Bravissimo Bras (self.ABraThatFits)
submitted 10 months ago by stoshumala1732GG
I have been looking around and they seem to have good quality bras (am I right????) And I was wondering if anyone knew if they were true to their sizes, or if they tended to run big or small.
[–]t_maia40HH UK 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
The reason those bras are said to run small is because they are tight in the top. The bras are made for a bottom-heavy shape with medium to narrow wires. Especially the Balconettes do not allow a lot of volume in the top.
So the bras can give you quadboob despite being the right size if you have more volume in the upper cup than the bras allow.
[–]smiletotheleft 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
From my experience, their balconettes and half-cups run one cup size smaller than my normal UK size, and their plunges run two cup sizes smaller than my normal UK size. I keep the band size the same, though. Hope this helps!
[–]ae3nn[Large Band Large Bust] 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I've found that some of their bras run tight, specifically Fleur and Contour Strapless, whereas others run as expected (Rococo Charm, Satine). Since these are all old models, and they've just released a new collection, I have no idea how the bands will run. I haven't noticed anything about the cup sizes, though. You will probably want to check on the specific model you're interested in.
[–]XLhourglass34JJish (UK) 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Yes, good quality and very beautiful bras - I love Bravissimo so much :D I'd say their non-padded bras run about a cup small, except their full-cups, which are more true to size. Padded cups are also pretty true, I'd say.
[–]WhereTheWildThings 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I would agree with this, although I apparently have very 'round' breasts so going up a cup is fairly normal.

Well, I'm at my summer job on the Alaska Peninsula, the stretch of land that separates the Bering Sea from the North Pacific Ocean, before the Aleutian Islands begin. It is a very remote area of Alaska. Some funky weather, a lot of bears, and some scenery too. I brought the Pugs out with me this year for kicks and giggles, and it is performing admirably so far. Lots of black volcanic sand beaches to ride on.
Heading out from Port Moller, riding north along the Bering Sea:

In his message he said "I was following up on the resume you submited, if you can please give me a call..." . About 10 minutes later I called him back and left a voicemail. I called back Thursday and Friday and left a message still no call back. I called back again on Monday, again no call back. Finally on Tuesday October 15, 2013 he finally answers. I tell him my name and that I recieved his voicemail about the open position and he says "I'm sorry we are going with other candidates for this position". This was the most rediculous thing that's ever happened during my job search process. I was completely baffled by the unprofessionalism.

HANKS fAMILY Complete Ancestral History from John Hanks 1470ce * Worldhistory2012.com HANKS FAMILY TREE ll of the branches of the Hanks Family in England and America seem to have come from the beautiful town of Malmesbury in Wiltshire. It was not far from Malmesbury, in Edington, that in 878 A.D. Alfred the Great defeated the Danes who had over run the whole kingdom of the West Saxons.All the Malmesbury men that fought under Alfred the Great in this battle, were rewarded with certain tracts of land which are still held by descendants of these old families. Among these so called "commoners", each of whom had 500 acres, were two brothers by the name of John and George Hanks, whose descendants still hold the commoners rights in Malmesbury. King Athelstan the Grandson of Alfred the Great having given them a charter, King John another later, etc. The ancient town of Malmesbury is 96 miles from London. The celebrated Foss road, on the great four military roads which the Romans constructed, runs near Malmesbury, through Gloucester shire, Stow and other cities up to London and York, and into the far north, to Scotland. Malmesbury is also neat and the marvelous ruins of Stone hedge, were built it is believed, ages ago by the ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids. As the word ank in H "ank" S itself is and Egyptian word meaning soul, it is believed that this family had lived in Malmesbury for ages. They were a clannish race and for four centuries it is said, many of them never left their native home. It is recorded that one of Hanks family was at one time shot by other members of the family when he ventured to leave the native home and they feared he would "mix the breed". That was nearly a thousand years ago when it was a crime to leave the town to sleep in King Athelstan time. It was along the old Foss road, that the descendants of the Hanks family traveled when they first left their native heath. The surname Hanks: is derived from the Old Norse Personal name Anki of unknown derivation, and the Flemish personal name Hank. Thus the surname Hanks signifies "son of Anki, or son of Hank." The Flemish personal name Hank is a pet-form of John, ultimately from the Hebrew Johanan, meaning "Jehovah has favored". Variants of the surname Hanks, include Anke, Hankes, and Hancks. Earliest references to the surname are of the Norse derivation. For example, one named Anke de Ankinson is recorded in the "Pipe Rolls" of Lincolnshire in 1194. 16th generation: John A Hanks * Birth about 1470 in Buckland, Gloucester, England Children: I.

