I'm converting some 32-bit compatible code into 64-bit - and I've hit a snag. I'm compiling a VS2008 x64 project, and I receive this warning:
warning C4334: '<<' : result of 32-bit shift implicitly converted to 64 bits
(was 64-bit shift intended?)
Here's the original line of code:
if ((j & (1 << k)) != 0) {
And here's what it looks like if I follow Microsoft's advice:
if ((j & (1i64 << k)) != 0) {
Is this safe to do, when the code will be compiled on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems? If so, please explain why I must add "i64" to the end, and why this will not affect a 32-bit compilation. Otherwise, a work-around would be much appreciated.
Beyond this, I have what looks like an even trickier bit of code.
if (id[j] != id[j ^ (1u << k)]) {
I understand that the "u" means that the digit is unsigned, but what's the point in specifying that on a value that doesn't exceed the signed maximum value... I'm guessing this has something to do with the bit shift?

Brave shot at sanity
DISTRICT HEIGHTS, Md. - There's a certain type of bravery in the nation's 19th most populous state, whose border is two miles from the Washington Navy Yard. A new gun law takes effect in Maryland Oct. 1. It's not lip-service tough. Not politically measured tough. This law is tough in a way that confirms the bravery of legislators who voted for it and Gov. Martin O'Malley, who signed it.
If you want to buy a handgun, you must be fingerprinted, take a safety test and get a $50 license. You may purchase one gun every 30 days.
If you want to buy an AK-47, AR-15 or any of 45 other semi-automatics and copycats, forget it. You can't.
You can't buy a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, and you can't own "cop-killer" bullets that have led to the deaths of at least 35 officers in the last decade.
There's more: a uniform procedure by which dealers and police register firearms; a ban on those with criminal records or mental health problems from owning guns and ammunition, and a requirement for police to shut down dealers whose guns show up in a disproportionate number of crimes.
It's tough. You know that because the NRA and a lot of its supporters here hate it. And you know it has teeth because there's been a run on handguns and automatic weapons. Statewide, gun sales in September have been about seven times the levels of a year ago.
That's an unfortunate byproduct of the law. More unfortunate is that until other states pass similar laws, and until the federal government deals more aggressively with Internet gun sales, Maryland's efforts will only be partially effective.
"Our tears are not enough," President Obama declared after 12 people were shot by a gunman at the DC Navy Yard. But the president's own gun legislation has been blocked in Congress and has no chance.
Also troubling is that manufacturers remain exempted from the type of product-liability laws that govern so many other products.
Violent crime in Maryland already has reached a historic low according to state figures. But Mr. O'Malley notes, "Just one life lost to senseless violence is one too many." He labeled the new law "a common sense approach" to dealing with the gun nightmare that has extended from Aurora, to Newtown, to the Washington Navy Yard - with many horrifying stops between.
Colorado lawmakers have addressed the plague bravely, with new laws that expand the background-check system to include private sales, keep guns out of the hands of criminals; limit magazines to 15 rounds, and prohibit domestic abusers from buying or keeping guns.
Which state's lawmakers will be the next to show enough gumption to implement similar laws?
Here in Maryland, the man behind the counter at Realco Guns was struggling to serve a crowd on a weekday morning, just a few days before the new law was to take effect. "We don't give out information, we don't do interviews, and we don't answer questions," he said. "Unless you want to buy a gun."

In "The Reappearing Act" István Aranyosi postulates a new way of seeing to solve a puzzle posed in "The Disappearing Act;" an object that is exactly shaded can be seen simply by virtue of its contrast with its environment – just like a shadow. This object need not reflect, refract, absorb or block light. To undermine the motive for this heretical innovation, I generalize the puzzle to situations involving inexact shading. Aranyosi cannot extend his solution to these variations because he needs to conserve principles of camouflage. On the bright side, the solution to the puzzle that I propose in my book Seeing Dark Things does extend to these variations.

7 Steps to healthy, smooth Winter Skin

Everyone wants beautiful winter skin. But nourished, silky smooth skin in the dry months needs a little extra pampering. Colder weather brings dryness, dryness and more dryness that can make skin dull, flaky and lusterless. Moisturizing is obviously an important skin care routine to follow but there are some other things you can do to keep your skin happy and dewy all winter.
1. Switch to a heavier moisturizer
The moisturizer you've been slathering on isn't sufficient for the winter. Switch to an oil-based moisturizer to keep dryness at bay. Oil-based moisturizers form a protective layer on the skin and lockin moisture. Look for humectants (ingredients that attract moisture) like glycerine and alpha-hydroxy acids in cold weather moisturizers. Most night creams are oil-based. Apply a moisturizer two to three times day on damp skin for best results.
Shopping for your favorite brands was never easier. Select your beauty products and have them delivered, all from the comfort of your sofa!

If Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, TSAA, and scholarship awards exceed the amount owed for registration fees, students will receive a residual check approximately four weeks into the semester. Residual checks are mailed to the student's local address, unless the student has signed up for direct deposit with the Bursar's Office. Enrollment status at the point payment is authorized by the Financial Aid Office will determine the amount of the award. Example: If a student is enrolled in 12 credit hours on the first day of class but subsequently drops to nine credit hours prior to authorization for payment, the Financial Aid Office will authorize payment based on nine credit hours. If a student totally withdraws from classes prior to picking up the residual check, it will be canceled and refunded back to the appropriate Title IV account(s). A revised residual check will be issued to the student if appropriate.
Student loans will be disbursed on or after the fourteenth day of classes each semester. Residual checks are available approximately four weeks into the semester. As an exception, federal law specifies that freshmen, first-time borrowers cannot receive their first disbursement until after 30 days into the payment period. All loan proceeds are disbursed in at least two payments. Students must be attending at least six credit hours at the time they receive their student loan proceeds. Student loan checks are mailed to the student unless they have signed up for direct deposit. Students who are employed in the Federal Work-Study Program are paid every two weeks. It should be noted that if a student unofficially withdraws from class (quits attending) and it is later discovered that Title IV funds were paid to the student for credit hours the student was not attending at the point Title IV funds were authorized to the student's account, an overpayment may exist. In such cases, the student will be billed for the overpayment.
Overpayments occur for several reasons. In some cases, students receive financial aid assistance in an amount that exceeds their "need" for financial aid. In other cases, students are inadvertently overpaid Federal Pell Grant funds. No matter what the reason, overpayments must be resolved. In some cases, the college is able to resolve overpayments by reducing awards for subsequent semesters during the same award year. The Financial Aid Office will notify the student of an amount that must be repaid to a specific program. If the overpayment cannot be resolved by reducing subsequent awards during the same award year, students will be required to make immediate repayment. If the overpayment is due to student error, and if the student fails to repay the overpayment, the student will be ineligible for future financial aid assistance at all post-secondary schools. If the error is a result of fraud, it will be reported to the Office of the Inspector General.
If the overpayment is a result of institutional error and if the student fails to make repayment by a specified date, the college will be responsible for making the repayment. In such cases, the college will then bill the student and will place a "hold" on future registration. It should be noted that if a student unofficially withdraws from class (quits attending) and it is later discovered that Title IV funds were paid to the student for credit hours the student was not attending at the point Title IV funds were authorized to the student's account, an overpayment may exist. In such cases, the student will be billed for the overpayment.
Title IV aid is any aid that was awarded to you as a result of your completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Title IV recipients who partially withdraw from classes through the official withdrawal process on or after the first day of class may be eligible for a maintenance fee/tuition refund based on NSCC's refund policy. Title IV recipients are allowed to receive such refunds except in cases when they totally withdraw (officially or unofficially) from classes.
If you have been awarded Title IV aid and subsequently withdraw completely on or before the 60% completion date for the semester, NSCC will be required to return a portion of your financial aid. This means that you will be required to return a portion of your financial aid.
Once you have withdrawn NSCC will calculate the amount of financial aid that you earned based on the percentage of the semester that you actually completed. For official withdrawals, NSCC will use the date you began the withdrawal process for your last registered class to calculate this percentage. For unofficial withdrawals, we will use your latest last date of attendance as reported by your instructor. All aid awarded above this "earned" amount will be returned on your behalf. This will likely cause you to owe a balance to NSCC. You will be billed for this balance by the Bursar's Office. Owing a balance may prevent you from registering for upcoming semesters.
The following example is reflective of a student who totally withdrew at the 40% point of the semester:
|Institutional Charges:
|Title IV aid for the Period:
|*Amount of Title IV applied to account:
|Amount of Title IV refunded to student:
|Percentage Earned:
|Amount Earned:
|Percentage Unearned:
|Amount Unearned:
|* It is assumed that Title IV assistance paid the student's account even when institutional charges were paid by cash or another non-Title IV source of assistance.
Using this scenario, the college would be required to refund $420 (60% of $700) back to Title IV programs, first to loans and then to grants (as applicable). The student would be required to repay $1,380 (60% of $2,300) back to Title IV programs. The following qualifiers to the amount the student must repay should be noted. If the amount owed by the student could be applied to the remainder owed to loans disbursed during the period, the student would not be required to make immediate repayment but would follow the normal repayment process related to the loans. If the amount owed by the student is greater than the remainder owed to loans disbursed during the period, the student would be required to make repayment to federal grant programs. However, as related to federal grants, the student is only required to make payment of 50% owed to the federal grant programs. If, in this example, the entire $3,000 of Title IV aid for the Period was through the Federal Pell Grant, the student would only be required to repay 50% of $1,380 ($690) to the Federal Pell Grant. Within 45 days of notice, the student must make full payment of the amount owed to federal grants. Otherwise, the college will report the overpayment to the Department of Education (ED) and the student will be required to make payment arrangements with ED before being eligible to receive future Title IV assistance at any school.
If it is determined that a student is eligible for Federal Title IV financial aid funds that have not been disbursed, grant funds that the student is eligible for will be disbursed first. Federal grant aid that the student is eligible for will be credited to the student's account for outstanding charges or refunded to the student as applicable. If it is determined that the student is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement of loans, NSCC will notify the student of his/her eligibility for the loans. The student must respond within 14 days of the date of the letter as to whether they want all, part, or none of the loan(s). If the student fails to respond within 14 days, no loan disbursement will be made.
Before calculating the amount of financial aid that must be cancelled, the following is taken into consideration:
Federal Title IV financial aid is returned in the order mandated by the U.S. Department of Education. No program can receive a refund if the student did not receive aid from that program. Return calculations will be performed within 30 days from the date the Financial Aid Office became aware a student totally withdrew from classes. Grant funds must be returned within 45 days after the date of withdrawal determination. Return of loans is returned (repaid) in accordance to the terms of the loan on the promissory note. The order aid is return is as follows:

College Hockey:Second-Period Explosion Fuels Wisconsin Over North Dakota
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Call it a tale of two teams with fortunes that appear to be heading in opposite directions.
After losing six straight with key players out of the lineup, Wisconsin has now won two in a row with a 4-3 victory at Ralph Engelstad Arena over WCHA opponent North Dakota.
The loss dropped UND to sixth place in the WCHA with a 5-5-1 conference record (7-7-1 overall). Wisconsin moved up to seventh place at 4-6-1 (6-9-2 overall).
With both teams getting players back from injuries, Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves and North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol were hoping for turnarounds. Behind a three-goal second period, the Badgers got it while Sioux frustration with inconsistency continued.
"We've actually played better and lost," Eaves said. "Tonight, we could play better when we needed to and we come out with a win."
"There's a potential there for both teams to be pretty good hockey teams," Hakstol said. "We certainly have the potential to be a good team, but potential is not what we're looking for. Potential doesn't win games."
UND struck first with a power-play goal at 12:19 goal of the first period. Goalie Brian Elliott stopped defenseman Taylor Chorney's shot from the point, but sophomore forward Ryan Duncan knocked in the rebound from the right side of the crease.
Wisconsin needed less than a minute to respond with an even-strength goal at 13:10. The Badgers used tenacious forechecking to keep the Sioux trapped in their zone. Goalie Philippe Lamoureux stopped two shots before senior center Andrew Joudrey came up with the loose puck in the slot and shot it in.
Despite UND's 18-10 advantage in shots on goal, the opening period ended 1-1. The second period was a complete reversal with the Sioux being outshot 12-4 and outscored 3-1.
With Wisconsin on the power play, Lamoureux appeared to stop a shot from the right point by defenseman Jamie McBain. However, the puck trickled through to give the Badgers a 2-1 lead at 4:18.
The Sioux didn't register a shot on goal until more than halfway through the period, but they made it count. Duncan picked up his second goal of the game by tipping defenseman Robbie Bina's shot past Elliott at 9:24. It was his team-leading 11th goal of the season.
But then the roof fell in on UND, silencing the home crowd of 11,311 fans. Wisconsin senior forward Jake Dowell capitalized on a three-on-one rush by sniping the top corner on Lamoureux's glove side to put the Badgers up 3-2 at the 17:26 mark.
"I'm yelling, 'Pass the puck! Pass the puck!' And he shoots," Eaves laughed. "'Good shot! Good shot!' So, see what I know?"
Wisconsin struck again with 1:01 left in the period. Forward Jack Skille fought off a check along the boards and threw a centering pass toward junior forward Matthew Ford. He found himself alone in front of Lamoureux and pounded in the puck to give the Badgers a decisive 4-2 lead.
For a team that has struggled to score, Eaves was impressed with Ford's effort.
"He was down on the ice, the puck is going toward the net and he somehow finds a way to get his stick on it," he said. "That's making something out of nothing. That's a little bit of magic."
For the Fighting Sioux, who have now been outscored 26-14 in the second period, it's a return to the season-long problem of figuring out how to play a complete game for a full 60 minutes.
Asked if he'd preferred to skip the second period, Hakstol's sharp retort was: "No. There's three periods in a game, so we've got to figure out how to play the damn thing."
UND freshman Anthony Grieco replaced Lamoureux in the third period after giving up four goals on 22 shots. A power-play goal by UND defenseman Chay Genoway at 11:42 made it a 4-3 game, but Elliot gave up nothing after that, even when the Sioux pulled their goalie with 56 seconds remaining.
Of Elliott's play, Eaves said it was typical of how he's played all season long, even during the losing streak. "Brian was excellent," he said.
Dowell said the best way for Wisconsin to generate more offense is for more players to show up on the score sheet.
"For us to come out and have four different players score, that's awesome for us," he said. "That's what our goal has been to do, to win and score by committee instead of having one or two guys. We had one line that scored a lot last year. We're going to need to be a team that spreads it (the scoring) out."
"We played a pretty good first period and a pretty good third period," Hakstol said. "But it's a 60-minute game. I'm not happy with our team at all right now."
From a player's perspective, Duncan said UND needs to find a way to play at a high level each game.
"Every team has their own different way of getting out of the funk they're in," he said. "I still think our team has a lot of potential, but we're having one or two mistakes that are costing us the entire game. We're saying the same thing every night, so we've got to find a way to correct it."
Wisconsin and UND will meet Saturday night at 7:05 p.m. in Engelstad Arena for the second game of the series.

