Thank you...
I'm an actress, I will try whatever roles that's given to me. Even the recent role in 'World of Laughs', I have to act crazy over my younger boss. To me, for comedy, it's perfectly fine for me to do it. I do not select my role. I trust my team will do the job for me, they are the professionals! As long as you laugh while watching my show, I've already accomplished my task.
I'm here just to make you laugh. Yes you're right, I shouldn't refer my readers as fans. You are not my fan, I would like to call you my friend... I believe I will still have a big group of my little friends who really respect my age. Without them, life is meaningless. There is no ending in learning, life is short - don't waste it!
I will shoot my MTV next week. I have a meeting with Director on Monday. Maybe now you can suggest what you want to see in the MTV? For those who wants to hear it one more time, here it goes...
I wanted to set this song as my phone ring tone, do you think it's a good idea? Do you want it? I will discuss with office regarding this... see if I can send to you.
Below is the trailer for coming episode of 'World of Laughs'. I did silly things again, some of you may find it gross but it's just my role.

Hi, Granny..I seldom post comments to others. I do not know if you have the time to read my comment, but just want to tell you that no matter what happen, you still have a lot of people supporting you all the way! You are loved by a lot of people!
Do not be too affected by other's opinions..as long as we love you, its already enough to win over xiaxue.
She is just behaving like a spoilt brat and often offending people. I hope you will not take it to heart..
=D Stay happy! WE LIKE YOU THAT WAY!!and you are a marvellous actress!!

- Sunday, July 22, 2007
Hey auntie, I like your rap and how you proved that the elderly can have a young heart and all. But apparently your online conduct from wad i can see, shows that you Haven't adapted enough to the internet.
It's a COLD WORLD wide web out there, well... You tried didn't you, but you tried hard and failed harder simply because you didn't try hard enough.
- Sunday, July 22, 2007
hey ur rap rox!
- Sunday, July 22, 2007
Can i call u ahma instead of LZB? :) u're the coolest ahma i hv seen! :D You didn't let your age stop you from learning, which is great! u should teach all senior citizen to do so too! I saw a lot of old people wondering around the streets with a blank face...seems like waiting for death? Isn't it Golden years? When one has retired and can finally do the things they desire?
Some people might say things about you bcos ahma like u is uncommon, but that doesn't mean u are wrong. :)
Life doesn't end at the coffin, so keep learning! Wise is one who is open to learn and change for the better. Ahma, jia you! :)

rock on !!
- Sunday, July 22, 2007
please start acting your age
you are cheapening your body and yourself. its disgusting. please start being normal like some other grannys (like mine) doing taiji, floristry, watch some tv and sleep. the condom video is way gross. you are already so old and still want to seduce men? no wonder rape cases involve ELDERLY these days. be careful not to get raped one day with your kind of attitude. not sexy at all.
- Sunday, July 22, 2007
- Milky said...
LOL LZB, I think there's some typo or something in that rap. At around 00.36-00.38, theres a line which goes line "rang ni xia si ni" which sounds weird. Should be "rang wo xia si ni" mah!
Correct me if I'm wrong :/
- Sunday, July 22, 2007
act your age lah.
- Sunday, July 22, 2007
laozhabor, think you are great. just ignore whatever xiaxue says alright. at least you dont look as bitchy as her yea! =) love your show.
- Sunday, July 22, 2007
LZB, I take my hat off to you for keeping up with the trend of blogging! For those who say bad about you, they should look at themselves first.. aren't most of them doing the same thing as you? i.e. HAVING FUN and sharing those experiences with other people via blogging. So, what, older people can't have fun, can't camwhore, can't have great self-confidence? Bullshit! LBZ, please go on having your happy moments and living life to the fullest! Don't let those petty comments get you down, ok? Take care!
- Monday, July 23, 2007
LOL! xiaxue is one super rude git who has no manners and respect for the elders! she seems to think she can blog criticizing everything that she doesn't see eye to eye with.. how bossy -.-
- Monday, July 23, 2007
This is addressed to the people who are leaving absolutely weird and rude comments about asking you to apologise to Xiaxue's mother, and things like facing up the facts and things like that. I find it absolutely rude to put up all these comments to an old lady who is bold enough to set up a blog and really, just trying to have some fun. What is so wrong with that?! Just leave it be and stop harassing the poor woman!

I personally very respect you as an auntie so don't get irritated by other bloggers' criticism, they are pointless.