Johan Djourou has revealed he took a pay cut to leave Arsenal and join Hamburg on loan for the whole of next season.
Djourou has fallen out of favour under manager Arsene Wenger and was desperate to move elsewhere in order to get more first team football.
The 26-year-old defender, who has been at Arsenal since 2004, hopes playing for the Bundesliga club will give his career a much needed boost.
He said: "In London I could have earned considerably more money, but that wasn't the decisive factor. Everything was just right for me at Hamburg. Above all, the sporting aspect convinced me.
"I want to play as much as possible and to improve, and this is why I can see the ideal conditions for myself in Hamburg."
He could end up making the switch permanently should he impress as Hamburg included an option in the loan deal to talk about a transfer at the end of the campaign.

quality video. The camera gives you the option of two different types of storage medium, the first and primary being a mini dv tape and the secondary being a Sony memory stick slot. I believe the camera comes with a 8MB card, pretty tiny in this day and age. It is good enough to hold a couple 30s clips. I have not used the wealth of features this camera has, tending to only use the standard video recording, the zoom, still photo capability and the nightvision mode. Since I have not used any others I cannot comment on their functionality. The zoom is a 12x optical zoom which offers high quality magnification to allow video recording of distant objects, this is furthered ...

The Town of St. Anthony has issued a boil water advisory following an accident last week involving a chlorine tank.
The RCMP said a chlorine cylinder dislodged from a transport truck, and rolled into a ditch on Goose Cove Road on Sept. 27.
At the time, hazardous materials technicians from the St. Anthony Fire Department inspected the cylinder and deemed it safe. Officials took precautionary measures, and had evacuated the area while the cylinder was being recovered.
After the incident, the town returned the tank, as well as a second one, to the company for safety reasons — but that means the town's water is not being chlorinated.
The town said replacement tanks are expected to arrive on Thursday or Friday. Until chlorination begins again, the town says residents of St. Anthony should boil their tap water before drinking it.

Etiology of epilepsy is a factor in determining cognitive function and intellectual changes over time. The main distinction is between symptomatic epilepsy (which has an identified cause such as stroke or cortical dysplasia) and idiopathic epilepsy (which has no identified cause other than genetic factors). Lennox5 recognized that cognitive function was twice as likely to deteriorate in the presence of a known cause of epilepsy even if the idiopathic group had more frequent seizures. In another study, children with idiopathic epilepsy were more likely to conform to the expected normal distribution of intellectual ability for their age.54 A third study demonstrated that patients with symptomatic epilepsy had a mean 6-point drop in IQ during follow-up periods between 1 and 9 years. A group of normal controls had a drop of 0.7 points.17 More recent work has confirmed the poorer prognosis in patients with symptomatic epilepsy. In a longitudinal study of a group of 72 patients with epilepsy, those with the symptomatic form had a significantly lower IQ (89.1) than those with idiopathic epilepsy (102.5) on initial evaluation.23 At their last evaluation, the symptomatic group scored 88.9, versus 104.1 for the idiopathic group.