According to a radio interview with Urban Meyer, the number one position of need for the Ohio State Buckeyes is linebacker. The team took a what it hopes is a big step toward filling those needs with the class of 2014, which is up to twenty-three players after letters of intent came in today.
"Without question, the position that is not up to standard is linebacker," said Meyer on 97.1 The Fan in Columbus. Meyer hinted that all four recruits from this class could end up playing.
LB Raekwon McMillan is one of seven recruits that enrolled early and is already working out with the team and apparently making quite an impression. Meyer said today that McMillan was "kind of a grown man for his age." ESPN rated him the top inside linebacker recruit in the nation.
Kyle Berger from St. Ignatius, Dante Booker from St. Vincent-St. Mary and Sam Hubbard from Cincinnati Moeller join McMillan to form the top linebacking recruiting class in the country according to 247 sports.com.
The defensive secondary was also upgraded with Marshon Lattimore and Erick Smith from Glenville, Damon Webb of Detroit, Michigan and Malik Hooker of Pennsylvania.
On the offensive side of the ball the line was in need of several replacements and the Buckeyes feel they got what they needed when Chicago's Jamarco Jones made the commitment to play for Ohio State. He tops the list of five offensive linemen brought in by Urban Meyer's staff.
Of course, Meyer made sure to recruit plenty of speed, including a few wide receivers that have a chance to see the field in 2014.

It's time to get our gardens in tip-top shape for the season. So flex those sowing muscles and dig into spring like a pro—here are eight things that you should do now to get ready to grow!
1. Clean up and repair
High winds, heavy snow and freezing rain are just some of the damaging elements our gardens face over winter, so spring is the time to inspect for damage, prune back or remove broken stems and branches, clean up any debris and remove any plants that just didn't survive the deep freeze.
2. Edge and amend
An instant way to improve the garden is to amend the soil, which simply means adding in more of the "good stuff." To improve drainage, add organic matter (like leaf mould or shredded leaves), composted manures, top soil and, in some cases, horticultural sand and grit. Also add peat moss to increase acidity and improve moisture retention. Afterwards, give your flowerbeds a fresh new edging by running an edger or spade around their perimeter.
3. Prune and control
The cardinal rule is to prune after they bloom, but for those late-blooming clematis and hydrangeas, various shrubs and fruit-bearing woody plants, early spring is the time to prune into performance and snip them into shape!
4. Combat crabgrass
Use corn gluten to minimize the germination of weed seeds like crabgrass, an annual weed that spreads easily from seed. The key is to apply the corn gluten in early spring before weed seeds germinate, and remember: You must wait four to six weeks to reseed your turf grass after applying corn gluten.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, when dealing with a conduit loan assumption you should expect it to be more hassle and take longer than you think it should. I felt prepared for that. However, dealing with Key Bank on our current deal is maddening. We originated the loan with Column Financial, and Key Bank is the Master Servicer. The deal calls for our buyer to assume our existing financing.
When we first submitted the application for the assumption we planned on closing the deal by the end of August. Thankfully our buyer (the assumptor) is very motivated to close the deal and has been very prompt in providing all of the requested documentation about himself and his entity.
After several phone calls and emails looking for confirmation that we were on track for an end-of-August close, I finally received an email saying that closing in August will be impossible. I called again this morning to find out what the new timing would be (of course Key Bank didn't include that vital bit of information in the original email response). I looks like we are more likely close around the end of September. The explanation for the delay... there are other borrowers with looming exchange deadlines. Pam, the rep I've been working with hasn't been able to get our package together to submit to the Special Servicer who is the second step in the assumption process. AAAARRrrrrggggg!
OK, so lets assume you are in my shoes someday. What should you do? Here's some suggestions. I'll let you know how they work.
- Create urgency. Since I don't have a looming exchange deadline, I'm going to tell them that my buyer's resolve is wavering and they better not make me lose the deal.
- I'm going to contact our rep at Key Bank who works in origination (not servicing) and see if he can exert some pressure.
- I'm going to contact the head of Key's Conduit Lending group here in the West, Louis Weisman, and see if he can help me. Key originated a $5M loan on a self storage property we acquired in 2005 and Louis wants to put the permanent financing in place now that the property is leased up. Hopefully he'll see helping me as getting a leg up on the competition.
- I'm going to talk to the correspondent lenders who originated the loan and see if they can exert any influence even though they are not with Key Bank.
I wondered out loud in a previous post if there is room in the market for "premium servicing". I'm not sure I would pay for it up front when it was so uncertain whether I was going to need the "premium" part. However, in the present circumstances I would gladly pay an addition $1-5K to get some speedier service and a guarantee that we would close by a reasonable date.
I also wonder if a lot more assumptions are in the pipeline because the spread on conduit loans have increased to around 200+ bps over the treasury with lower LTV and higher DSCR thresholds. The current conditions in the lending market certainly make assuming a loan a lot more attractive these days.

text: I collect maps (no surprise there), I also collect masks. I love the outdoors and camping with the least possible equipment (again a map link of sorts), I like history (another map connection) and science fiction and gardening. I see myself as a polymath...my interests are very widespread, and these explanations are pretty much the tip of a big iceberg. I suppose understanding the human condition would come close to my main hobby.

