touch. Although this may be true internationally, within Russia what Putin thinks is what is in touch; any view that differs from his is out of touch.
Whatever he may call himself Putin is a dictator. As such I do not think he will be able to maintain dictatorial contol of Russia without either keeping his cronies happy or appealing to the general public in some way. Weeding out corruption (which in Russia is like weeding salt out of the ocean) effectively reminds the wealthy that he can distroy them and the general population that he has built his "presidency" on political bulling, protest supression, and probable ballet box rigging.
On the other hand:
The Russian people have shown a tremendously generous (or short sighted) willingness to forgive strong leaders for their sins, and even with a bad back Putin is a strong leader. They may accept his actions at, if not face value (at face value they look like blantant attempts to control his rivles and manipulate the public) then at whatever value he tells them to place on his action.
Putin is under continuing pressure by Russia's right wing movements and imperial-minded 'philosophers' like Alexander Dugin and others. Read more on Dugin and his right-wing views here:
A sample of Alexander Dugin's, the 'Father' of the so-called International "Eurasian Movement", comments on Putin's rule:
"The crisis of Putin's rule came in the four years when Medvedev was the president. It seemed then that we are back in the 90's, back with the liberal West, striving for a rapprochement with the United States. It threatened to again raise the issue of stability and bring an end of the new wave of the collapse of Russia from the North Caucasus and other weak points. This danger of Medvedev's government was very serious because it was surrounded by pro-Western liberals, by agents of influence, that continue for 90 years in an attempted destruction of our state. Putin's return for a third term created new conditions.
"... on the one hand Putin embodies the strength, in the sense of the opposite reaction to liberal Western-destructive tendencies, that is, represents the force of life. It is a response to evil and decomposition of Russia. But, on the other hand, Putin does not have sufficient internal outlook for consistent implementation of patriotic reforms ..."
".... his return could be filled with even more drama, generate another unstable historical period. On the one hand, he is an extremely positive figure , especially compared with the Liberals and with Medvedev, on the other hand - we can see that he has no internal ideological inclinations for creativity."
Conclusion: Putin is not sufficiently right-wing nationalist. He has insufficient Russian "ideoloical creativity" (however defined!)
Didomyk, no matter what according to Forbes magazine, Putin is #3 among three most influential world leaders. First Obama, second Merkel. Holy Trinity. God bless them.
So, to be more precise, what exactly has Putin influenced in his terms as President and PM ? I really can't think of some good example. A war in Chechnia, Dagestan, etc ? Annual capital Outflow in billions ? The number of Russian billionnaires ? The number of corrupt officials buying multi-million- dollars apartments in Londongrad ? Maybe the number of publicity photos showing half-naked Putin .. ? Maybe you can help ?
Didomyk, I'm sorry I'm not Forbes. I can pass over your doubts and questions to Forbes editorial board. You in your turn can forward and puzzle TE nameless observers. As far as I know, you have good connection in TE. Tell them to write another article on the thrilling news.
You know why Obama is the first. Because he waged more impressive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Moreover, he assisted "democratic' revolutions in Libya, Egypt and Tunis where a big mess going on today. Merkel in the middle is a politically correct move. Obama and Putin are not male chauvinists.
Like China, Vietnam & many other countries such as those in African Russia has its dictatorship, right? So, how one, even in the highest top of power, can fight corruption in such a regime of giving birth to corruption, bribe, and again dictatorship?
Yes, the law needs to be fully implemented. A good start would be arresting the perpetrators of numerous(too numerous) assassinations.
Lonely, super leader Putin is indeed lonely at the top surrounded by all this retarded incompetent western leaders who brought the west economies to oblivion to rot in debt several times their GDP, while Russia economy grows, Russia is debt free, got the third largest FOREX reserve in the World and reaps nice trade surplus of hundreds of $$$ BN.
No wonder the broke and sinking west are so angry on Putin - they a jealous on Russia. They thump their flea infested chest, stomp their little feet, make whiny noises, lick their chops and watch how Russia laughs all the way to the bank, heh, heh, heh :D
Russia has no debt because other coutries do not trust Russia with credit. Also, Russia is the only country in the world, not in a state of war-civil war with a negative population growth rate, which looks disturbing like rats leaving a ship.
Look, we understand national pride and if you (I'm assuming your Russian) would rather have a strong leader than the ability to vote in free election thats fine just say it like it is, don't pretend like the Russian public is roling in piles of money...
Russia unlike most of the broke and sinking western country is NET LENDER country and the REAL income of the Russia population rises ever since Putin is in the helm, unlike the stagnant west. Russia people may not be "rolling in money" but so do 90% of the US population which "rolls" in irrecoverable debt because they spent beyond their real means much like the US government itself and live on the back of the future generation of their offsprings. Same for most of their EU lackey.
The credit is good so far if some is capable to pay back in time, else much like the west discovers as we speak the payback is a betch. Thanks God Putin Russia pull itself from the deptor pit the DERMOcrap Yeltsin and his US HIID "economy advisers" bring Russia, and now watches with amusement how the west sinks in the trap they dug for themselves. LOL :D
I've had a little trouble understanding what you are trying to say, but since your English is much better than my Russian (which is nonexistant) I can't really complain.
There probabily isn't any point in arguing opinions, since I have never visited Russia, and I'm guessing you have never visited the U.S. so lets look at some facts:
Average life expectancy: U.S. 78 years; Russia 70
Per capita GDP U.S.48,442; Russia 21,248
Net migration rate U.S. 3.62; Russia .29
Population growth rate U.S .96; Russia -.51
Human rights index U.S. 1 "Free"; Russia 7 "Not Free"
The list goes on...
I'm not going to try to argue that one country is better than the other because thats a matter of perspective and opinion. What is clear is that a if a child is born in each country, the child in the United States can anticipate a higher quality of life than the child born in Russia.
It's because in Russia we rob our own nation only and Americans rob every nation around the world.
To me American election of which Americans are so proud of but never allow a third party into this routine usually make a choice between sweet popcorn and salty one.
>Per capita GDP U.S.48,442; Russia 21,248