Republican Congressional Candidate "Burnin ' Vernon" Parker Terminated by SBA due to falsifying information and lack of business integrity?
by Dee Dee Garcia Blase on Apr. 11, 2012, under 2012 Presidential elections, female-led political movement, National tequila party movementThere is a lot of smoke and mirrors going on in Congressional District 9 — namely with Vernon Parker in an attempt to run for another office.
Since there seems to be confusion, allow me to cut and paste directly from the SBA website with regard to their findings and the conclusion of terminating Vernon Parker from doing business with them in the future.
Why is this important?
Because he wants us to trust him with our Arizona TAX DOLLARS!
How can he be an appropriate public servant and elected official if the SBA doesn't really trust him?
From the SBA report:
III. Facts
Petitioner was established on February 6, 2006, by its owner and president, Vernon B. Parker. Administrative Record (AR), Ex. 24 at 379 and 386. On February 17, 2006, Petitioner applied for the 8(a) program. AR, Ex. 24. On June 8, 2006, Petitioner was certified as a participant in the 8(a) program. AR, Ex. 13.
On July 3, 2008, SBA notified Petitioner of its intent to terminate Petitioner from the 8(a) program. AR, Ex. 8. Among the grounds for the proposed termination were:
- Submission of false information in the concern's 8(a) program application, regardless of whether correct information would have caused the concern to be denied admission to the program, and regardless of whether correct information was given to SBA in accompanying documents or other means. 13 C.F.R. § 134.303(a)(1);
- Conduct by the concern, or any of is principals, indicating a lack of business integrity. Such conduct may be demonstrated by information related to a criminal indictment or guilty plea, a criminal conviction, or a judgment or settlement in a civil case. 13 C.F.R. § 124.303(a)(17); AR, Ex. 8.
B. SBA's Response
On March 18, 2009, SBA responded to the Appeal. Response. SBA asserts Petitioner has failed to overcome two of the grounds for termination: submission of false information in the concern's 8(a) program application, 13 C.F.R. § 134.303(a)(1), and conduct indicating a lack of business integrity, 13 C.F.R. § 124.303(a)(17). Id. at 1.
3. Summary
For these reasons, the SBA's conclusion that Mr. Parker falsely responded that he was not a federal employee in his 8(a) program application was rational and based on the facts in the record. I find no clear error of judgment in the SBA's determination. Further, the SBA's determination that it had good cause to terminate Petitioner from the 8(a) program because of that false response was reasonable and not arbitrary, capricious, or contrary to law.
Because I have sustained the SBA's termination on one of the grounds alleged, it is not necessary to review the allegations of lack of business integrity. See Matter of Blind Detective Agency, SBA No. BDP-163 at 8 (2001).
Accordingly, I agree with the SBA and conclude the SBA's decision to terminate Petitioner from the 8(a) program is supported in the record, reasonable, and not arbitrary, capricious, or contrary to law.
V. Conclusion
Respondent Small Business Administration's decision to terminate Petitioner from the 8(a) program is NOT ARBITRARY, CAPRICIOUS, OR CONTRARY TO LAW. See 15 U.S.C. § 637(a)(9)(C); 13 C.F.R. § 134.406(b).
Subject to 13 C.F.R. § 134.409(c), this is the final decision of the Small Business Administration. See 15 U.S.C. § 637(a)(9)(D); 13 C.F.R. § 134.409(a).

French Star Nicolas Batum: 'This is Our Time'
"This is our time," he (Nicolas Batum) said. "We (France) came back from 15 down. We played like children. We didn't play our basketball. But we fought so hard to get back. We couldn't lose this game. I told him: 'I don't care who's on the court. I don't care if they're going to score or not. I'm just going to leave everything on the court.'"
"We finally beat this team (Spain)," Batum smiled. "This team have given us so many nightmare, breaking our dream every time. We wanted this win, we wanted this game. We finally did it."

Inspiration Resin Stone Driveways for Bonded Gravel Surfacing
The new fashion of driveways is all about the resin bonded gravel surfacing (or resin stone driveways to me and you). It is a rapidly spreading alternative to the traditional block paving and tarmac surfacing. It allows much more flexibility to suite you and your properties needs. You have the freedom to tailor the design and functionality to your requirements.
The other massive benefit is the speed at which it is installed. The usual turn around is 2-3 days from start to completion. Once the laying has started, it simply cannot stop! The entire surface is, and must be installed as one unit, whatever the design.
Resin stone driveways are versatile and as such, are suited to almost any application.
- Commercial & Industrial Flooring
- Interior & Exterior
- Driveways & Patios
- Pool Surrounds
- Playgrounds
Inspiration resin stone driveways (over at http://resinstonedriveways.co.uk/) a well established installation team who have a jam packed portfolio of resin bonded gravel driveways they have installed. Check their many designs to help give you inspiration on the design that would suite you.