Discussion with
Tarja TURUNEN
) realized by
to Paris June 14 2013.
My Winter Storm
is appeared in 2007,
What Lies Beneath
in 2010 and you publish this year, in 2013,
Colours In The Dark
. A new album every three years, this is a rhythm of cruise or is this duty to your other activities, concerts, parallel projects…?
Tarja TURUNEN
: This is in fact rather natural. Turn for each of these albums takes about two years, and when I am in turned, I really cannot write new songs. I record a lot of ideas, what I saw, that I met what happened during the trips and on the turn also. The ideas were born, but I have really not enough energy to draw from it songs. Whenever I am at the house, that I have my equipment, I write some, between the turns. This became a rhythm: two years of turn, after the go out of the album then I take a little time to write new songs. That asks a lot of times, in fact. I have equally other activities: as lyric singer, I have other projects, but the turns
take a lot of times.
: Which is the meaning of the title of this new album "
Colours In The Dark
" (colors in obscurity)?
Tarja TURUNEN
: That has all to see with my current life, in reality. The latter years, it arrived me so many things, so in my private life that professional. All that transported me in a superb place, where I am located in a really comfortable position. I feel simplement…libre. The whole process of this album was so easier than before. Of course, there is an apprenticeship process but all came so naturally. Even my voice is more natural than never. Nevertheless, I worked more than ever the latter years. There is a process of apprenticeship of all these experiences, that evidently have an impact on my art, since that affects me directly. This album is very personal… You see, the colors of the envelope are very strong, luminous, and this I feel. I met superb people, I heard so histories… All that, I see it as colors.
: You consider equally that you were in the penumbra a certain time?
Tarja TURUNEN
: She accompanies me always a little, this penumbra. I know not why, but I love this aspect. Maybe that that comes from the place where I was born, where I grew in Finland, the manner in which I was implied in the metal, which arrived very suddenly. I had nothing to do with the Metal before the group but I there was very opened. I listened of the
but this was not that. This was mélodique, powerful, a lot of harmony and of beautiful colors – to this era, with the group. And I myself there felt well, then, "yes, this I do". Then yes, this dark side that influences my manner to write aujourd'hui is a part of me. And I do not want to undo some me, do you see?
: This is also what participates in your creativity, I imagine…
Tarja TURUNEN
: You know, I live in a really building very high, to
Buenos Aires
. This is a big city, noisy. When evenings arrive, that the sun goes to bed, I begin noticing the true colors of the other buildings. Every evening, I look at a new paint through my big panes. I like really this setting that is never the same. This is also a moment where the calm returns, all slowed and that calms me also. This is a moment to think about oneself, and this is a very good thing.
: Let's speak now of the album.
Victim Of Ritual
, that opens the album, groups together according to me all that does
. One there rediscovers classic, with the
, Metal, influences Hispanics... Do you consider this introductory song as a presentation of what you are?
Tarja TURUNEN
: She represents a lot that I am. I love the theatrical aspects of a song. This is a true tournament to write a song as that one. It is necessary for me enormously time to find the classical piece that would open this song, to find this version of the
. When at last this arrived, I was said: "Waoh, that can take me very far". There is so many energy, of mystery… THIS IS a great song to open this album. And this is the history of victims of a ritual. I saw so many people to live with a ritual that sometimes can be them harmful, but that do not arrive to itself to undo some. Maybe I have also a ritual, doubtless I must do something before a spectacle otherwise this will be a disaster. In reality, for that I feel confidence, I repeat myself. This became a habit, to repeat certain things.
500 Letters
is more directly
, while
Lucid Dreamer
reminds me… indeed, this song frightens me. She evokes me a carnival party. I am as a child having misled its parents…
Tarja TURUNEN
: Oh, my god!
: : …And the night falls. I advance while looking at all these strange carousels, I hear this strange music; a little as
just one before that it does not transform himself in donkey.
Tarja TURUNEN
: This is so inspired to hear you to say that! This is exactly what I try to do, paint pictures. ..et this I do. I will love to have the possibility, a day, to write for the movie. I believe that that is me rather easy, because this I do in my songs. I work with a lot of people that work only on music of film, for
. Of course, they influence me.
Lucid Dreamer
is as a sort of sequenced dream, as I define it. The song transforms itself to go in another world. This is a dream. Or a nightmare, to the choice. I like to play with all these sounds, to separate them totally of the song. I will like to be able to be a lucid dreamer, to be able to check my dreams. Certain there reach. This is what inspired me. But how one can to check its worse nightmares? And my girl screams in this song. It is she who frightens you! (Laugh)
Mystic Voyage
reminds me somewhat
Tarja TURUNEN
: Interesting… I LIKE a lot this group, but again than
, child, I listened a lot
. It is a song that I wrote several years ago, before
What Lies Beneath
. But she was not ready, and I put it aside, for that she ripens. She talks about my trip. As I said it for you, I so traveled… Now, I am impregnated of a very other culture, Argentina. It is a song that treats owing to to live in another culture. And also, I wanted to write words in Finnish, in English, in Spaniard. This is me, this I do aujourd'hui. Most of the time… THIS IS a beautiful song.
reminds me
James BOND
. There is this theme that uniformly returns…
Tarja TURUNEN
James BOND
was an influence, as on
, for example. I like the movie usually. But I like again more
James BOND
: Which interpreter of
James BOND
do you prefer?
Tarja TURUNEN
(as an evidence, with a wide one to smile, the crackling look and a voice all soft one) :
Sean CONNERY
Never Enough
Into The Sun
had been presented to your public at the time of your last turned one, and to the fans on the
Act 1
. These songs have therefore written summers there already are some times…
Tarja TURUNEN
: In fact, that climbs back up the moment I started the composition of this album, in fact. It was necessary two years and half to finish to write it.
Never Enough
… I wanted to have an energetic song for the concert, but I had the impression that
Never Enough
would not be ready for the turn. I wanted to have pleasure with the people, to present them a title of the future album. I needed to work again more over, at the level of the guitars.
did a huge work over, rendered even more aggressive them, to the picture of the paroles.Les fans will be can be shocked to listen the difference… A song is written, she already was played, then how one feels when one in discovery a radically changed version? It was difficult, but that brings freshness. A freshness that one needs to rediscover.
Colours In The Dark
goes out in the month of August. I imagine that a new turned one is equally in preparation…
Tarja TURUNEN
: Of course, she will begin in the month of October.
: And that we do you reserve as surprises?
Tarja TURUNEN
: I did not have enough time for some to discuss with my team, with the musicians, the same that before. I nickname them the
Power group
! They lack me really all. I worked with
Mike TERRANA
the latter months…
: The beast…
Tarja TURUNEN
(laugh) : Yes, the beast. But all lack me. I was rather alone in the production of this album. The guys recorded there already are some times and did not listen the final result some days ago scarcely. They reacted… "Oh, woman! What did you this song??? Oh, my God!" They are so happy with the result, it is unbelievable! Between the moment where they are recorded and the one where they are arranged, the songs radically change. I work over until all there is, the least detail. I add the colors afterwards. One starts up therefore in October by central Europe, two or three weeks, then we will do a pause. I have again a turn of Christmas at the end of the year, then one will resume the turn at the beginning of year. In in cash all the station wagons, she come to an end in 2015.
: 2013 + 3…That means a new album for 2016
Tarja TURUNEN
: Exactly! I already have again ready titles, besides!
: With that would you dream to be able to work?
Tarja TURUNEN
: This is an easy question… I said it and repeated since years already. I had never believed to be able to be able to resume a song of Mister
Peter GABRIEL
, which I did with
. I love this artist and I admire his work. Work with him would be really to transform a dream in reality… A day, maybe…
: I noticed that on your two last albums –
Colours In The Dark
– the presence of upright lines linking up different points or letters. That does me to think about a spider canvas. Which is the meaning of these lines? Has one to understand that you try attract your fans in this spider canvas in order to eat them very swelling?
Tarja TURUNEN
(bursting out laughing) : But do to what you think? ! ? No! I never saw the things under this angle…C' is really interesting to speak with you! You are very… imaginative! It is for that that I like to discuss with the people, have their return, their impressions. I work with the same designer since
My Winter Storm
. One has muri together with the time. These points and lines were present since some times. This is not evident for him for I do not leave him a lot of freedoms of action. I like the photo, and I love to look at strong pictures. In this direction, the designer does not have a lot of free fields with regards to the
. The lines are part of his world. And they will return doubtless…
I am anxious to thank
for his kindness, his availability and his spontaneity- the whole opposite of a capricious diva - and
Olivier GARNIER
that returned this possible interview in any last minute!

