Richard Branson: "Create a European army - and privatise Radio 1"
The Virgin entrepreneur and adventurer talks to David Miliband about tax avoidance, Bob Diamond, why Europe needs a joint army and why he'll never back any one political party.
By David Miliband Published 11 July 2012I first met Richard Branson while canvassing in west London in a by-election in the 1980s. He was polite but noncommittal. He said he couldn't speak for his wife – but she was in the bath and so would have to be marked down as a "maybe". I wanted to interview him because even though many people think the political world is all about tactics, he has made a name challenging incrementalism. We met at the Running Horse pub in central London, after a dinner with the former US president Jimmy Carter, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the former president of Ireland Mary Robinson to mark the fifth anniversary of the Elders.
DM You've created the Elders with Nelson Mandela as your guide. Why?
RB The Elders partly came from being an entrepreneur for many years and seeing quite a number of conflicts around the world, starting off with the Vietnamese conflict. I left school and started a magazine and, like a lot of students of my age [thought], the magazine was designed to campaign against that and the Biafran war.
DM Do you think the Iraq war was the same kind of mistake as Vietnam?
RB Absolutely. And I do believe that there should be other ways of resolving conflicts, rather than to have to go and kill and maim several hundred thousand Iraqi people. So, to have some leaders come in and try to bring some [reason] to the situation makes sense.
DM Tell me about bold, brassy business goals and bold political goals. What's the difference?
RB I think it's easier for an entrepreneur to have long-term goals. This is our 27th year of running Virgin Atlantic and we can think 20 years ahead. Obviously one of the difficulties of a democracy is that people start talking about a politician overstaying their welcome after eight years, let alone . . .
DM Shall we recommend longer terms for politicians?
RB I certainly think there should be half the number of politicians and they should all be paid twice as much money.
DM What about the point that there is a void in political leadership today? Do you recognise that description?
RB America is the country that people look to for leadership in a lot of situations and there seems to be a void of brave leadership from both the Republicans and the Democrats. I do believe that Israel-Palestine is such a case. We have this thorn in the side of the world. I just think it's extremely dangerous and it's patently immoral and wrong and needs to be addressed, and that takes bold leadership.
It is the same with drugs. If you talk to any individual politicians, they will admit that thecurrent war on drugs has been a failure and that they should change the current laws, but they're not brave enough to do so. Therefore, in the meantime, millions of people around the world are affected by the war on drugs. If I've got a failing business for 40 years, I don't carry on – I change the strategy. You don't even necessarily have to say "legalise it". Just treat it as a health problem, not a criminal problem.
DM Do you think that the non-democracies govern themselves better?
RB China runs its country a bit like a business, but, having said that, I would always much prefer the slight muddle of a democracy.
DM In the past year or so, you have become a banker [with the takeover of Northern Rock by Virgin Money]. What's your reflection on what's seen as a crisis of culture in banking?
RB I learned my lesson when I was 21 years old when I had a rap on my knuckles for trying to save some money on exporting some records and not paying my taxes properly. And I decided that I wanted to sleep well at night. I think most people who got involved in these problems would much rather have learned their lesson when they were quite young. They realise just how important it is not to make a major mistake later on in their lives.
DM Do you think it's immoral to avoid your taxes?
RB I think that obviously everybody should pay their taxes. I think every single company will take advice. Our English companies will pay British taxes, our overseas companies will pay overseas taxes and lawyers will tell us how to mitigate taxes as much as possible. Every company will take that kind of advice. And not to take that advice leaves you uncompetitive. So I think it's a balancing act and I think generally you don't do anything that's illegal. Governments set the rules and you live by the rules.
DM The institutions that went into Northern Rock in the 1990s were two north-east building societies that went back to the 1850s. Do you think we have lost something with demutualisation?
RB I think that capitalism, with all its flaws, works better than the nationalised businesses, and that mutualisation [makes you] slightly closer to being a nationalised institution than a capitalist institution.
DM Do you think that the people who are running Barclays are right to resign?
RB I don't know. Barclays was one of the banks that didn't go to the government for money.
From what I know about Bob Diamond from afar, he's a spectacularly good operator. It's a great, great loss for the bank and obviously a great personal loss for him, and if he went too far obviously he'll regret it for the rest of his life.
DM Thinking about Britain, what is our biggest problem?
RB I think the kinds of things I'll come up with apply to any European country, not just Great Britain. Governments worldwide are spending more than they're making. So, if you take the army, air force and navy, it would seem to make great sense for us to try to work as one in Europe. We'd end up having a much more powerful army, maybe an air force to try to defend the continent as a whole, and would reduce cost dramatically by working with the rest of Europe. I suspect that we will end up going to war less often because we will know that Europe is that much stronger when it comes to defence and we will save a lot of money.
Every single aspect should be looked at. Radio 1, for instance. As much as it's great to have the BBC as a public-service operator, if you privatised Radio 1, gave it strict remits, put the money back into the rest of the BBC, that would help fund the public-service aspect of the BBC and it would make sense. On education, we need to ask: what kind of people do we need for society? French is one of the principal languages being taught in school, but it's a difficult language to learn, and not that useful. Obviously Spanish would be much more useful. So why are we wasting our time on it?
DM Are you sorry you didn't go to university, or do you think you did fine without it?
RB My university education was out in the jungle. Talking to my kids, Holly in particular, who did go to university, [I feel] people need to sit back and rethink it. A lot of courses only need to be two-year or even 18-month courses.
DM Do you think the government's economic strategy is working?
RB I think that they've been brave in doing what they're doing. The jury is still out as to whether it will succeed. We had to reduce government expenditure at some stage. They've chosen earlier than some other countries and I think the jury is still out as to whether this experiment is going to be successful or not, but I think it was an experiment worth trying.
DM People like me have argued that we're sucking so much demand out of the economy, we are going to get stuck in a vicious circle.
RB What I do believe is that, at the same time as reducing expenditure on non-productive aspects
of government, we've got to be investing in big infrastructure products which will pay their way in the economy in the longer run. Aviation is a disgrace. Governments are terrified; all three parties have decided to take the cowardly approach and pretend that aviation doesn't exist.
DM Do you think politicians need to be braver about immigration as well?
RB The wonderful thing about the European Union is our flexibility to live anywhere in the Union. So, yeah, we should be encouraging more students, we should be encouraging more people to come and live in Britain.
DM Just before the last election you associated yourself with some of the policies of the Tory party. What do you think Labour has to do to win back business support for the next election?
RB I've never actually backed any political party because I think that for business people to associate themselves with different political parties is invidious for the party itself and I think it's
invidious for the business person. I will definitely speak out on issues where I agree or disagree with governments.
I do think that business people should stay well clear of supporting individual political parties. And I think the unions should stay well clear as well and that there should be a different system of funding parties than currently exists.
DM What is your view about income inequality and the responsibilities of wealthy people towards the rest of society?
RB I think that one of the flaws of capitalism is that if you're a top-30 tennis player, extreme wealth goes with it; if you're 100 or below, you're struggling. Extreme responsibility goes with that, so there is a responsibility to utilise that wealth – not just have it sitting in bank accounts but to get out there, create new wealth, invest in creating new jobs, invest in tackling some of the world's problems.
DM Are you going to follow Warren Buffett and give away all your money in your will?
RB I will be giving away a considerable amount of money in my will, but the way I would want to give it away is to make sure that the people who then spend it, spend it as judiciously in making a difference as I have done. We try to run Virgin Unite [the non-profit foundation of the Virgin Group] in a very entrepreneurial way, so we set up organisations like the Carbon War Room to tackle global warming. Whether I give away everything or whether we give away a percentage, we are yet to decide.
DM You have said that racism is the greatest sin. What was behind that sentiment?
RB I should think I've had the privilege of travelling the world more than almost anybody else, and the world is full of incredible, delightful people of all creeds and races.
It is unbelievable to think that, when I first went to South Africa, there were lavatories for white people and lavatories for black people and that Archbishop Tutu would have had to have gone to the black lavatory. And, having overthrown the white man, what a fantastic example to the world in setting up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to forgive your enemies. Great Britain is the richer for its wonderful mixture of people and its wonderful diversity of cultures.
DM And what is the world's biggest problem today?
RB We are running out of oil. I think that if a government was to say, "In 2020, we're going to be self-sufficient in fuel, we're not going to import any more oil" and you worked back from that, you could create thousands and thousands of jobs.
The reason we set up the Carbon War Room was that, initially, if governments can't set the rules, business has got to get on. All the profits we make from our airlines we are investing in clean fuels. So
I think in five years' time the aviation industry will go from being one of the dirtiest industries to one of the cleanest industries in the world. It would certainly be helpful if governments would get their act together and create global rules. If they can do that with industry working with them, we are still not too late to get on top of the problem.
DM Are you getting back to Britain for the Olympics?
RB I would love to, but I seem to be travelling.
DM You're not a late entry to the kitesurfing competition?
RB Oh, the kitesurfing! I'm actually going to be preparing for Rio for that one.