I think that the Condomania video was very good. It was not even disgusting or disturbing in any sense. What is so taboo about condoms anyway? It's not as if you filmed using a sex toy! I applaude your bravery and youthfulness. Please ignore those unwelcomed comments!
- Monday, July 23, 2007

hihi, I have read ur blog since quite some time ago, and has also read xx's blog about u.
what i can say is, I feel that she is trying to get attention from the public. After all, she thinks she is the world's best blogger, and as for you, you need NOT be bothered about what she says and u blog what u like, I like ur contents!
do not be beaten by unkind words, for there will still be people out there that love u as who u r, LZB. :)
- Tuesday, July 24, 2007
Be happy. Who are these people (leaving rude comments and whats not) to judge. Be who you are and most importantly, be happy.
Why be a normal granny just like everyone else when you can be different. Not everyone DARES to be different thus you are an individualistic and your courage is astonishing.
Keep blogging (:

Dear Lao Zha Bor,
I've never really watched you in action on screen but I was introduced to your blog by my friend.
When I started reading, I was like "Woah! This granny rocks!" and I kept reading your blog up to the archives.
You're like so cute and funny lah. Don't change the way you blog or better, don't change yourself. You are great.
But I've read this quote from somewhere and it goes something like this...
"People who asks a blogger to
write/change this and that are rude people. It is like them coming to your house and throw your pet away coz they have fur allergies".
Hope you get what I meant.
Keep typing my young-at-heart granny!!!
がんばって おばあさん!
Ganbatte Obaasan
Jia You Granny!

Giant wombat doubles in size, according to a report in New Scientist 27 September 2003, p20. Stephen Wroe of the University of Sydney studied the relationship between limb bone size and total body size in living mammals and then applied their results to fossil mammals, which are only known from their bones. Using this method, Wroe and his colleagues estimated that an extinct giant wombat known as Diprotodont weighed in at 2.5 tonnes, double the previous estimate. If the estimate is correct it casts doubt on the prevailing belief that Australian soils were too poor to support the abundant vegetation needed to provide enough nutrients for giant animals. Wroe commented "Our work obviously undermines this interpretation of Australia's mammalian faunas as the poor runts of the continental litter."
Editorial Comment: According to Genesis the world started out with a perfect environment, i.e. lush vegetation growing in thick rich soils providing nutrients for creatures of all sizes. During Noah's flood there was massive erosion and land would have been scoured of soil leaving some regions of the world with thin, nutrient poor soils unable to support lush vegetation. Fossilised giant animals and the giant plants that sustained them are testimony that the world is degenerating, not evolving upwards. (Ref. Diprotodont, mammals, soil)

SEC's best games: Nos. 10-6
Published: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 5:27 p.m.
This is the fourth part of a five-part series produced exclusively for Gatorsports.com ranking the top 25 games involving SEC teams in the 2013 college football season.
Nos. 10-6:
No. 10. Florida at South Carolina
Nov. 16, Columbia, S.C.
The angle may be tired. We all know about Steve Spurrier and Florida. The storyline has become more about two of the best teams in the East facing off in a big game. The Gamecocks want to atone for last year's thrashing in Gainesville.
Early line: South Carolina by 5.
No. 9. Clemson at South Carolina
Nov. 30, Columbia, S.C.
This is another one of those great in-state rivalry games at the end of the season. The Gamecocks have owned the state recently, and Clemson badly needs to end a four-game losing streak to Spurrier.
Early line: South Carolina by 4½ points.
No. 8. LSU at Georgia
Sept. 28, Athens, Ga.
After all the gnashing of teeth over Georgia's soft conference schedule, there can be no complaining this year with the Tigers making a rare appearance in Athens. Since 2000, the two teams have played more times in Atlanta (three) than in Athens (two).
Early line: Georgia by 6.
No. 7. Georgia at Clemson
Aug. 31, Clemson, S.C.
OK, Clemson, let's see what ya got. The Tigers have been flirting with elite-level football the last couple of years and need a marquee win to get everyone's attention. This game should also establish whether or not Georgia is a national contender.
Early line: Georgia by 3½ points.
No. 6. South Carolina at Georgia
Sept. 7, Athens, Ga.
There are no two teams who have it tougher the first two weeks of the season than Georgia and South Carolina. Spurrier gets his wish in getting the Bulldogs early, and the winner is considered the favorite to take the East.
Early line: Georgia by 4.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Women's Cross Country runner, Tereza Novotna, added to her already stellar freshman resume as she was named Sunshine State Conference Runner of the Year.

In total, seven student-athletes were named to the 2011 All-Conference Team. Tampa's Jessica Butler was selected along with Novotna as Co-Runners of the Year. Tampa's Jarrett Slaven was named Coach of the Year.