Bauhaus were an English rock band formed in Northampton in 1978. The group consisted of Peter Murphy (vocals), Daniel Ash (guitar), Kevin Haskins (drums) and David J (bass). The band was originally Bauhaus 1919 before they dropped the numerical portion within a year of formation. With their dark and gloomy sound and image, Bauhaus are generally considered the first gothic rock group. Bauhaus first broke up in 1983. Peter Murphy began a solo career while the other members continued as Tones on Tail and, later, Love and Rockets. Both enjoyed greater commercial success in the United States than Bauhaus had, but disappeared from the charts in their homeland. The band reunited for a 1998 tour and...

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hi - my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm a litigation attorney here to assist you.
No, you're not responsible for the debt unless you signed the loan documents. The lender should not have given a loan unless you consented to it because you own an interest in the property. Even if you don't agree to be responsible for the debt, the lender is supposed to have a co-owner sign a hypothecation agreement - which is a fancy word for you agreeing that your interest in the property is subject to the lien even though you're not borrowing the money/liable for the debt. If the lender didn't get this from you, the lien should be void as to your interest in the property.
Yes, you can demand that he buy you out, and if he refuses, you can file a partition lawsuit, which actually forces the sale of the property. If you file this suit, the judge will order an appraisal of the property. Then, the judge will give either party the opportunity to buy the other out. If there are not takers, the judge will order the property to be sold at public auction for the fair market value established by the appraisal.
If you can't agree to a buyout, I would recommend that you hire an attorney to help you file the petition.

New Zealand Law
Ask a New Zealand Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Many thanks for that. There are no children and there is no property to consider. I do however need something in writing as I am on NZ Superannuation and at present I am missing out on approx. $200 a month because I have no written agreement with my wife regarding being separated. They have asked to see something on paper before they can increase my payments.
Thanks again. I am going to Germany in August and, having received an email from a friend there this morning, will be going with him to the German lawyers and getting the papers released. He is fluent in the German language, so it should all go smoothly.
All it will cost me is the release fee, not a huge amount!! Thank you for your help, much appreciated.

Avril Lavigne set for reality show?Avril Lavigne is set to star in a reality TV show.
The 'Complicated' hitmaker's boyfriend Brody Jenner - who has previously featured in MTV programs 'The Hills', 'The Princes of Malibu' and 'Bromance' - is said to be desperate to land a deal for the couple, despite the singer's reluctance to appear on camera.
A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: "Brody has been begging her to do it. She's in love with him so she doesn't want to say no." But she really doesn't want to take her career that direction, either."
The 'Girlfriend' singer and Brody have been dating since February and recently got two sets of matching tattoos.
The pair decided to show their love and devotion to each other by having each other's names etched onto their bodies.
Avril - who filed for divorce from her husband, Sum 41 rocker Deryck Whibley, last October - has Brody's name inked next to her right breast while Brody's Avril tattoo is on his inner arm.
In April, it was reported the pair had the same lightning bolt designs etched onto their bodies. Avril had her tattoo on her forearm, whereas Brody opted for his to be behind his ear.