RB doesn't seem to be all bad, but I always had him pegged as one of the hyenas who tore British industry to shreds during the Thatcher years.
I suppose we can't blame him for that - cos there were others queuing up if he hadn't been there.
I think - or hope anyway - that we are coming to an end of this crazy epoch of privatization and deregulation and moving on to an era of judicious (re)nationalization and better regulation. What we need are better run nationalised industries. Meaningful minimum wages and stronger trade unions that can maintain the living standards of ordinary people.
Meanwhile the richest 1% or less have to start paying their fair share again and with some back taxes to boot.
No mention of Virgin Care? I think it's immoral that he is taking hundreds of nurses from the NHS and forcing those who won't transfer to resign, in Surrey, as reported in the Telegraph.
How will he spend the millions he presumably creams off in profits in the UK, that should have gone towards health care, and not leave all that money in a bank account?
RB had his chance with his Virgin Radio and couldn't really make it big-time. Private radio still has a chance, but I bet RB is an avid listener of Radio 4 and if that were privatized, it would be awful. http://cahoots.co.uk/making-extra-cash-in-your-spare-time/
We con most of the people most of the time thats Virgin!
It seems absurd his quip about the Army. Apart from the fact we have so many of these facile dogs, like Branson who should not be even muttering the name of the organisation, which has these young kids risking their lives, fighting for true freedom, for a pittance. Branson should pay a Murdoch like debt to all those consumers who have had their private details sent to dodgy call centres.