Ecofeminism, environmental failure, and a freak out
Needless to say, severe weather kind of freaks me out. It's not in a hide under the bed during thunder storms kind of way. It's much more about my fears for what it means about the (lack of?) health and well-being of our planet. Musing on the many and severe weather conditions that have hit close to home over the past two years, and repeatedly feeling how uncanny it has all been, I'm on the verge of major freak out. At what point do we stop looking at severe droughts, super storms, flooding, tornadoes, and hurricanes as a long string of bad luck, and start looking at the causes?
Stewing on this, and on the recent Colorlines post What Hurricane Sandy should teach us about climate justice, I'm reminded of some core principles of ecofeminism.
"Ecofeminism is based on the theory that the oppression of women and the oppression of nature are fundamentally linked. In ecofeminist literature, ecofeminism is often described as the belief that environmentalism and feminism are intrinsically connected. Another definition suggests that discrimination and oppression based on gender, race and class are directly related to the exploitation and destruction of the environment." (view source)
As long as we live in a world that validates, promotes, and normalizes power and privilege, we will live in a world with all of the tools needed to promote hate, violence, and devastation. We're talking about privilege associate with race, class, gender, etc. or a system that privileges industry over environment.
The Colorlines article discusses the disproportionate impact of the recent storm on working class and working poor neighborhoods. The people who were most affected were also most likely to have limited access to resources, and to have brown or black skin. Relief workers didn't come to some of the most devastated neighborhoods. Systematic privileging prevails. We also know that the risk of experiencing sexual violence skyrockets during disaster situations. All of those things that are already risk factors for experiencing violence--they're exacerbated in times of disaster.
It also suggests that we are at a turning point. We have an opportunity to turn toward eco-friendly fuel sources, an efficient economy, and one that provides stable employment to the people who were laid off during the economic downturn. We also have an opportunity to break down the tools of hate that allow all of this scary stuff to continue. What have you done to dismantle hate today? How have you acknowledged privilege in your everyday life? It is way past time to start asking the tough questions. It's time to gather some new tools that will help us build a better world.
Eve Ensler offered an inspired Ted Talk, Suddenly, my body. It's graphic and terrible; it's lovely and poetic. It makes me think about valuing bodies, understanding connections between our bodies and nature, and a healing journey. I leave you with it, because it feels like pure ecofeminism to me.

Alright. Another forum game.
Answer the question above you.Leave a new question to keep the game rolling.
How to ask:Ask a question where the next poster has to choose an option that you give. Let's make them choose, not open-ended questions. Sort of like 'Would you rather'. Shorthand questions are OK. Like so...
Person 1:

Night or day?
Depends on the Day. I'm kind of a night/day owl so night and day for me.

Book or eBook?
Book, without doubt
tea or coffee?
Sea or mountain?

Did you know?
The little town of Graskop is famous for its pancakes. Try Harry's Pancakes for a morning or afternoon snack.
God's Window is a highlight along what is known as the Panorama Route in the eastern Mpumalanga province. The natural wonders on the route range from cascading waterfalls to impressive mountain gorges. Along with God's Window, other well-known spots on the route include Bourke's Luck Potholes, the Three Rondavels, the Mac Mac Falls and the Blyde River Canyon.
God's Window is one the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve's most spectacular viewpoints, with astonishing views over South Africa's Lowveld (so-named because it is much lower than the high escarpment along which the Panorama Route runs. At God's Window, majestic cliffs plunge down 700m and, on a clear day, you'll be able to see over the famous Kruger National Park towards the Lebombo Mountains on South Africa's border Mozambique.
The reserve is also home to various species of antelope, and viewing sites are provided along the length of the canyon.
Known as the largest 'green canyon' in the world, the Blyde River Canyon is a 33km-long gorge that stretches from Bourke's Luck Potholes to the Three Rondavels near Blydepoort Dam. Aside from its spectacular scenery, the canyon is one of the best birding spots in the country. It's also a popular adventure destination.
The towns of Lydenberg and White River are gateways to the Panorama Route. Other quaint hamlets in the area include Sabie, Graskop, Orighstand, Hoedspruit and Hazyview.
The most famous town in the region is Pilgrims' Rest, now something of a living museum and tribute to the gold panning days of the late 1800s. When you visit, you'll step straight back into the pages of the past. South of Pilgrim's Rest, you can visit the Mount Sheba Nature Reserve, home to more than 100 species of indigenous trees, including yellowwood, white stinkwood, Cape chestnut and mountain cedar.