Fundamentals for Getting Laid
Updated: August 26 2014
Hey Losers, I'm coming at ya from 10,000 feet high in the sky on Delta flight D147 headed to Atlanta, GA. The wonders of technology.
Perhaps a future discovery might be an airplane seat that fits humans that weigh more than 130lbs.
Rather than watching "Elf" (Will Ferrell), generally considered the very worst movie of all time with the very worst actor of all time - I'm going to discuss "Fundamentals". These 5 fundamentals are the core attributes that are involved in Getting Laid the SAME NIGHT and being attractive in this "game".
Being a Top 10% guy, as we say.
Generally speaking - if you have 2 or 3 fundamentals at an above-average level, you'll be far ahead of most guys - who, at best - have only 1 of them. Most have none.
If you have 3 or 4 at an above-average level, you'll easily be in the "top 10%" of guys - and rightfully have a shot at doing, retaining and pursuing a relationship (with or without strings attached) with nearly all women that are sexually available and/or DTF.
In fact, most guys that end up doing 100+ chicks in their lifetime (which is maybe 1 in every 1000 guys?) - generally only have 3 of these Fundamentals down - unless they are sleeping with girls that are 3 or 4 levels below them.
Strive for 5, but you'll do very well with 2 or 3 - provided you play the numbers game and actually hit up a good 20 girls a week (at least).
The 5 Fundamentals are-
* Looks and Style can be combined into a single attribute called "Sex Appeal".
** Likewise, Killer Instinct (advanced Social Freedom) can be attached to Social Freedom.
In which case, an abbreviated list is-
Now, lets note that the importance of these 5 fundamentals will vary given the circumstances.
For example-
With Getting Laid [A LOT] and the SAME NIGHT, there is a higher emphasis on Sex Appeal (Looks, Style). Whereas in committed relationships (or the later stages of retention), there is a higher emphasis on things like lifestyle factors (including money).
As usual, we will be covering the Fundamentals for GETTING LAID (specially the SAME NIGHT) and not "meeting women" or characteristics that make you an attractive boyfriend candidate.
(we will discuss the latter in the future)
If you can Get Laid the SAME DAY/NIGHT, you can Get Laid a lot.
While collecting phone numbers definitely "works" and it's where I suggest most guys begin (Basic Guy Game), it's actually not a super efficient way to Get Laid. The guys that nail a ton of girls (usually in bar/club/party scene) finish the job THAT NIGHT.
Before we discuss the Fundamentals, it's important to note that there are 2 factors that are ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY to Getting Laid the SAME NIGHT (therefore, a lot).
In fact, arguably, each of these is MORE IMPORTANT than any of the five Fundamentals - and possibly more than all 5 of them combined.
Without these, it doesn't matter how tight your Fundamentals are - you won't be hitting your potential - simply because you won't be nailing girls that SAME NIGHT.
2 Mandatory Factors to Get Laid A Lot
Sexual Availability
Without this, nothing else matters.
If the girl IS NOT DTF, for whatever reason (has work in the morning, on her period, has a boyfriend, etc.) - neither you or I will be getting in her pants.
In many cases, the girl might be sexually available (single and looking) but not DTF (looking for a boyfriend).
This factor is largely decided well before you even set eyes on her.
It is completely outside your control.
One of the very worst things that the pick up artist community teaches people is - if you don't get the girl, YOU did something wrong and your "game" needs fixing, an eBook and a $5,000 workshop.
This is ridiculous.
(I believed it to some degree, even though my experience repeatedly showed otherwise)
The vast majority of girls that you bang within 24 hours were DTF or at least considering/open to some sexual encounter. There might be some that you feel that you "convinced" to sleep with you - but chances are - they had an idea in their heads (and some alcohol), at least a little bit. A lot of girls shave their pussy, go out and are willing to "see what happens".
Although hardly exciting after the first few times it happened, I've slept with girls who had/claimed to have boyfriends.
While I could credit my amazing "game" and off the fucking chain "Looks", the reality is that these loosely committed girls were probably going to cheat on their boyfriends anyway. I just passed their "Looks Threshold" and cashed in at the right time. I didn't "change their mind" or "make them bad", I just slept with a girl that was looking and willing, which is no different than the average single girl that is open (but not necessarily looking) to Get Laid.
This is why, per definition, "seduction" does not actually exist.
Coined in early 2012, the term "Sexual Availability" appears to be a revolutionary concept, Scotty and I have never heard this discussed anywhere in any capacity beyond "well you can't expect to get like - every girl".
The fact that this is ignored or not understood by the mainstream authorities leads us to believe they haven't been with or even talked to too many girls. Sexual Availability is clear as day to ANYONE that has picked up a lot of chicks by doing the EXACT SAME THING each time.
Screening is the most efficient approach to measuring Sexual Availability. Girls that are DTF react positively or don't leave when they are touched, girls that are not DTF, don't.
As with Sexual Availability, this is mandatory if you want to Get Laid the SAME NIGHT.
Ideally, you should have a pre-planned spot that is no more than ~10 minutes away from where you are meeting women.
It is often the difference between sleeping with a girl and never speaking to her again.