'I will be giving away a considerable amount of money in my will...' Well, thanks for that you tax-dodging shark.
'Sure, Branson would like you to believe that he's the greatest iconoclast since John Calvin, leading a Reformation of established business. And if you won't buy that, he'll settle for being cast as a public-school Don Quixote for ever tilting at insiders and interest groups. Yes, the entrepreneur screws up – as with cars, cola, cosmetics and all those other discarded Virgins – but he takes risks.
'The more prosaic truth is that the Virgin boss keeps himself in homes in Holland Park and Necker Island by taking taxpayer subsidies and operating heavily protected businesses. After all, you don't get much safer than a small mortgage lender that's had all its rubbish assets taken off it by the Treasury, in a market where the big banks are keeping their eyes down and their fingers crossed.
'Think about the great Branson triumphs and you'll see what I mean. Virgin Rail? A monopoly on the West Coast main line, complete with initial subsidies worth hundreds of millions. Virgin Radio and Virgin Mobile? Both granted government licences to operate in a heavily restricted market. Virgin Airlines? The beneficiary of regulators' decision to strip British Airways of landing slots between London and New York and award them to the number two player. Again, a closed market where Branson has tried to keep the door shut tight against further competition.'

The Pier House
Online Reservations
Visted the Pier house this past weekend and would highly recommend it. Had an excellent meal and the service was outstanding. Amy was so attentive, knowledgable and bubbly. The ph Balance-Surf & Turf was out of this world...I can't wait to go back again!
The Pier House is a tasty place to eat. The lamb tenderloin dish -- not often seen on menus -- was exceptional. Desserts, like the "pistachio copa" and "Manhattan truffle" were stellar. Both are ice cream dishes. The PH's "French toast martini" was fantastic. A word of CAUTION: do not sit outside -- the mosquitos will join you for your meal and you will be theirs! Also, a BIG thank you to the hostess for re-seating us far from a table of 10-12 people. Too loud to be near.
Our first time dining at the Pier House and it was outstanding. The food, the outside atmosphere, and our helpful and engaging waitress combined to make it a great night out. We will be back.
The food, service, and atmosphere were fantastic! Loved the watermelon and feta sald. Highly recommend the lambchops.
What a culinary treat!!! Doesn't look like much but delivers wonderful flavors, creative food and excellent service.
The pier house was highly recommended did not disappoint. Mediterranean food with a distinct Greek angle. The Lump Crab & Avocado "Mangotini" is the signature appetizer. What a delicious taste treat! NY Strip was a generous cut and grilled to perfection. Many other appealing options for return trips. Dining room is smallish, decor is simple but classy and clientele are casual but upscale, a welcome break from the madness one often finds in the tacky, overpriced and poor quality food mills that permeate the popular shore towns. we were seated were right on time... very tightly run ship.... All in all, if you are in the Cape May area, you should make time for a meal at the Pier House, you will not be disappointed.
From appetizer to dessert, our meal was fantastic. Can't wait to go back!
Pier House is a local fav. Every visit is met with stellar service, excellent food -- a variety of delicious, piping hot, wonderful menu selections, along with fantastic drinks (my fav is 'Grape Bubbles' )& dessert (creme brulee cake). (fav dinner - calamari, watermelon feta salad, a generous steak, & for us, either lamb/salmon/swordfish or chicken dishes. But you cant go wrong no matter what you order. Pretty artwork lines the walls. Soft lighting ambiance. It is nice to have such a dependable dining venue to enjoy & take our guests to each time we are in Cape May! Thank you Pier House for understanding & providing such a consistently stellar dining experience! ds
Our window seat was perfect! The food, the view, wine, and the service, were all exceptional! Especially loved the Mahi Mahi dish, Greek Soul Food! Delicious!!!!!! A+++++++++++++ We enjoyed it so much we bought a gift certificate for our friends! Looking forward to our next visit!
This was my third time back to this restaurant in as many years. The menu offers a wide variety to satisfy all palates. I have stuck with their seafood selections and have been pleasantly surprised each time. Also, their appetizers were off the charts good and were large enough to share amongst the table.
We went in high season in Ca[e May and it was crowded and vibrant. The food was good but not gourmet. The waitress was attentive until our entrees were served.
Delicious appetizers- made a meal of appetizers, wine and salad!
We had a great time here. The food was excellent! Try the watermelon & feta salad, it was outstanding! Great view and ambiance. I would definitely go again.
Upscale but not stuffy dining room. Many seafood dishes all cooked properly. Calamari and grilled octopus done right -- not chewy or rubbery. Wonderful salads, especially the Watermelon Salad. Our server, Natalia, was terrific. One of our party asked numerous questions about the food preparation (due to food allergies and pregnancy) and Natalia went back to the chef a couple of times to make sure all would be OK. She was extremely patient. Also appreciated the service in general, relaxed, not rushed. Little details were noticed with having to ask, like needing another fork or knife. Prices were reasonable for Cape May - considering the quality and atmosphere. We all enjoyed our meals and will gladly go back again.
Hit a bad a night. Service was verrrry slow. Probably not he waiter's fault. Had large tables at opposite ends of the dining room. Usually not a problem. He was very pleasant,
Great food, service and ambiance! The staff is friendly and always ready to share or suggest! Good had wonderful flavors and is prepared well! Desserts are out of this world:-) love sitting on the patio with the ocean breeze!
I love this place. I eat well in Philly on a regular basis, and shore restaurants, even in Cape May--which is waaay better than most beach towns, often lag behind. Pier House is on par with great restaurants in Philly or New York, does both fish and meat well, has a Mediterranean flair, AND caters to kids with an upscale kids menu. The full package here.
Pier House serves well prepared, fresh food. Great selection and ample serving size.
I'll get the bad out of the way: it's not 'ocean front dining' but the outdoor area was totally cute and enjoyable. Unfortunately a large party with unruly kids and not caring parents got seated near my romantic dinner with my husband. Not the restaurant's fault but still it totally changed the ambiance and our experience. The good: everything else. Service was wonderful, food was AMAZING (get the fried cheese app, trust me), and and we even got surprised with champagne on the house when we mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary. Prices were on the high side, but so was the quality of the food. We'll be back for sure!
Greek style food served in a classy, comfortable atmosphere! The potato leek soup is a fabulous appetizer!
We visit this restaurant once a summer, twice if we are lucky. Food is outstanding. This last visit we showed up thirty minutes earlier than our reservation but they kindly accommodated us within ten minutes. We sat outside which was quiet, pleasant, miraculously no gnats biting. However beware of the late August crickets. Much to the joy of my two teenage sons (but to my dismay) crickets were landing on our table (well...really only four). Pier house never disappoints. Please, please keep up your high standards, excellent service and outstanding food. Thank you