Email: email@example.com
How to get here
From Graskop, travel on the R532 towards the Blyde River Canyon. Turn onto the R534 and there is a sign on the right after a few kilometres to the parking lot at God's Window. Try to avoid public and school holidays when it will be more crowded, and if your visit does coincide with these times, try to go as early as possible.
Best time to visit
God's Window is a good viewpoint on and off all year, but some days are clearer than others.
Around the area
Be sure to stop at some of the region's beautiful waterfalls: Lone Creek Falls, Mac Mac Falls and the Berlin and Lisbon Falls.
Tours to do
While the lower viewpoint is just a short walk from the car park and is spectacular, it's well worth taking the path up through the mist forest to the upper viewpoints. The climb will be worth it!
Get around
You can hire a guide or drive yourself around the Panorama Route.
What will it cost
If you are just driving the Panorama Route in a day, it will cost very little. There are small entry fees per car to some viewpoints such as some of the waterfalls, God's Window, the Three Rondavels, and Bourke's Luck Potholes.
What to pack
Binoculars, camera, sunscreen and a hat.
Where to stay
There is a wide range of accommodation along the Panorama Route from luxury game lodges and bush spas to cheap and cheerful B&Bs.
What to eat
The region is famous for its pancakes, with Graskop being a particularly good pancake stop.
What's happening
The Panorama Route is an adventure-seeker's paradise. There is rock climbing, abseiling, caving, white-water rafting, bungee jumping, 4x4 routes, and trails for horse-riding, mountain biking, quad-biking and hiking.
Best buys
There are many souvenir sellers at God's Window and along the Panorama Route. They expect you to barter, so do!

[color=darkblue]the only bbq I want to eat is MINE.
we don't eat out much at all and if we do it is something we can take home. when I bbq I have the freshest meat (we live on a farm), I cook on a weber grill (I gave to my husband for his birthday) and I always double or triple dip my meat in the sauce and cook slowly to set the flavor in. It is um um good. let me just say nobody has every turned it down. :D [size=24]Happy grilling, from Tamie[/color][/size]

What more can we need?!?
I wish I had more money....
I live in poverty with a ancient iPhone 4, and no iPad....so sad. Donations are gladly accepted in these trying times.
I actually purchased iPad2 last week. but have been thinking of returning it. I upgraded it to iOS5 but there hasn't been a JB release for it, while all the other devices do so just thinking...by the time JB actually does come out on iPad2 maybe it would be better off to just wait for the iPad3. what u guys think?
The iOS5 JB will most likely be out- between Halloween and Christmas. (my guess)
Its up to you.
But if you wait, you'll probably be waiting longer as the iPad 3 JB will be more difficult (and take longer) than this one....
Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship towards apple? I love their products but I hate how much power and revenue they're generating
I personally think that the delay in the iPhone 4S is due in part by Apple trying to match production to "upgrade eligibility" I'd almost bet that we will see a 5 and then a 5S and so on and so forth. Look forward to iPhone refreshes being on an 18 month refresh schedule...
Ture that, on the fact that even if ipad3 comes out it's gonna take a long time to JB.
I guess it'll be worth it to have ipad2 till then and make an upgrade to iPad3 if I really want to.
probably would loose 2~300bucks but if I think about it, it would be worth it.
Anyways, thanks for the words
They truly understand the power of brand, really understands the marketing business.
They knew that they wouldn't get as much of a positive response of iphone4S when they did the conference,
but they knew that they would still make waaay more money by making iphone4S because people will buy it (and upgrade)
bottom line, Apple really know what their doing.
We're pretty much screwed, but love apple at the same time.
No more rumors. I can't take anymore after what just happened.
I love my iPad 2 it blows the iPhone out the water!!!
Is there future iPad3 will have stereo speakers ?
I hope the new iPad can scan and print money so I can pay back my credit card when I rush to the shelves to pick one up.

A young girl suffered serious facial injuries following a collision with a van on the A350 near Melksham's ASDA store at 2.41pm today.
She was trying to cross the road to get to the store at the southbound crossing, when she was hit by a white van.
First Aid staff at the store were alerted but an off-duty paramedic treated the 11-year-old at the scene while waiting for ambulance crews to arrive.
The Wiltshire Air Ambulance attended but was not needed and the girl was eventually taken to the Royal United Hospital, Bath, for further treatment. Her condition is not believed to be life-threatening.
Her parents were not with her at the time, but have been informed.
ASDA store security guard Chris Law went to treat the girl, along with colleague Richard Meech.
Mr Law said: "She was about 10 years old and with a friend. She definitely had a broken nose, and I think she lost some teeth as well.
"The ambulance was there within five or ten minutes, and the helicopter landed soon after, but I don't think it was needed in the end.
"They were being really good, just trying to keep her calm."
Mr Meech said: "I took the first aid box out but the paramedic was there already. She was covered in blood, it was a horrible sight, but it could have been a whole lot worse.
"It just makes you realise how important it is to have people who know first aid."
Two lanes of the A350 were blocked off while emergency services attended the incident, causing delays as far back as Lackham.
Sergeant Barrie Card, of Wiltshire Police's serious collision investigation team said: "I can say someone was knocked over on the crossing, and they've been taken to the RUH.
"I believe it was a 10-year-old girl. She had physical and head injuries, and I don't know her condition at this time.
"We are appealing for witnesses, so if anyone saw anything they can contact us on 101."