Actually the GDP per capita in the USA is US$(-1,875) considering the fact that the US owes more than they earn (debt per capita in the US is $50317), and the quality of the US public education is below the one of Zimbabwe, hence the US aborigine have no chance to compete and their jobs are outsourced to COMMUNIST China. the US has no future while Russia still controls 34% of all known Earth natural resources and is REAL RICH.
>Net migration rate U.S. 3.62; Russia .29
The net migration rate in the US 2012 is ZERO - even Mexico don't want to go to the broke and sinking US anymore, while Russia had to issue new laws to curb the illegal immigration to Russia :
Net Migration from Mexico Falls to Zero—and Perhaps Less
The largest wave of immigration in history from a single country to the United States has come to a standstill. After four decades that brought 12 million current immigrants—most of whom came illegally—the net migration flow from Mexico to the United States has stopped and may have reversed, according to a new analysis of government data from both countries by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center.
kpxoxol is a such primitive Russian Chauvinist, just one of these Putin propagandist who are daring tow rite here and polluting our Free Press in our Free Democratic Countries - it is not necessary to even consider his arguments, of course even to read this street guy and vulgar Putin's propaganda.
However there is one point that I would like to underline - this point is one of the most important political arguments made by Putin: the Russians are, today, because of him, "rich" - or at least richer than in 1999.
The right question that the Russian Newspapers , Vedomosti, has named : "The Illusion of a Rich Russia" - at 02 December 2012
Part I
"Foreigners may think Russia has overcome the problem of poverty. "Russians seem to live worry-free lives, especially in the big cities," writes journalist Pierre Avril in a Nov. 13 article in Le Figaro. "While housewives in Europe battle depression, Russia seems unaffected by the crisis, and families buy up consumer goods at a prodigious pace." Avril notes that Russians buy cars, luxury goods and food items as though they were unaffected by any economic problems at all.
The quantity of mobile phone numbers registered to every 100 people is 1 1/2 times higher in Russia than in France, the U.S. or Japan. The amount Russians spend on international tourism has grown so quickly that they now rank seventh in the world, pushing ahead of the Japanese. LVMH — the world's largest luxury retailer and producer of Moet & Chandon champagne, Hennessy cognac as well as clothing and accessories sold under the Fendi, Kenzo and Louis Vuitton brand names — has shown growth in sales in Russia for years on end.
The number of Russians who live below the poverty line, as defined by the World Bank, is exceptionally small, according to the report "Farewell to Poverty" by Mikhail Dmitriyev, head of the Federal Center for Social Development, and Svetlana Misikhina, head of the National Economics Academy's Center for Social Policy. Russia's formerly impoverished population has now climbed above the benchmark of spending $2 per day (measured as the daily purchasing power parity) and has now become the "wealthy poor." The nearly 12 percent of Russians who continue to live on $2 to $10 per day enjoy a higher standard of living than comparable segments of the population in China, India and Indonesia. What's more, they are buying almost as much food and as many telephones, televisions and computers as people with even higher incomes. In addition, thanks to the Soviet legacy, Russians enjoy almost equal access to the country's infrastructure.
Amid all of the seemingly good news, however, Russia's poverty problem is far from conquered."
Vedomosti, has named : "The Illusion of a Rich Russia" - at 02 December 2012
Part II
"First, the boom in consumption is not necessarily the result of greater incomes but of the rapid growth in borrowing. Russians are accumulating debt at an alarming rate. Individual borrowing is outpacing corporate borrowing by 300 percent. The number of loans that Russians have taken out this year is 40 percent higher than last year. Similar growth in the borrowing rate was last seen just before the 2008 crisis, when the rate of borrowing was climbing by 55.8 percent.
Second, if poverty were measured not as a function of the number of televisions purchased but by more qualitative indicators such as the quality of housing and health, the picture would not be as rosy as we have been led to believe.
Housing conditions are also an accurate indicator of Russians' real standard of living. More than 61 percent of Russians have a very modest living space per person: 7 square meters to 30 square meters. Another 2.3 percent are even more tightly packed at home, according to the Higher School of Economics National Research University. Worse, the level of "housing poverty" has not changed appreciably in the last 20 years. In addition, considering that the price for 1 square meter of an apartment is now several times greater than the average Russian's income, the only chance most people have for an improvement in living conditions is if a family member dies and leaves more room for the others.
What about health? Statistics on morbidity are not published very regularly, but judging from those that are available for 2000-10, Russia is experiencing a steady upward trend, with 18 percent more illnesses registered than before. Taking into account the shrinking population, the real increase in illness is actually 20.4 percent. Taken separately, the illness rate among youth is up 150 percent.
Obviously, it is not the people with tuberculosis living in shoebox-sized apartments along with a handful of relatives who are snatching up Louis Vuitton handbags. Rapidly growing income inequality is a characteristic of modern Russia. True, the poorest Russians are not as bad off as those in India and China, but this country has a different cultural makeup and had already taken steps in the last century to eliminate the worst forms of poverty. Yet it remains a distant dream to eradicate widespread poverty."
12 years and going?
...sounds like a financial dictator in progress
Graft and corruption is as much part of the Russian culture as it is of the Chinese. If you want to open a store in Moscow you have to pay off dozens of people from the janitor to the Mayor and the Police chief -- it is simply their way of life.
It is worth being more specific.
People often talk about 'corruption' when they are really referring to 'extortion' and/or 'embezzlement'.
Paying kickbacks to win a contract, or paying an inspector to turn their backs to a violation, are acts of corruption - and are indeed endemic to most developing nations. This form of corruption is problematic, and leads to an unfair market, but is not as disruptive as extortion, or as financially painful to the public as embezzlement.
An example of extortion - being forced to payoff inspectors, even when there no violations! (this is common in Russia).
An example of embezzlement - siphoning off millions in State funds to private offshort bank accounts. Also all too common in Russia.
No way Putin, or anyone, can end corruption. But extortion and embezzlement can, and should be, curbed.
If Putin was serious about takling corruption he would walk straight into the nearest police station.
This is about appearances, nothing more.
Can you imagine what would happen if Putin "would walk straight into the nearest police station" ?
a)all guys would run away in fear of what's coming next !
b)the station chief would commit suiside for fear of what's coming !
c) Putin would find all the staff asleep with several empty vodka bottles on the table !
The Economist doesn't like Putin because:

If a teenage girl can walk and chew gum at the same time, she can probably suck cock and jerk it at the same time too. Miya Monroe is our little multi-tasker and we kept her lips and hands working overtime for this scene. This 18 year old is a very pretty girl with a very naughty streak. She's pierced in so many places, I'm surprised she hasn't sprung a leak...yet Miya uses her tongue ring to tease her way around this big cock and then starts to stroke him with her hands and her mouth both working at the same time. If a shot of warm jizz is the prize at the end of an amazing blowjob, then Miya Monroe definitely hit the big time with the huge wad of jizz she gargles in her mouth before swallowing it down.

Best Buy accidentally sends extra iPads in order, tells customer to keep them
A major mix-up is now a holiday blessing. A Best Buy customer ordered an iPad from the retailer. But when the order arrived, what was inside was a huge surprise.
According to consumer affairs blog The Consumerist, Best Buy had sent five iPads instead of one. And rather than keeping them, the customer felt guilty and reached out to the company.
A representative for the company responded with a very touching message:
First and foremost, I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your honesty. That is so rare in this day and age and I sincerely thank you!
We, here at Best Buy, acknowledge that we obviously made a mistake, but in the spirit of the holidays, we encourage you to keep the additional iPads and give them to people in need – friends, family, a local school or charity.
The customer, who's asked to be unidentified, says she doesn't know what she will do with the extra iPads.
On Thursday, the same blog reported another mix-up to the same extent.