The service is attentive and accommodating. The food is flavorful, with generous portions. Great seafood options.
We go to Cape May quite a bit and this was the first time that we went to Pier House. Our meals were very good, and the service was prompt and pleasant. The menu has a bit of a Greek flavor to it and there are a wide variety of seafood choices. We sat outside on the patio which is the way to go if the weather is nice. The menu is a little pricey but that's typical of the nicer restaurants in Cape May.
I've dined at Pier House many times with family and friends. I've never had a bad experience. Food is excellent and service is always top notch with friendly and efficient servers. Beautiful ambiance, excellent wine list and busy bar.
Pier House is one of our favorite restaurants in Cape May and it has never disappointed. My husband and I celebrated out 30th anniversary with a lovely evening there. Seafood is the deepest part of their menu and as always, our tuna and sea bass were impeccably prepared. One of the few restaurants which consistently a 5 star rating from us.
We had only been to this restaurant once (several months ago) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We LOVE Greek cuisine, and it didn't fail to please! The entire meal was awesome, and we plan to return again soon! Glad they are open year round!
great food! love the Greek menu and the music. Servers were exceptionally polite. Lovely experience. We have come back several times.
We were seated promptly, waiter was very professional and corteous. Both apps, dinners and deserts were excellent. We will be back next year.
We've have been coming to Cape May for many years, and the Pier House never disappoints. A great place no matter if you are looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Food is perfection, atmosphere on the outside patio is perfection, service is perfection. This restaurant is off the beaten path, so to speak -- as it is not within the Mall area. But it's right on Beach Avenue, north of the hustle and bustle. I highly recommend.
We have diner here often. This time we had a table in the bar area, which was pretty loud. But everything was simply perfect. We had a fantastic waitress (Kelly, I think). Great wine list, great appetizers, fantastic meal. A perfect dining experience. We'll be back! One of the best restaurants in Cape May. And can't beat the view from the window...Enjoy!
My wife and I went with another couple. Made 7:15PM reservations and got there early to have drinks at the bar first. Great bar and enthusiastic bartender. Nice place to assemble. If you want a table next to a window (view of ocean) you need to book a couple of days ahead. We booked that day and had an inside table. If weather is nice, can eat outside as well. THey have a nice patio section. Menu had many Greek specialties which pleasantly surprised me. Great selections and great appetizers. Waiter was very helpful and timed things very well. Entrees were $20 - $30. Priced very well considering they are in Cape May. Nice wine list too.
went to Pier House in 2011 and was happily surprised by the outstanding and creative food. Went back in Sept 2013 and enjoyed the same: vibrant and tangy appetizers (grilled pita with a choice of dips, including a very spicy feta cheese dip (wow!). The fried greek cheese with a slice of tomato, fresh basil and balsamic vinagrette is wonderful. Entrees included a flash fried whole red snapper with 3 condiment sauces...clean, and tender and a bit of crunch at the same time. A braised leg of lamb was delicious and fall off the bone tender, with excellent sides of tender potatoes, spinach and baby carrots. Drinks and service were perfect...friendly, professional, unobtrusive. Deserves to be in the top tier of options for Cape May.
Always delicious food here! Never disappointed. Kasseri cheese appetizer and calamari superb.
This place is great. We make it a point to go for dinner every time we are in Cape May. The food is excellent and I am always happy with my selection. They have a kids menu but my son is usually fine with the main menu. It is kid friendly but maintains the vibrant ambiance. The staff is wonderful and very welcoming. We also love the breakfast. You can't go wrong here.
We visited the Pier restaurant on 9/29. We were seated right away. Our server was friendly and very attentive. The food was very good.
We went expecting to just order a couple of appetizers, but after seeing the food others had at their tables went for full meals and were very pleased. Great flavors and nice portions. Attentive service. A wonderful experience.
you must try the Watermelon salad. The best new food item I had this year.
Outdoor patio looked inviting...but we opted for inside and air conditioning. Fabulous food; service; perfect evening. Power went out midway during dinner and the staff never skipped a beat. The kitchen may have been crazy; but we never knew it. Highly recommended this restaurant...and since it is attached to a hotel, there is plenty of parking.
Not great room . Cafeteria style. Too loud, too many big groups. Food, service made up for bad seating experience.
Every once in a while a dining experience deserves to be shared. A dinner at the Pier House requires mentioning as it gets high marks in all the categories that matter.
We really liked Pier House. We also pick Mediterranean fish over American because of the use of olive oil over butter, fewer fatty battered dishes, etc. Pier House did not disappoint. The dishes were fresh and light but flavorful. Original as well. The server was attentive and pleasant. We also liked the setup, open, lots of windows, nice colors, pleasing artwork. We liked it so much, we went back for breakfast.
One of the restaurants my wife and I always make of point of visiting during our stays in Cape May is the Pier House. The food and service is great
The Pier House has fast became one of our favorite places to eat in Cape May. At the end of an off-season visit to the Shore it was a great place to finish off our time there. The main problem we have is that ALL the dishes look (On the menu and especially as you see one pass by you to another table) so good, it is hard to choose. Although we vary up the apps, my go-to-choice for an entrée is the flash-fried whole Red Snapper with a trio of sauces. We've found good things on their wine list by the glass to pair up with their delicious dishes. A great meal and a good visit to Cape May!
Although predominantly Greek menu, there was enough variety for any palate.
Food was great the mediterranean and seafood pair well together. Slightly overpriced for entrees but it is in a tourist area to be expected
I found Pier House through online reviews, and it measured up. The seared tuna appetizer, grilled fish, and pumpkin cheeseca me were all wonderful. The service was polite, friendly, attentive, and not overbearing. Highly recommended.
We were in town for the Jazz Festival and wanted to try The Pier House- It is one of a few places we had not tried yet- The food was amazing- great flavors! Different , inventive menu especially for a beach town! We had sea bass and salmon, but could have easily ordered 4-5 other entrees as well. It was tough to decide ........Great tasting and very well presented. We will be back!
Quiet, nice, great Greek food, interesting wine list, great service and easy to park.
Have been there a number of times and have never been disappointed