A couple months ago the world was introduced to Google's Chromium. In short, it's a browser that does a few OS things - but when finished it's going to be an internet client machine with little to no functionality beyond this.
I scoffed as have a lot of people. Google's a big company after all, but Microsoft OWNS the desktop. After 15 years of trying Linux has barely put a scratch in the Windows market share. Apple has had only slightly more success. How does Google think they can beat Windows. I had my laugh, cracked some jokes and forgot about Chromium. After all, it isn't going to run my PC games and can't do anything but browse so I don't need it. Grandpa and Grandma can barely figure out how the mouse works might like the simplification, but I don't care.
Or at least I didn't. Funny thing happened at work.
I am a web developer and my current job is building a database application for a medical billing company. My boss hates Microsoft with a passion and has instructed me to only test the application in Firefox 3.5. He doesn't care if it works on anything else.
I was thinking about this one day when it occurred to me, that directive is how IE 6 got it's hooks in the first place - make sure the company intranet pages work on IE 6, to hell with anything else.
Microsoft won the browser war and rested on their laurels, giving IE 6 a huge amount of inertia.
So what does this have to do with Chrome and Chromium? Well, Windows got it's dominance by insuring that corporations needed Windows to run their business aps, most critically the ones they wrote themselves. However, as these have moved online the applications are becoming OS agnostic. But they aren't browser agnostic (at least not IE 6 vs the rest of the world).
Microsoft has created a pickle for themselves. IE 6 isn't supported in their newest OS, and keeping pages that worked in IE 6 working in IE 7 and 8 is next to impossible. Hence they are slowly forcing these companies to rewrite their in house stuff. Now, are these companies going to trust Microsoft not to drop support for a browser again?
Enter Chromium. First, it is only a browser. But my company only needs a browser on the computer - there are no other applications used by the staff in their day to day operations. I'm guessing there's quite a few companies out there in a similar position. Now, if chromium will run browser based software better and faster than Windows...
And if it does it cheaper...
Suddenly Google's OS doesn't look so Quixotic after all. Windows will continue to be a desktop/laptop monopoly. But it's ill equipped to handle the thin-client world. For corporations that have a lot of web based software there's a lot of attractiveness in Chromium. The limited functionality actually becomes a feature in this environment.
And if Google succeeds in this they can thank IE 6 for creating the favorable environment and getting corporations to move off OS specific applications in the first place.
For the prior 15 years it was IBM who owned the PC (it still has the name they gave their first model) and Microsoft was just one of the minor companies supplying code to IBM. Even though they parted company after 9 years it still took Microsoft a further 6 years to knock IBM from the top spot and take over that spot for themselves. They did that with a huge marketing campaign for a minor DOS upgrade that just happened to be incompatible with all the other DOS versions around at the time (and was nowhere near being the best operating system available - both IBM and Microsoft had better ones).
If Microsoft could do that with a minor product and a huge amount of marketing then obviously Google is well placed now to do exactly the same thing and claim the top spot from Microsoft.
Off topic but your boss is a moron.
Letting personal feelings impact business decisions, geesh. If your users are using IE then they will care if it works in their browser or not, and they are the only people that matter.
He is not a moron. IntRAnet - learn to read. We assign, own, and fully control the computers that use the software. The company writes the user's paychecks - they can use Firefox and like it or find another job. The web pages in question are blocked from the greater Internet by a firewall.
IE is veritable security minefield. Also, investing time in making the pages work on multiple machines is an unjustifiable expense. So it has to work in 1 browser only. I code to standards so it should work in Chrome and Safari, but I'm not obligated to test it in those browsers (and not allowed to do so on company time).
Impossible to read anything that isn't actually stated in your post. Perhaps you should learn to be more clear in your postings.
I am a web developer and my current job is building a database application for a medical billing company. My boss hates Microsoft with a passion and has instructed me to only test the application in Firefox 3.5. He doesn't care if it works on anything else.
Intranet? Nope, nowhere in the project description...
Now if you had posted
He doesn't care if it works on anything else because our browser standard is Firefox 3.5 on our corporate Intranet
Then it would have been clear.
Best of luck to you
but implied since few internet users are medical billing companies.
Yet it still has nothing to do with my level of literacy as questioned by the OP.
To make assumptions like that when posting information is intellectual laziness at best. To then jump down someone's throat because you made that assumption is unacceptable in polite society (and yes I know the Internet is about as far from polite society as we will ever get). There is nothing in the original post that states or even infers that Firefox 3.5 is the only browser that the users can use and if it were included as a statement of fact it would completely change the meaning of the original sentence as per my example.
The OP's original overall comments are valid ones, only the response of his tone was out of line.
At the end of the day, 20 years ago we had mainframes and thin clients and the such and we got rid of them, it's funny that we are now going back towards that model.
I have doubts that cloud computing will exterminate the desktop and private servers worldwide because Google/Amazon who are pushing this in a big way are US companies and are thus subject to US laws. People's data is valuable and private and for that reason companies/governments outside the USA cannot (often by law) host that data outside their borders or with US owned companies in fear that the US government will force those companies to divulge that data.
I love the concept and have great faith in the companies themselves but for that simple reason none of the government projects that I work on would ever be able to make use of their services.
tke, I owe you an apology. I'm not the most diplomatic person on the site by a long stretch.
Anyway, this move back to thin-client/server land is interesting, but motivated largely by the allure of subscription software since that is a constant revenue stream. Time was when the hardware and software growth made peole want to stay current, but these days even software that is several years old is more than powerful enough for most needs. I myself use Office 2003 and see no need to upgrade, same with Macromedia Fireworks 8.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2011 (2119 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When the words Germany or German are uttered, the mind is deluged with powerful and contradictory images. It doesn't matter if you are a student of German history or not, or even if your only impressions of the Deutsche are from TV and the movies.
Bismarck, the Kaiser, Hitler and the Holocaust. The Nuremberg trials. The Wall and the police state of East Germany. But also Goethe, Hesse and Mann, Wagner, Mozart and Bach, Schweitzer, Kant and Hegel, Von Braun, Guttenberg and Einstein.
Also, soaring Gothic cathedrals, Octoberfest, beer and the Volkswagen. The list goes on. Is there any other people or state that evokes so many ideas and images of evil and beauty, destruction and accomplishment?
So entrenched was the idea of the bad German, however, that when reunification occurred 20 years ago, then-British prime minister Margaret Thatcher and French president François Mitterand were secretly opposed. They feared it wouldn't be long before a united Germany would flex its biceps and threaten the peace once again.
That, of course, hasn't happened. In fact, the opposite is true. The Germans have become peaceniks, the spiked helmet replaced with progressive internationalism. It's a fascinating evolution, and it's not over yet.
Naturally, therefore, there was a great deal of anticipation when the editorial board of the Free Press met this week with Germany's ambassador to Canada, Georg Witschel, and Sabine Sparwasser, the German consul general in Toronto.
Despite our best intentions, the subject of war did come up, but it wasn't THAT war.
Germany has been criticized internationally for its antipathy to making war. It stayed out of Libya and its forces have been quartered in the relatively safer areas of northern Afghanistan, drawing heat from its NATO partners that it wasn't pulling its weight. Some observers even lamented, half-heartedly, the demise of the Prussian martial spirit.
Our German guests, however, said Germany has lost 60 soldiers in Afghanistan and its contribution is the second-largest, after the United States. On Libya, the Germans stressed the need for peaceful resolution of the conflict and warned against the unintended consequences of armed intervention, reasonable positions at the time, but unfortunately on the wrong side of history today, at least so far. Witschel added Germany was not neutral in the conflict and it is making major contributions to rebuilding the shattered country. The country also has troops in the Balkans.
But Witschel went further in explaining Germans today are revolted by war. After two world wars and the Holocaust, how could they not be? They were the perpetrators of the most ghastly conflicts in world history, the people who turned Europe into a dark continent for most of the 20th century and caused some victims to wonder if poetry would ever be possible again. Other people lost their faith, saying a good God would never have allowed so much suffering.
"Our appetite for war is low," Witschel said.
Germany is leading the rescue effort of the euro and Greece today, Witschel said, not because it wants to dominate Europe or merely because it wants to protect its own parochial interests, but because it genuinely believes in the concept of a peaceful, prosperous and co-operative Europe.
"If we lose the euro," Witschel said, "we could lose Europe. We don't want that to happen. We love Europe."
He said Europe will have to become more integrated in the future, which means every country in the collective would have to give up still more of its sovereignty for the common good.
"We believe in a European Germany, not a German Europe," he said.
With the exceptions of the seal hunt and dirty oil, Germany has no issues with Canada. In fact, it is learning a lot from us on the subject of multiculturalism.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently said "multiculturalism (in Germany) has been a failure," but she did not mean that the concept was wrong, just that Germans did not understand how to implement it.
When Turkish workers were imported to fill labour shortages in the 1960s, they were called "guest workers," not new Germans, and it was assumed they would return home at some time. But they stayed and raised families without any state-sponsored support to ensure they integrated. Subsequent waves of immigrants were tolerated, but ignored, resulting in the creation of ethnic suburbs and social tensions.
"We created parallel societies," Sparwasser said. "Children often paid the price because even though they were born here, they didn't speak the language (and) that created problems in school and in the workforce."
As a result, German officials have been visiting Canada to learn from our experience at welcoming newcomers, who receive language and job training, and other supports to help them succeed. Everyone has a right to follow their own religion and customs, but they are also treated as equals in a society where everyone, except aboriginals, is a descendant of immigrants.
We may not have reached the end of history, but Germany has shown societies can transcend history and purge their malevolent strains.