Worse, it turned out the second- lowest scorer was Fantasia Barrino, or "Team Fantasia" in my household. Remember that name. This girl's a superstar. An unmarried teen mother with something wired screwy up top — in a good way — she favors men's songs and, as my Idol buddy Debbie pointed out, Fantasia uses her voice exactly like a great jazz saxophonist. Wow. Good luck, ladybug.
I'm not sure it's significant that last week's bottom three vote-getters were the black girls — and also the best girls. Idol isn't always that simple. Maybe people didn't think the divas three needed any help. Maybe people want to defend the underdog. Or maybe we're a nation of tone-deaf, racist, sexist player-haters.
All I know is that last week American Idol let me down. I watch the show for the creative cracks in the gloss — a sista singing Willie Nelson; Quentin Tarantino's un-ironic appearance as a guest judge; Simon Cowell's nic-fit impatience with the idiot audience. I long for the day Neil Diamond appears, and the great Jeff Barry, and Brian Wilson. Those moments, when we get to dive into the heart of our collective songbook, and feel how good it is to love a sentimental pop song, and notice how strange the best songs, and performers, are — that's the sweetest part of being American, for my money.
The thing is, the Idol is such a crafty beast, next week it could totally turn around and renew my faith in everything. There's a ghost in this machine that its British creators couldn't have foreseen. Like I said, it's the Golem, a man-made monster with a life force way beyond its maker, capable of beauty or violence when least expected.
Anyway, against all odds, there are still a couple true freaks in the running. To them I say tenderly: Hang on to your egos. Stay gold. Go down dancing, babies.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

IOC members gear up to elect new president
Outgoing IOC President Jacques Rogge (L) speaks with IOC member and FIFA President Sepp Blatter on September 9, 2013. Rogge's successor will be elected on Tuesday.
Their fate lies in the hands of fellow IOC members when they vote later on Tuesday in Buenos Aires.
They may not be locked away like the cardinals when they go into a conclave to elect the Pope, and they don't burn their voting papers after voting, but their vote is similar in that it is by secret ballot.
Their responsibility is enormous as they are voting for the president of the sporting equivalent of the United Nations.
The winner will be the flagbearer not only of the IOC values of Excellence, Respect and Friendship but also of continuing to lead the fight against doping and illegal betting to name but two daunting challenges.
In as much as one can assess what members' voting intentions are, Germany's Thomas Bach is still regarded as likely to justify his role throughout of being the favourite and be rewarded with a position he has wanted for a long time.
One of his supporters told AFP a first round win was assured: "We have more than wrestling had in their vote (they got 49 on Sunday in the first round to regain their place among the Olympic roster)."
However, in the relative privacy of pushing the button on their voting boxes some members freed from constant pressure could feel liberated and change their minds and there are those who resent the way some Bach supporters are calling the vote a done deal and a coronation.
Of the 59-year-old lawyer's rivals only two have been talked about as potentially being capable of dashing his dreams of achieving his goal: Ng Ser Miang of Singapore and Puerto Rico's Richard Carrion.
The 64-year-old China-born Ng, Singapore's ambassador to Norway, is extremely popular among the membership.
However, the victory of Tokyo in the race to host the 2020 Olympics on Saturday damaged his chances as members could be loathe to give Asia two golden prizes in such a short space of time.
Carrion, responsible for brokering the record $4.38 billion (3.3 billion euros) broadcasting deal with NBC to have exclusive US coverage of the Olympics through to 2020, has presidential bearing and espoused powerful arguments in his campaign, but his lack of a sporting background is likely to hurt his chances.
Thus the likelihood is that at 1400GMT, when voting begins, the odds are that at the end of it Europe will retain its stranglehold over the presidency -- the controversial American Avery Brundage is the only non European to have held the office.
Should Bach be elected -- becoming the first Olympic champion to be IOC President -- there could well be a frosty exchange between him and one of his rivals, Swiss lawyer Denis Oswald.
The 66-year-old Oswald, realising he had no chance of winning, decided to vent his feelings about the German.
"I don't believe he and I share the same values," said the 66-year-old, president of the Rowing Federation.
"I imagine a president who is independent, who is not dependent solely on alliances with other people and who does not use his position for anything else but the defence of sport."