RCA creating Wi-Fi-powered gadget charger
Here's an energy source most of us haven't considered tapping: Wi-Fi wireless signals.
At CES 2010, RCA was showing a prototype of a handheld energy-harvesting battery designed to convert energy transmitted in a Wi-Fi signal into DC power, according to a report in OhGizmo.
The device, called the Airnergy, uses an antenna and circuitry to harvest the energy and an internal battery to store the electrical charge. A company representative told OhGizmo that they were able to charge a BlackBerry from 30 percent to full charge in about 90 minutes using the ambient Wi-Fi signal at CES, although … Read more

I bought this to install some blinds because my old corded driver spins too fast to turn the screws. And I needed it for the required torque to turn the very difficult wood screws. It allows you to put your arm effort into pushing on the screw while it does the turning. It does what it says, and it was a great buy at Sears.

I bought this for my nephew who told me he really needed a drill. My father always bought Craftsman tools; I always did also, so thought it would be a great to pass this craftsmanship on to the 3rd generation!! Recommend this product!!

I have used Craftsman tools for many years, this cordless drill has preformed great for me. I don't usually wait around for help to fix things, so that means I need a dependable, easy to use, lightweight drill and this one fits all those needs.

It depends upon the name - I generally like -belle, -anna and -beth names.
I like Rosabelle, Amabel, Emmabelle, Kirabelle, Corabelle, Lilabelle....
I don't see them as the same as other "madeup" names. These are two real names combined, not random sounds shoved together. I wouldn't use them, though, because they probably wouldn't age really well. Maybe for a middle or a good GP list, lol.
May 31st, 2012 11:23 AM #7
I love Adabelle! Adabeth, too.
Name "smushes" can be iffy, but I generally don't think they sound made up, particularly when they have those typical compound name endings: -belle/-bel, -anne/-anna, -beth, -lee, -el/-elle, and so on. It's when you start getting into Reneesmee territory that the names start feeling made up and hopelessly awkward. There's a big difference, in my mind, between something like Christabel and something like Janisapril.
May 31st, 2012 11:51 AM #9
It depends. I can't stand most belle/bella names (totally overdone and just annoying to me now, sorry to those that like them). The only one I like is Annabel (spelled that way). I think names like Isabelle, Annabel, and similar are fine. Names like say, Gracibelle, Arabella, etc sound too cutesy and a little made up to me. Like, hey I like this name, let's throw "belle/bella" on the end of it so it's cute for my little baby princess!
But like I said, it really depends on the name. Some sound fine (even if they're NMS at all), others sound like a smoosh name.Top 10 girl's names: Serena * Audrey * Sienna * Bridget * Lucy * Hazel * Cordelia * Josephine * Claire * Alice
Top 10 boy's names: Elliott * Callum * Theodore * Emmett * Nolan * Ian * Blake * Brennan * Adrian * Everett

Linh, i was wondering whether u remembered in the young warriors when amy was talking to peter. I think it was after da poisoning of da small village. Amy had already saved da day & she was with her husband & sons. Da scene was a night scene & peter was playing dat wooden musical instrument (i don't know wat's it call), anyway, amy came upon him & asked him how he knew da song he was playing. She told him dat piece was composed by her & his teacher. U remember dis scene?? Well peter asked her wat was da relationship between her & his teacher. Amy answered him & at da end she smiled dat really nice smile. I really like dat smiled of hers. I wish i can capture dat smile. I always remember dat smile, i don't know how to explain it but dat smile is so cute.