Spice of Month: Peppercornsby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, February 7, 2012
This under-appreciated spice is anything but ordinary. Grab your pepper mills – we're serving up fresh facts and 10 recipes that make pepper the star.
Peppercorn Basics
A prized commodity dating back to ancient Egypt, pepper is more than just a black powder to mindlessly sprinkle. Grown from the Piper nigrum (a.k.a. pepper plant), peppercorns are available in a rainbow of colors.
The most common variety, black peppercorns, are slightly immature berries that have been dried. Malabar and Indian Tellicherry are two popular varieties, bursting with aromatic warmth.
White peppercorns are fully mature berries whose skins have been removed. They have less heat than the black variety and are ground into a white powder typically used to avoid black specks in food.
Green peppercorns are unripened berries, most commonly found preserved in brine and used to liven up sauces with a punch of salty vinegar and spice.
Some peppercorn blends will also feature pink peppercorns. While these pricey berries look and taste similar, they aren't true peppercorns. Grown from a special variety of rose plant native to Madagascar and imported from France, pink peppercorns are spicy with a hint of extra sweetness.
One tablespoon of ground pepper has 16 calories, 1 gram of protein, 2 grams of fiber and 13% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin K.
What to do With Peppercorns
You're probably used to seasoning meats, veggies, marinades, salad dressings and just about anything else you grill, sauté or roast with ground pepper. For an extra peppery bite, season foods both before and after cooking. Use whole peppercorns to infuse flavor into stocks and sauces and cracked peppercorns to encrust meats like beef and pork. Pepper can also bring a warm bite to sweet recipes like cookies and infused syrups to pour over fruit or ice cream.
Shopping and Storage Tips
Store whole peppercorns in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year. For best flavor, grind as needed. Pre-ground pepper will lose its flavor quickly so use within 3 to 4 months of purchase.