Feds glad to bid adieu to 2011, but will 2012 be better?
Thursday - 12/22/2011, 5:42pm EST
Federal workers may be glad that 2011 is ending. It's hard to think of something good that happened to them this year.
But, as a governmentwide survey showed, they are weathering the financial and political onslaught with a surprisingly sunny smile. That's a good thing. With a presidential election looming, 2012 may not be much better.
Federal News Radio's Emily Kopp counts down the top federal workforce stories of 2011 as she sees them and makes some predictions fo 2012.
Top 5 federal workforce stories of 2011
1. Will they or won't they make further cuts in feds' paychecks? Threats of shutdowns, furloughs, extended pay freezes and cuts to benefits become the norm as a bitterly divided Congress seeks to cut the federal deficit. |
2. Ailing Postal Service seeks to slash workforce USPS seeks to cut more than 100,000 workers, but its plan gets a lukewarm response on Capitol Hill. The agency buckled under political pressure and postponed closing post offices until 2012. |
3. Federal jobseekers outraged at OPM's handling of USAJobs.gov The Office of Personnel Management takes control of federal hiring website USAJobs.gov. The site crashes at a time when the White House says "jobs, jobs, jobs" are its top priority. |
4. Twenty-one agencies consider buyouts and early outs For some agencies, it's about saving money. For others, buyouts and early outs free up jobs for fresher faces. |
5. Will feds stay put during the next "Snowmaggeddon"? OPM updates its emergency dismissal policy to prevent gridlock on Washington roads. But will feds actually "shelter in place" or rush home during the next snow emergency? |
Top 5 federal workforce predictions of 2012
1. Politicians continue calls to cut pay, programs and agencies-we-can't-remember With a presidential election at the end of the year, lawmakers will continue to look for ways to cut federal spending, and feds' paychecks and programs will continue to be targets. |
2. Agencies seek creative ways to boost employees' skills and morale Agencies are piloting new employee evaluation systems, orientation programs and other initiatives to make feds happier and more productive in tight times. |
3. Retirements put OPM's system in the spotlight Even if 2012 isn't the year of the "retirement tsunami," the increase in federal retirements will test OPM's antiquated annuity-calculation process. The system has a backlog of 60,000 cases. |
4. Agencies strive for progress on hiring goals, even without money The White House has told agencies to diversify and hire more veterans and disabled people. VA for Vets will go federal; Agencies will look to Pathways, a revamped internship program, over unions' objections. |
5. Agencies will collaborate to increase performance without funds. Look for an expansion of HR University, an online platform that allows agencies to access each others' training programs. |

Do we have anyone here that got one to write his impressions??
Phoronix: Jolla's Smartphone Launches Today
Jolla's first smartphone officially goes on sale today! The device, of course, is running the MeeGo-derived Sailfish OS with Wayland and there's Android app compatibility...
Do we have anyone here that got one to write his impressions??
Did anyone else laugh when the one guy hung-up/ignored his mom's call?
i want it because of reasons
I really hope this is the true sucessor to the Nokia N900 / N9. But I miss the qwerty keyboard :|
I just want the open source code to it so we can start the porting
As long as the video is true to real life (as in the device actually behaves like that) then this looks like a fairly mature first attempt!
Naturally, reasons is all you need :-)
I've ordered and payed for mine, but I'll have to wait at least 2-3 weeks before I get it delivered! I'm waaaaaiitiiiiiing!