Amy Chan Sau Man and Maggie Cheung Ho Yee 4ever!
I cant blame you! After watching the character of the very matured and motherly She Sai Hua, its hard to adjust to the younger and more reserved Tse Sau Hau! Its a big change! Its like 2 opposites! But watching Tse Sau Hau mature is so pleasureful and you may learn many from her! ^_^
HAHA, I get in trouble all the time! I am a troublesome magnet! But the TVB series I bought, I bought bc a friend told me to, she recommanded it. 2 of them has Kwong Wah, the others are just random ones. Honestly I dont even know the title if you asked me. HAHA, my friend added it to my shopping cart and all I did was checkout. ^_^ I wasnt really interested in watching it, but I figure lets just keep myself BZ! TVB serie now-a-days is kinda boring, so my interest is gone!
America is so uncivilized! We may be labeled as "friendly" but honest to say, we are prob one of the most "manipulative and evil" country. We are hypocrits (HUGE HYPOCRITES)! We are also very FAT ppl too, haha, about 20% of the population is obessed! ^_^ Eatting junk the way we do, of course! HAHAHA..
Asians are friendly IMO, but only to neighbors and ppl in the area. We tend to look ppl oddly when we see outsiders... Its like we're staring at aliens! HAHA. Yeah, those who goes overseas are very shy, I've met some of them, and they can be sweet, but extremely SHY!
Amy Chan Sau Man and Maggie Cheung Ho Yee 4ever!
HAHA, the reason I watch ATV is b/c of Amy and a small handful of watchable ppl. Otherwise ATV makes very crappy modern series. But their Pre-Modern series (1900s-wartime) are excellent (LIAM, TGOD, FL, etc) all excellent! They definitely do a better job with those genre of series compared to TVB.
But yes, TV is getting really low lately, deteriorating like crazy! Its a big slump! But I hope it gets better, otherwise, I'll be so bored. HAHA, I dont want to know what I'll do when I get too bored!
Amy Chan Sau Man and Maggie Cheung Ho Yee 4ever!
HAHA, you are so much like me! I shop with parents money either way. HAHA, that's why giving me a Credit Card is a NO NO!
Well, every culture has their "unique food" so its not biggie. But I most definitely wouldnt eat anything I would have as a pet. My uncle almost had me eatting dogs. EWWW, I freaked out! HAHA
Yeah, another thing in common. I dont want kids, mayb adopt when I am in my 40s, but I dont want kids. I want to travel and kids and b a handful!
Amy Chan Sau Man and Maggie Cheung Ho Yee 4ever!
HAHA, kept toasting yourself! HAHA, at least the heat melts the fat away - I should go there to melt it off. HAHA, I need to shed some lbs. HAHA! I love winter, how u ever seen snow? Its beautiful, isnt it?
NJ is really boring, dont ever live here! Its sooooooooooooo tiresome! HAHA, I want to go somewhere with adventure, but I got stuck here! :P
HAHA - Count Dracula!
Amy Chan Sau Man and Maggie Cheung Ho Yee 4ever!
She isnt super thin, of course not! She was labeled as the "housewife actress" wasnt she? HAHA, after TFOTC she was the "fat auntie" wasnt she? HAHA, she wasnt even really thick in TFOTC, its the clothing was extra padded. HAHA! She was great as the traditional and clueless housewife, so cute!
Yeah, Amy is a bit thicker, and I like it that way. She's healthier than so much actresses out there who straves themselves. Its really sad! She does look great in the dress! She is a bit shorter, therefore it makes her look a bit wider too, but short is cute! At least, thats my excuse! HAHA
Yeah, TGOD was broadcasted in 1996 and Young Warriors in 2006 (10 years difference - she's 46 now, so yeah, with a decade of years b/w - she still pulls off both the old and young look!) I mean its ez to make yourself look older, but for a women in her 30s, she pulls of the 20-something year old look extremely well!
HAHA, as a fan of course we want her to have more credits, but hey, the world is unfair, we know! At least we can appreciate it. That's as much as we can do in our part!
Amy Chan Sau Man and Maggie Cheung Ho Yee 4ever!
HAHA, Amy is a protective mother! She does it a bit too well. I mean, not many ppl know anything about her son, expect his age and that he's in college! HAHA, she's too good! I want her to leak something out. HAHA, a picture would be lovely!
I wonder if her hubby and son would attend the musical? I mean, she deserves the physical and mental support from them!
Amy Chan Sau Man and Maggie Cheung Ho Yee 4ever!
Amy Chan Sau Man and Maggie Cheung Ho Yee 4ever!
HAHAHA, I am expressive both online and off. I am very spontaneuos, it takes much patience to be able to handle me 24/7. I cant really sit down for 5 min without talking or swirling. I dont even sleep too often, haha, I think I eat too much suger and sweets! HYPERACTIVITY!
But of course, its bc we are from different areas, from what it seems, you have very strict and unbendable laws. Unlike me! As they say "we make laws, laws dont make us!" - "laws are meant to be broken!" :P
Yes, it is very normal for me to buy stuff for my friends online... HAHA, as I said, I have nothing to hide and I do pick ppl, I dont just send stuff to random ppl. HAHA! Its just sometimes I cant help it! I learnt from my parents - hospitality is very important! It makes u more open and therefore u talk, being reserved is good, but of course talking always helps make life more fun and exciting!
You are generous, but in a different way. HAHA, you're good the way u are! And so I heard, u guys over there are generous with food? HAHA, mind my visiting? I LOVE FOOD!