This is where my love of dance started… The Greek Festival. When I was in fifth grade, my dad took me to the Greek Festival in Tucson, AZ. My dad and I jumped in during the open call for Greek dance lessons mid-afternoon and we were the last two to leave the dance floor at closing time.
Greece holds a special place in my family's history. My parents met at Athens Community High School in Athens, Greece when both of my grandfathers were stationed at Athenai Air Force Base. My parents and grandparents have fond memories of Athens, and I love hearing the stories of the Greek culture, music, food, and of my parents falling in love. My mother even won Miss Teenage America while living in Greece and sang a medley from The Sound of Music for her talent portion of the competition.
So when I saw the Facebook announcement for the local Greek Festival, I marked it on my calendar. I was so excited to take the kids and dance. Unfortunately, we waited until the last night and so there wasn't an opportunity to dance with the kids. Instead, we ate amazing food and then ate some more. Then I soaked in the joy of the dancers and their relatives who were so proud shouting 'Opa!', while taking pictures and throwing dollar bills on the tops of their favorite dancer's heads.
All the dance groups from Kindergarten to young adults danced separately and then together for an impressive finale. The costumes were magnificent and the music and dancing just made me smile. I felt as if I was in fifth grade all over again wishing I could just pull my dad onto the floor to dance to one more song.
Next year, I am dancing. Nothing is stopping me. And perhaps, just perhaps I might consider converting to the Greek Orthodox church just so I can jump on top of this pyramid.
This past weekend, my family celebrated my maternal grandmother's 80th birthday. I loved hearing her stories and her advice for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
My hope is that in the next couple of years, my family makes it a priority to travel to Greece together. Oh how I would treasure seeing Greece along side of my parents and three grandparents. And better yet, just one more dance with my dad.
Blessings sweet friends,
Attending the Greek Festival was a part of my 39 list -> I'm 39 now but am determined to complete that list in addition to completing my 40 list this year before November 20, 2013.Tweet