Reyes' Journey, Part 9
Reyes had trained Voltorb up to be at the same level as the rest of his team members, and then he made a quick trip to Cerulean City to stock up on supplies. Then, Reyes headed into Rock Tunnel, which he had been putting off due to it's infamous status.
Butterfree was very helpful with Flash, and Reyes was able to see the Trainers in the cave so he could battle them.
After a few hours, Reyes managed to get out and rest up at Lavender Town. But even in the Pokemon Center, Reyes heard the rumors: Team Rocket had killed a Marowak, causing the Pokemon to go in an uproar.....

Actually, "the modest progress last month" was the big thing, as Weston really ran the first time. This time all I did was port a few more clients. Weston is like it was back then.
I guess I should also point out, that Weston has no input yet, so you cannot interact with the device at all.
The device in the picture is Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I've never heard of a "Google Nexus", though there are many devices with Nexus as part of their name.

Casey Cumz is at the peak of her sexual prime. Just beyond the teen years that taught her so much. Her sweet face is ripe for some serious Cum Blasting. Drooling, giggling, spitting and stroking... from the start of this scene until the messy end Casey has only one goal in mind. Making you remember her so she can get called back to fuck on film for a long time to cum. The facial cumshot she gets in the finale is nice but she eats most of it pretty quick. That's a sure sign of a girl in need of even more dick!

they should fire some lawyers first if You ask me...
they should fire some lawyers first if You ask me...
Folks, please use the proper term, out of respect for the affected people. You get "fired" when you are terminated for performance or similar reasons. You are "laid off" when your position becomes redundant, or the company has no funds to pay your salary.
Cutting Linux support is crazy for a CPU company, if you ask me. Mobile computing, in particular, is being heavily dominated by Linux (android). Oh well. I guess I have no option rather buying Intel next time, and as much as some of you already said, I hate fueling a monopoly (even though I love Intel's Linux support).
I hope that whoever buys up the assets of AMD has deep pockets and are not just asset strippers. Who knows?
very bad news. Hope this doesn't kill stability and support for us AMD users in the long run... definitely going to buy Intel/nVidia for my next machine, even if it's more expensive.. sorry AMD, but your drivers suck, and I just don't trust your long term support of Linux (my card's drivers where depreciated after only 3 years... come on).
Maybe the silver-lining here is that AMD will be forced to support Linux through the OSS driver stack (like Intel) in the future.
Seems that AMD is joining forces with RedHat to bring ARM to servers.
At least that's what they're saying right now in a press conference.
Some random quotes:
"AMD will be the only company to deliver both x86 and ARM solutions in the data center""We believe in technology leadership...we continue to extend that in x86 and now ARM""Cell phone world predicts what's coming in the server world.'"Does switching from ARM to x86 matter in terms of power consumption?" - "Yes - workloads are changing""Interesting growth phenomena over 7 years. We think ARM 64 bit will play an important role, but x86 not going away"I don't know how to interpret this, though."AMD is targeting investments at higher growth segments"
Just read the press release. Its a brilliant strategic move into low margin market segments - now with fewer engineers they will create more products. No doubt the imbeciles trying to manage the company will rely ever more on marketting + hot air and even less on good execution of long term strategy. I guess any roadmaps are in tatters again.
To me "fired" is the same as "laid off." The only difference is the person that got laid off has no reason why. A person that got fired has a reason why. During the interview both will have to explain why they got laid off or fired. It is easy for the person that got fired why they got fired. The person that got laid off will have to come up a reason why they got laid off that does make them look bad. The person that got laid off that provides no reason is worst than a person that got fired.
I hope "even though I love Intel's Linux support" is sarcasm because Intel's support for Linux is so, so. Their WiFi and graphics works some what, but it could be better. There are some bugs in graphics such as when I enable TearFree it crashes X Window System while xscreensaver sends a standby command to my monitor. Also Intel graphics does a minor graphics garbled when 3D apps are used. Reliability of Intel's drivers are below average from a reputable company.

color and texture combos to help you get started
"Choteau, MT"
Description from KarenDe-Challenge Chick: I also love the idea of picks showing where we come from. I've done the state a few times already, so here is my home town: Choteau, MT. 1600 people where the mountains meet the plains under the biggest blue sky you've ever seen! Fourth of July fireworks, rodeo, and rubber duck races. And the home of the baby dinosaur and eggs that proved that dinos really mothered their babies.