Report: Turkey Arms Syrian Rebels With Anti-Aircraft Missiles
US Officials Fear Weapons Could Be Used on Civilian Aircraft
Reports coming out of Syria today suggest that the Free Syrian Army has been given approximately two dozen shoulder mounted surface-to-air missiles to use against Syrian warplanes, the first time the rebel faction has acquired such weaponry.
The arms were apparently delivered to the rebels by Turkey, though whether they provided them directly or they were "gifted" by way of one of the many Gulf states also pouring cash and weaponry into the rebellion is unknown.
A Free Syrian Army spokesman denied that the missiles had been delivered, but claimed that the faction had a "surprise" for the Syrian military, which it is currently fighting across the northern portion of the country.
The Obama Administration is not believed to be involved in this particularly effort to arm the rebels, and US officials have expressed concern that the addition of SAMs to the rebel arsenal could have unforeseen consequences, and that the rebels might attack civilian aircraft in the area as well as warplanes.

EAST SYRACUSE -- Two local school districts are among only 388 school districts nationwide being honored by the College Board with a place on its AP Achievement List.
The list honors schools across the country for making significant gains in Advanced Placement (AP) access and student performance.
The East Syracuse Minoa School District and Baldwinsville School District are among the schools being recognized for their efforts in opening AP classroom doors to a significantly broader pool of students, while maintaining or improving the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher.
According to a news release issued to CNY Central, from 2008 to 2010, ESM increased the number of students participating in AP by 30 percent, while improving the percentage of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 or higher, the score typically needed to earn college credit.
"This exemplifies the focus of our strategic plan and our commitment in preparing our students to excel in a complex, interconnected, changing world," said Superintendent Dr. Donna DeSiato.
The Baldwinsville Central School District says it has increased the number of students participating in AP from 249 to 296, while increasing the percentage of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 or higher from 70 percent in 2008 to 72 percent in 2010.
Many local school districts offer AP courses to help better prepare students for the demands of college courses.
"Participation in college-level AP courses can level the playing field for underserved students, give them the confidence needed to succeed in college, and raise standards and performance in key subjects like science and math," said College Board President Gaston Caperton.