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
By NICO SCHINAGL
Think the economy is hurting your profit margin? Think again.
Because your enemy could be among your own sales team, leaving everything on the negotiating table and giving away add-ons like candy on Halloween. How else can you explain that, faced with the same economic conditions and stiff competition, some of your salespeople rarely give away discounts while others make it the norm rather than the exception. How are some of your salespeople able to explain and defend your value proposition in front of every customer, while others explain to your management team that without drastic discounts, the business they secured would have been lost for sure.
Your objective is to ensure that your company sells more to more people more frequently and especially at higher margins. Stop talking to your CFO about finding new ways to reduce your costs. Instead, the next time you sit down with your sales team, dig a little deeper than how the quarterly numbers compare to last year. You will find that by analyzing one metric and following a set of simple strategies you will be able to identify who in your sales force is playing for your team and who should be playing for somebody else.
The reasons for this profit discrepancy among a sales team are not that important. It could be your bonus plan is compensating the wrong metric (sales versus profit) or simply aligned to measure quantity of sales instead of quality of sales. Or the majority of your sales staff simply does not understand the true impacts of your value proposition to the market and thus only pursues the easiest customers while offering the biggest discounts right off the bat. Better to leave the reasons behind and focus on the way to identify the problem and develop strategies to fix it.
Identifying the Problem
Have your business intelligence manager prepare the following quick analysis of the sales team for your inspection:
Ranking by average profit
Taken into account volume or deal size and also special key account negotiation terms, have them prepare a ranking of the average profit margin generated per salesperson during the last 12 months. Have them insert the average overall company profit margin as an indicator of who is above this percentage and who is below. It's helpful to add another column identifying the salesperson with regard to their sales ranking in the total sales generated scenario. I know it sounds simple – the best strategies are – but when was the last time you did this. The results will bring some light unto your sales effort and maybe a tear to your eyes. You will be surprised that:
Fixing the Problem
The strategies are straightforward and can be implemented individually or in combination:
It's simple: The economic conditions are already bad enough and your growth opportunities limited, so at least make sure the people in front of your customers are not only chasing their commission, but helping your company to construct your brand, reputation and an attractive double-digit profit margin.

Remember when Homeland Security would raise their alerts from "guarded" to "elevated?" That's a fitting analogy to what I'm seeing in the market, and it's the reason I've been putting out alerts that suggest we need to protect profits on any current long positions. I even put together a video illustrating, over the years, how many S&P 500 moves have terminated temporarily at extensions of prior swings.
What really gets me watching an index (or stock) for possible failure is when the price meets the minimum target for most of my trade setups -- that is, the 1.272 extension of the swing into the setup zone. An example of this is when the S&P 500 hit a low on June 4 of last year, finally reaching the 1.272 extension at 1464.71. When this happened, I had to consider that the S&P was vulnerable to a healthy downside correction.
At that time, the index did end up trading a bit higher into another price projection. But, soon thereafter, it embarked on a 131.16-point decline into the November 2012 lows. However, because we were aware of this possibility, we were poised to trade into the pullback when it actually began in earnest.
I find the market in a similar place today, as the S&P has now reached the 1510 handle -- the minimum upside target off the November 2012 lows -- and is starting to approach target 2 around the 1555 handle. At the same time, we are also looking at a confluence of Fibonacci timing cycles that tell us the odds for a corrective decline are higher than usual.
The above chart illustrates a cluster of Fibonacci timing cycles the S&P is currently testing -- they are due between now and the week of Feb .22. (If the chart looks familiar, it's because I have posted it before in Columnist Conversation.)
Bottom line: We're seeing a "warning" for a potential corrective decline -- one that's coming from both the timing and price axes of the market.
But does this mean we need to exit the market or that we should short it? No. Rather, this basically tells us we should trail up stops a bit closer than usual and be prepared -- on proper reversal indications -- to either exit positions and/or turn it around for a trade. I'm not trying to call a crash here, but the rubber band is a bit stretched here at current levels.
Here's one thing I've been watching every day: the five- and 13-day exponential moving averages on the daily chart. Right now, they are still in a bullish position. One of the first indications that this rally may be over, at least temporarily, will be when the five-day EMA crosses below the 13-day on the daily chart.
So this market could very well continue to rally, as participants who continue to expect a decline may fuel another spike up with their short positions. But, in my daily updates, I continue to call myself a cautious bull. I have overused this phrase almost as much as CNBC harped on "fiscal cliff" -- but, even if I do sound like a broken record, I would rather be safe than sorry, and remain on alert to a possible failure in the next couple of weeks.
In the meantime, for the past few weeks I have continued to set up trades that involve buying on pullbacks, and I'll continue to do so until this market tells me the tide has turned.