Ordered this for our basement bath so I didn't want to spend a fortune but wanted bronze. This faucet has a really nice finish and the style is classic. It appears well made and the entire thing is heavy and solid. Very, very happy with this purchase.
This faucet was just what we wanted to complete our bathroom remodel. The price was excellent...much better than what I could find in local stores. The item was shipped and received quickly!
Overall, I like the faucet. It was exactly what I wanted for my basement bathroom. The look and style were perfect! However, the washer on the pop up drain was a bit thin for the sink I used. I supplemented it with another washer purchased from a big box store, and everything was fine!
Out of 3 different oil rubbed bronze faucets I have purchased, this by far was the worst both in looks and quality. When it arrived, the handles looked like cheap shiny plastic, not at all appealing to me. Once it was installed, I could not stop it from dripping so there must have been some type of fitting inside that was inferior. The drain also did not seat correctly in the drain opening so I never even got that completely installed properly. Because it was dripping and I thought it looked cheap and crappy, I ended up returning it and getting something else that is much nicer looking, does not drip, and seats properly in the drain opening.
When the two faucets arrived my husband commented that the handle of one wasn't properly aligned. Not until the plumber came to install did we find that in one of the faucets they had included 2 clear stoppers which were both meant for the hot water. The cold one has a blue one. That is why the faucet was not aligned. I called the number of the company and they assured me that they would send a replacement blue stopper. That was a week ago and it has not yet arrived. I hope it does because the faucet is installed waiting for it to arrive.
You should credit my discount. I have called about it three times
literally this faucet must be clean with oil only .I went to my local Lowes and brought a bronze cleaner to clean this faucet and the color on my faucet started to chip off I so dissatisfied with this cheap material my bathroom renovation has become an disaster less than a year after purchasing this product CAUTION NOT WHAT YOU WANT, TO MAKE YOUR BATHROOM BEAUTIFUL ITS A COMPLETE HEAD STRESS......:(
LOVE the new faucet! Installation was easy! Instructions were easy to follow.
Inner plastic gasket didn't fit properly causing a gap around outer shell case, which in turn would allow water to get beneath. When closing control valves there was flexing in the feel indicating flimsy construction/materials. Purchased a similar replacement faucet at a local hardware store for $* more with a 100% better result

I have to get this on here for those of you that have never been to the Haunted Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. If you are looking for a great Halloween scare try this on for size. Get your big boy or girl pants on you will need them!!!
Visitors from all over come to the historic Ohio State Reformatory to get their scare on.
Those that visit the Haunted Prison Experience in Mansfield, Ohio will not see Casper or any friendly ghosts but will have the ultimate haunted house adventure.
What is around the next corner...?
Anything could be lurking behind the bars, in the corridors or nooks and crannies during of the Ohio State Reformatory. The historic site is transformed into a haunted adventure that is not your typical haunted house. Well known stunt coordinator and film producer, Myron St. John is the creative designer that is dedicated to giving you a chill. His company, Haunted X Enterprises LLC, reforms the prison each October into what St. John states is where the special FX meets the supernatural. This reformatory not only houses actors, animatronics and props but it is said that there are spirits present of some who once occupied the six stories of cell blocks. The haunted trek throughout the prison stone walls will thrill visitors for the full 45 minutes of their haunted experience. Learn more about
the haunted prison
The Reformatory
The prison doors closed to prisoners in 1990 after housing over 155,000 men throughout the years. It remains open for visitors and is a popular place for filming movies, TV and music videos including Shawshank Redemption, Air Force One and Tango and Cash. The architecture of the building is done with three different styles including Victorian Gothic, Richardsonian Romanesque and Queen Anne. The idea behind the design was to encourage prisoners to have a rebirth of their spiritual lives and inspire them to turn their lives from sin.
More Spirits
If walking the halls of the haunted experience is not enough adrenalin the reformatory offers paranormal trips of several different kinds. Spending the night in a dark 250,000 square foot prison with only a flashlight takes visitors on the quest to find the spirits that reportedly roam the prison. This trip is for those over 21 only and does include pizza and refreshments. A two hour nighttime, ghost walk guided tour for ages 12 and older takes adventurous visitors into the dark halls and corridors of the reformatory, visiting the hot spots where reports have been made about paranormal activity. Hear the stories of what people have experienced and of murder and death that cause many to believe the prison is haunted. The building contains hazards including, but not limited to: steep steps, uneven surfaces and lead-based paint. It is not recommended for pregnant women.
There are other tours available for those who would like to see the inside of the historic reformatory without the darkness and spirits. Learn the history and see where the Shawshank Redemtion was filmed. Visit the website
for times and dates of tours.