The roses with the melon baller were a nightmare. Tried and tried ended up with about 10 roses and the rest sprinkles
Like Caetlyn, I gave this a 5 too, not sure why it's showing 3 and a half :(
My sister made this for my birthday. Wow! It was so delicious and I could not believe how beautiful it looked. Made me feel very special.
My sponge was really flat and unable to be cut into three layers. Is this because there is no rising agent such as Bicarb or baking powder in this recipe? I had to remake the sponge using another recipe. The mousse was really nice and a great colour, the chocolate curls didnt always look like the picture but were Ok anyway. I would make again for a special occasion. This recipes creates lots of dishes!
I gave it a 5, not sure why it came out a 3.5! :-)
I love this cake. I've made it a few tiems for birthday cakes and it's been a hit with everyone. It is lovely with the raspberries, but I've made it a couple of times with strawberries too, and it was delicious! Be careful when adding the pink dye to the chocolate - if you add too much its almost like it curdles the chocolate, it goes quite powdery and pliable, almost like royal icing.
Amazing!! I wanted a special cake for a birthday and this cake was definitely special!! It does take a bit of work but is well worth the fiddling. Yummmmmmm......I think I may use the raspberry mouse in a parfait also!
I have made this cake today for my birthday. My notes on this are as follows: the melon baller doesn't work because a) the recipe asks you to leave the chocolate for too long considering it has been separated into cold bowls before hitting the cold bench. 5 minutes would suffice. b) the melon ballers edges are too thick, i used a plastic measuring teaspoon from woolworths which has a thin edge and a rounded shape to it, my curls worked perfectly. i bought the sponge ready made and i iced mine with icing from betty crocker. i chilled the mouse separate to the cake and then whipped it before filling the layers. the cake tastes fantastic and looks amazing.
takes a long time to make but the effort is worth it. It tastes divine! A real crowed pleaser!
Tastes amazing!!! lovely cake!! the raspberry with the white chocolate combination is yummy!! The only downside was the region were the mousse and the sponge cake meet, it turned grayish/green!! i'm not sure why but it still tasted awesome!!! Instead of using plain cornflour in the cake I used custard powder. It gave a really nice taste to the whole cake love it!! I didn't get the really nice curls but i managed to get nice shavings. nice cake but you should only attempt it if you are confident!!
I made this cake for a girls night in function. Everyone was impressed. It took ages to make. I cheated by buying the sponge cake - strongly recommended. Like the others I ended up with Chocolate flakes. Still tasted great.
I only used the chocolate curls idea from this recipe to top off a gluten free cake. I followed the instructions, but when I ran the melon baller across to do the curls, it created something more like flakes. And when i added the dye for the pink curls, the whole mix just crumbled. Waste of $25 on chocolate. Very disappointed, won't bother again!
This cake tasted good but was frustrating to make. Here are things I would do differently if I made it again: The sponge didn't rise. Next time I will beat the egg white separately to the yolk+sugar and then combine. I will also put in a bit of baking powder. I didn't let the raspberries thaw enough before using them. Will make sure they're fully thawed next time! The gelatine I will prepare right before mixing it with the other stuff. Mine went too cold and lumpy. Will mix it with a little bit of the other mixture first then work it into the full mixture. I will also put in more gelatine as the mousse was a bit too runny. I will put aside much more time for making it - it took way way longer than 45 minutes!
For all the work involved in this cake I really don't think it's worth it. It tastes fine but I can think of many other recipes that taste better & are a lot quicker to make. But of course the presentation is quite amazing.
I made this for a special birthday, a bit of a challenge but definitely worth the effort!!
Great recipe. Easy to follow. Mousse was slightly runny but still tasted yum.
I was very disappointed with this recipe. The sponge went flat and mousse wasn't very fluffy. I would suggest separating the eggs and beating the whites separately. It took forever to prepare (if anyone can do it in 45mins i'm impressed!) and created a mountain of dishes. The end result looked impressive, just as the picture but id say the taste was not that exciting. It really is only sponge layered with raspberry mousse. The only hint of white chocolate comes from the curls on top...which was disappointing. When making the curls id suggest using a board as i had to constantly refrigerate the chocolate as it kept going soft. All in all it took way too much effort for not a very exciting result and i wouldn't cook it again. If you are desperate for a recipe like this i'd suggest finding a great mousse recipe and a great sponge recipe then layering the two rather than using this recipe.
This cake looked amazing!! I made it for my mums 50th! The mouse is the best part!! Quite fiddly, but the end result is amazing!
Absolute crowd pleaser.... impresses the toughest judges - mum's & mother-in-laws!!

Sarkozy announces crackdown on Internet hate sites
PARIS (Reuters) - President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Thursday that France would make it a crime to consult Web sites that advocate terrorism or hate crimes and would toughen a crackdown on people who went abroad for ideological indoctrination.
"From now on, any person who habitually consults Web sites that advocate terrorism or that call for hatred and violence will be criminally punished," Sarkozy said in a televised address after police shot dead an al Qaeda-inspired gunman who had killed seven people.
"France will not tolerate forced recruitment or ideological indoctrination on its soil," Sarkozy said, adding that an enquiry would be launched into whether prisons were being used to propagate extremism in France.
He said authorities were investigating whether Mohamed Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman of Algerian origin, acted alone in the shootings of three Jewish children and four adults in southwest France.
Merah died on Wednesday in a hail of bullets when he jumped from a window after elite police commandos entered the apartment where he was holed up following a seige of more than 30 hours.