YES! At these moments I wish she was with TVB. HAHA, ATV cancel too many!
But TVB sucks at promoting ppl that deserves promotions! Thats why Amy did a good thing leaving them years earlier! I mean once she left TVB she became a big name after joining the casts of TGOD.. Foloowing that FL, etc.
Not too bad, TVB lost a big one!

Katy Perry: Wide Awake Music Video
What an amazing clip. So worth the wait!
Wide Awake is the last single off Katy's album, Complete Confection, and we're giving her massive snaps for it.
Love that she's admitting to making mistakes in her life and career but has learnt from them. Her costumes are ridiculous and, as expected, she looks effing amaze!
Enough from us though, check it out above.
Who do you think the knight in shinning armor could be at the end?

By Mayo Clinic staffSeptic arthritis is an intensely painful infection in a joint. The joint can become infected with germs that travel through your bloodstream from another part of your body. Septic arthritis can also occur when a penetrating injury brings germs directly into the joint.
Infants and older adults are most likely to develop septic arthritis. The most common joints affected are the knees and hips. Septic arthritis can quickly and severely damage the cartilage and bone within the joint, so prompt treatment is crucial.
Treatment involves draining the joint with a needle or via an operation. Intravenous antibiotics also may be necessary to stop the infection.

By Mayo Clinic staffA premature birth is a birth that takes place more than three weeks before the baby is due — in other words, after less than 37 weeks of pregnancy, which usually lasts about 40 weeks.
Premature birth gives the baby less time to develop in the womb. Premature babies, especially those born earliest, often have complicated medical problems.
Depending on how early a baby is born, he or she may be:
- Late preterm, born between 34 and 37 weeks of pregnancy
- Very preterm, born at less than 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Extremely preterm, born at less than 25 weeks of pregnancy
Most premature births occur in the late preterm stage.

Adrenalin, Faith, Doubt, Optimism...
Emotional chaos - yet complete control. The security guard has taken his sensor and duck pass the camera.
Firstlines, Fill In, Background, 3D's, Outlines. Final touches with highlights and elements. Done! 15 minutes and the train is decorated. Camera flashes. Mediocre nighttime photographs. Out of the tunnel. The smell of spray paint follows you to the next station. Leave the scene of the crime. Two hours of rest and wait until the trains start rolling again. Fuck..., empty trip ...taken out of traffic. No good pictures.
All that remains is the memory of one of many missions. Fatigue kicks in. Massive energy loss and emotional drainage. For what? Is it the addiction? So many question. So few answers.
Pure urbanity. Locations all over the world. Rediscover the World, get to know people and their cultures. A Network developes. The clashing of different styles. Means of conveyance, trains. The league of champions. Crime and identity as an elemental part of graffiti-art. Fame. The crew, a second family.
This is what drives me. The scope and the controversial aspects of this lifestyle. So many individuals. So much hate. So much love. So much passion. So much anonymity combined with so much talkativeness. Adventures more gripping than Indiana Jones's. Bonds stronger than the A-Team's. Taking hourlong trips, only to press down on the cap for a few minutes. In the freezing cold or boiling heat. Thornbushes and barbed wire fences. Risking incarceration and hospital visits. All that for a few letters on rolling steel.
All of these aspects have influenced me heavily and have brought me to develop a completely new value system. My time of prosperity started at the age of 16.
To hold capture something from this secretive subculture. Authentic pictures of and with authentic protagonists. To mediate emotions. To be in the middle of it. A documentation, not from a photographers point of view, but through the eyes of a writer. This was my objective for this project.
One love. Nils Müller