Audacity 1.3: Other features
Better performance with large projects
As before, Audacity stores projects using a directory full of small files. Audacity 1.3 now uses a hierarchical directory structure that results in better performance on large projects (tens of hours worth of audio across many tracks).
Project integrity check on open
When you open an Audacity project in version 1.3, it checks to make sure that all data files are present.
Upload via FTP
Up to and including Audacity 1.3.3, an experimental dialog was available for uploading files to a server via FTP. A future version of Audacity may re-introduce this feature as an optional plug-in.
Based on wxWidgets 2.8
Previous versions of Audacity were based on wxWidgets 2.4. This change brings support for GTK2 widgets on Unix and better Unicode support on all platforms, plus many other minor enhancements under the hood.
Batch / CleanSpeech
Audacity has a new feature that allows you to process a batch of files, for example normalizing and converting to MP3. CleanSpeech mode provides a simplified interface for some standard adjustments typically made on speech recordings. You can access these features in the Interface Preferences.
Cut lines
Turning this feature on in the Tracks Preferences means that cutting audio in the middle of a clip does not remove it permanently - click on the cut line at any time to restore it.

My gorgeous, my darling, you wretched little insomniac,
We watched Michelle Obama's speech last night. You, Daddy and I, we watched it together. You were wide awake. And Daddy said why not put her in the bouncer. That's how she often falls asleep at school. And I thought of the stories my father tells me about my infancy. I never slept, either, and he used to put me in front of the TV. This was pre-cable, pre-remote controls, of course. The news channel was a blank screen, no graphics, with scrolling text. And he'd put me in front of it until my eyes glazed over, and that's how he got me to sleep.
So I said sure, let's try it. And you, you lucky 21st century girl, you get to fall asleep to live coverage of a nation's destiny turning around after eight long years off course. But of course, you didn't fall asleep.
The eloquent Mrs. Obama spoke of the landmark achievement 88 years ago when American women secured the right to vote. Much of your family wasn't on this side of the Atlantic yet 88 years ago, so your American history begins with your voting rights secure. And she spoke of the accomplishments of the civil rights movement less than half a century ago, in which equal rights were won for black Americans. Your Jewish heritage is the reason your family is in this country; the antisemitism your family left behind in Europe is not so different in treatment, in social consequence, from the racism of segregation that this country can be proud of leaving behind. That the first year of your life was a Presidential election year, that the Democratic nominee's two leading candidates were an African-American and a woman -- what a great first year of life for an American. Of all the emotions I wear on my sleeve, my patriotism isn't usually one of them. But I'm so proud of the Democratic party, and of what this means for our country. I'm so happy for you and your sister that this is the future being built for you.
Daddy was sitting on the floor behind you as we watched the speech. He was trying to corral your absurdly large collection of books. I was swooning for Michelle's rhetoric. You were still not sleeping. Michelle was marking history; she was making history. You kept sitting upright in the bouncy. (That's not supposed to happen. That's not even supposed to be able to happen. We're so dismantling the two bouncy seats this weekend.) You decided to add your touch to the sense of posterity. Daddy looked at you and said shush! Go to sleep! And you smiled, turned around to face him, and waved.
Your teachers, who love teaching their babies all the standard baby tricks, have been trying to get you to wave for weeks. You've just mastered clapping hands. Clap hands! Clap hands! We'd seen no hand waving from you, however, until last night. Perhaps you sensed the history in the making. Perhaps you sensed how important was Michelle Obama's time on that stage. Perhaps you just love to keep us in awe of you. Or maybe we should read this as a warning, that you're going to be just as sassy as your sister. But you sat straight up, turned around, smiled and waved. You little vixen. You little stinker. You gorgeous, growing, apple pie girl.
It didn't occur to me until today that maybe you watched the thousands of delegates in Denver respond to Michelle's waves to the crowd and the cameras. Maybe you were simply mimicking; maybe you felt, as so many of us did, the personal resonance of her message. Whatever it was, last night was an important night, and you made it a magical night, too. I'm so glad we watched that speech with you.
I hope fervently that Obama wins in November, and when you and your sister ask: what was it like in 2008? what was it like for America to elect its first black President? I'll be able to start the telling of that memory with the story of last night, when Michelle Obama moved the nation to tears, and moved you to wave. I hope he wins this election. I hope this country reconsiders its priorities. And I hope, I really, really, really hope, that one night you'll SLEEP.
With much love, and all the audacity of hope,
your Mommy

Great features, would recommend this to anyone who wants to keep track of their running. Only fault is sometimes it takes a little long to locate when starting run, but still a great item.

My teenage son picked out this watch to use while running and training for cross county. He's very happy with the ease of use and how comfortable it is on his wrist.

Rated 4 out of 5�by MrsRunner Good watch for the price.
I bought this watch for my husband, He says it does everything it needs to do. It doesn't have too many features to complicate things. He wanted something that would provide him with his pace, track where he ran and keep up with his calorie burn. It is a good watch for the price.

Rated 2 out of 5�by Linz Disappointed
Got the product in a good amount of time! It was a gift for my husband for Christmas! He opened it, the watch wouldn't work! Tried to return the watch and the store was completely out of this watch and the forerunner 15! Had to settle for something else! Can't really review the watch as we never got to try it, but it was very disappointing all the trouble we went through and ended up with something completely different! Will probably never order online again!

Rated 4 out of 5�by Polishpickle Forerunner 10
Even though the cheapest GPS watch out there, it does EVERYTHING I wanted from a GPS watch. I am VERY happy with it so far. I do not like rechargeable batteries in a watch, but will live with it. I also heard that when in the GPS position ( Run/walk) , the battery only lasts for 5 hours. I have not pushed it that far yet, but will soon. I am worried about it not holding enough charge for my hike. ( OR a 26.2 mile marathon.).
I now have to carry a recharge package to ensure I wont lose any information. OTHER than the above, I do really like the watch.

Rated 3 out of 5�by bob Strap came off
Bought for my son. Has used it for a couple of cross country seasons and track seasons. Took him a little while to get use to it and remember to start it. Has to plan because it take time to locate and if you don't start it shuts down. But he likes it. However, now one came off. I can't figure out how it every stayed on. Strap is thin rubber/plastic at the watch and seems to fit over a piece of plastic that has the pin in it. Can't seem to get the strap to snap back on that plastic piece. Watch it self is still good so don't want to buy another. Per Garman web site $79 to repair.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Dave Like the Price Point
While I have only been using it a couple of weeks, it seems intuitive and with minimal instruction guidelines, I have found my way on most settings and button activation. I am disappointed it doesn't seem to track me when I am running on an inside track, at my rec center, or on a treadmill. Also, max battery life is between 2-3 hours so regular recharging is a must. In the online history sync, I haven't found a way to access total miles run in a week, shows individual day times, pace, calories burned, etc., but not miles total. Otherwise I am satisfied initially with the product.

We the undersigned petition high street retailers in the UK to involve disabled models in their advertising campaigns
In the special editions of How to Look Good Naked … With a Difference, Gok has joined forces with Naked Ambassadors Natasha Wood and Nikki Fox in a mission to convince retailers that disability can sell fashion.
A massive 92% of people who answered our exclusive Naked survey felt that customers with disabilities are ignored by the fashion and beauty industries. And with 94% saying that they wanted to see more people with disabilities used in adverts and magazines, it's time to for change.
Armed with their beautiful disabled model, Shannon, and a fabulous ad campaign, Tash and Nikki have set out to see if they can convince some of the biggest names in the business to start using disabled models in their adverts. But they need your help! – To show your support in getting disabled models to feature in high street advertising, then please take a couple of moments to sign our petition. Your support could help change the face of fashion forever.

The base of our ice wine tea is made from three growing regions in Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva. These three districts produce flavorful teas that have the classic "Ceylon" character, noted by its floral bouquet, touches of mild astringency, and a bright coppery color.
Flavoring oils, not crystals, are used to give the tea its superior aroma and flavor, allowing the natural flavor of this high grown Ceylon to come through. The result is a delicious, fresh, and piquant white grape flavor with hints of exotic fruit that pleasantly lingers on the tongue.