I agree, what is wrong with these people? There are so many important issues that the Republicans need to address -- this is definitely not one of the issues.
The rights guaranteed by the Constitution are under enough attacks. This makes the problem worse. Once a person is stripped of US citizenship they may be beyond the legal Pale of protections and may be dealt with in any way by "the authorities". I have recently read that there is at least one secret British Court which strips British citizens of their citizenship, after which some have been murdered in drone attacks. Declaring a person to be a non-citizens makes them "stateless persons" so they can be disposed of at will.
ERIC CANTOR and JOHN BOEHNER: I don´t care WHAT the title of this bill is, you better NOT pass it.You got that?!This will open the door for the Constitution to be totally discredited, imho.Hit the phones to area code 202!
What constitution?
I read the first paragraph to see its the Senate version so of course it is un-Constitutional. Voting on it does not mean they support it unless they vote for it.
Makes no sense at all. You can´t repeal the Constitution or protections under the Constitution with an act of the legislature - you have to amend the Constitution. And there´s nothing in the Constitution that allows us to take away constitutional protections for trial by tribes. They can´t deny due process any more than they could say the First Amendment doesn´t apply on an Indian reservation. This is silly and stupid.
I´d say this will never stand once it gets to SCOTUS, but John Roberts destroyed my faith in their doing anything right ever again. Where on earth did this travesty of a bill originate? And why? Seriously?!?!? A NON-Native American could be prosecuted and found guilty and have no access to Constitutional rights?!?!? What in HADES are these morons (the GOP) thinking?!?!?
Allow me to offer an example that shows the problem.If you are driving on the NYS thruway between the Pa border and Buffalo, you will see signs claiming that you are in native american territory, under the jurisdiction of the tribe. And let´s say you exit the thruway, and go into an indian gas station, and are accused of some sort of violence against the clerk at that gas station.You would be under the jurisdiction of the local indians.
Equal protection under the law -hah just trashed anotherone
#9, that´s not true. Although I don´t think it´s a very good bill, it only applies to "domestic violence", so you are only going to get tried for beating up the convenience store clerk if you move in with her.Lesson to the wise: stay away from the Res and leave dem red wimmin´s alone.
It`s going to pass #3. Once again the GOP acts in the best interest of the federal bureaucracy. We are screwed as a nation. It is truly over. Before these jokers are finished with us, we will have no rights at all.Next up, strip gun right, then pass global warming. In 2014 the dems will push raising the minimum wage yet again just in time for the 2014 midterm election, thus putting the GOP in a political position of `harming women and children` by not increasing the minimum wage.
Opening the door for Sharia courts.
This is a test vote for Sharia law being upheldWatch out for the slippery slope
Right now in Minnesota if your boat strays into the side of Red Lake in northern Minnesota they claim then your boat can be confiscated - stolen from you.What could the penalty be in the future?Will you be staked out in the sun?The Indians should not be separate from the rest of us. Same laws and same Constitutional protections as the rest of us.
Remind me to stay out of those casinos.
Just another attack on our Constitutional rights as citizens. Democrats loathe the Constitution.
second post apologies, but,#10, domestic violence would be defined by the tribe, since they have jurisdiction. And the same thing could happen at one of those indian casinos in nys, which are allowed to operate because they are located on indian territory. And if you drive I 81 south of syracuse, ny, you will see exit signs for the onondaga nation! Same deal.
Violence Against Women Act, hate crimes.....so much for "equal protection" and the 14th Amendment.
Levin talked about this in detail this week. This legislation would elevate bad language to the level of an assault. And once convicted, you cannot own firearms any longer. Oh, and it allows foreigners to claim a need for asylum. There´s nothing good about this bill, and they wrap it up in a fake name as a way to bully people into voting for it. Politics is the filthiest business in world, and politicians the biggest whores and pimps.

This letter will go out tomorrow. I would love everyone that has received a ticket to join in on the fun. I am guilty as charged, very unhappy, and extremely disappointed in the MRCA.

RE: MRCA Donation
Dear Mr. Edelman,
I was fortunate enough to spend a very nice day hiking the Temescal Canyon Loop in February. Although I've been to Los Angeles many times, this was my first time to your park. My girlfriend and I enjoyed taking pictures on a sunny day as we hiked up and down the mountain. It was a great experience and I would love to do it again. I visit our local, state, and national parks often and am always happy to pay the nominal fees to enter.
In fact, I had such a nice experience at your park I'd like to make a $100 donation to the MRCA. Your dedication "to the preservation and management of local open space and parkland, watershed lands, trails, and wildlife habitat" is admirable.
About a month after our visit, I was reminded of the pleasant experience when I received a letter from your staff. I was surprised the following month, when once again, I received another letter from your staff.
I would like to send this donation as soon as possible. Unfortunately, money is tight these days and I have a small favor to ask. I would appreciate a refund of the fine and late fee I incurred for an alleged "traffic violation". As the registered owner of the car, I paid the $100 fine, plus the $10 late fee, plus the $2.95 "convenience" fee. When I called your staff to ask for a refund they suggested I contact my bank.
In addition, I would like to thank you and your staff for sending me the video of my car, with no apparent driver, slowly passing by the beautiful scenery. Your prompt payment of $112.95 will allow me the necessary funds to send my donation and once again return to your lovely park.
Proud Californian

I'm currently riding a Bataleon Aerobic 151 and I have to say it's one of the best boards I've ridden.
It's aimed at people looking to ride park/jib (like me) but it also handles amazing all over the mountain (which I also love) It's quite a soft board, but it holds edges damn good. I love the TBT base! hope this helps |

I suggest you demo tbt before you buy it. I have buyers remorse with mine and ignored the same suggestion from others. Also it is virtually un-resellable.
No knock on Bataleon at all, I actually dig the company, but I won't be giving tbt another try.

I am a huge TBT fanboy and I still tell everyone to try it out. I recommend riding it for at least a couple of hours.
For me after about 15 minutes I realized i loved how it felt. I have a friend who rode his for a full day before he adjusted and not really likes it. Then I have a bunch of friends who call them the "death canoes" and wont strap into them ever again. DEMO IT. |