It also bypasses things like phone-tag, texting, dating and compromising your schedule.
Guys that Get Laid a lot aren't taking phone numbers and following up with "text game" - they are tagging girls the SAME DAY or NIGHT.
If you hear some expert bragging about his "text game" or posting hour long text threads on forums to impress people - you'll know that he's actually pretty inexperienced.
When I lived at Santa Monica Beach, I always had 25-50+ girls within 5 minutes of my apartment just off the beach.
When I lived on Kings Ave. (Sunset Blvd.), I always had 1 or 2 night spots packed with 25-50+ girls within 5 minutes of my apartment.
The Five Fundamentals
Assuming the above are in play - THE GIRL IS AVAILABLE and YOU HAVE A PLACE TO TAKE HER, these five factors contribute to 99.9% of being an attractive guy that Gets Laid a lot via cold approach.
"Looks" is how good looking you are.
This is the primary factor in attracting women.
In fact, I argue that "looks" are more important to women than to men.
Men will sleep with girls that are 2, 3 or 4 levels below them and brag about it.
Girls generally will not sleep with a guy that is not at least on her level or above her.
If she does, she'll usually try to cover it up so her friends never find out.
In relationships and social circles, however, "looks" are still significant but admittedly of lesser importance.
If you aren't convinced that "looks matter", have you ever heard a girl say "He's hot..."?
That's because looks matter. A LOT.
(especially to younger girls, who sit around for hours talking about which guys are hot and why they think so)
The good news is there is a something called a "Looks Threshold" that is in play when you approach a girl that you don't know.
The "Looks Threshold" is generally about a 7 or 8 for most attractive DTF girls, even the super hot ones. Above-average looking, usually not more than 1 or 2 levels below them.
If you aren't "good looking" by definition, you can still 'look good' or appear extra masculine.
If you see hot girls with ugly guys that are out of shape (I DON'T), chances are- these guys did not pick up these girls and they might not even be together in the first place.
There are obviously exceptions, but EVERY guy that I know who is successful with approaching women is at least above-average looking.
Approaching attractive women if you have more than 15 pounds to lose (or more than 20% BF) is basically useless.
You are better off approaching girls that are overweight or better yet- losing weight.
The part that is sometimes overemphasized about "Looks" is - while it is the main factor in attracting girls, there's two other factors (Social Freedom, Killer Instinct) that are more important to actually Getting Laid.
Trust me, I know, I was pretty much a 9 or 10 to most girls in my early and mid 20's - and I still had an average sex life.
Style is how good and cool you look.
(if you are not "good looking" - you can still make yourself "look good" or masculine)
There's not really a lot that I need to tell you that you don't already know.
There is not a single guy I know that has an outdated style that has much success with women outside of his social circles in Los Angeles.
Good looking guys can sometimes get away with poor style choices and still have an average sex life.
But why the hell would you want that?
Social Freedom
Social Freedom is your ability to approach and interact with women, both verbally and non-verbally.
I know guys that can do wacky Jackass stunts in public and make a fool of themselves in front of large groups of people but can't talk to girls. While it might take social courage to act like a freak in public - how "wacky" you can be is not our definition of Social Freedom.
While "Looks" and "Style" involve "attracting" women, Social Freedom involves making things happen and Getting Laid.
I consider a guy who can approach 90% of the girls that he wants to talk to (finishes the AA Program) to have Social Freedom at around an 8 or 9. Killer Instinct fulfills the last 1 or 2 points.
Remember, the average guy cannot speak to an attractive girl he doesn't know without 2 or 3 drinks in him, so the bar is pretty low.
Swag Factor
Swag Factor is how cool you really are (social skills) and your social status.
While Style is how cool you look- Swag Factor is how cool you actually are.
It is environmentally dependent.
A bodybuilder with 22" arms is considered cool at the gym, but not necessarily at a nightclub.
Likewise, a skinny dirtbag who always walks around with a cigarette on his ear might be considered cool in Hollywood club circles - probably looks like a little bitch at the gym.
The discussion on Swag Factor is extensive but it is one of the most ignored (or unrealized) Fundamentals.
Like everything else, you just need to be "pretty cool" or "cooler than the average guy" - not a rockstar or an A-list celebrity.
Killer Instinct
Killer Instinct is your ability to "pull the trigger" and can be considered "advanced Social Freedom".
In involves escalation and leading the interaction toward the bedroom. It also covers "sexual freedom" vs. "sexual anxiety".
It is a display of dominance and raw masculinity. In mentality and action.
While it may seem like Killer Instinct is only in play when a girl is sitting on your bed, that's certainly not the case.
Killer Instinct is part of every interaction, from beginning to end.
An interaction with a girl you like is all just foreplay anyway.
Simply grabbing a girl by the hand and saying "lets go over here" is a display of Killer Instinct.
Telling a girl "Shhh..." and kissing her is Killer Instinct.
Moving FAST is Killer Instinct.
Getting RESULTS is a direct reflection of your KILLER INSTINCT.
In our opinion - KILLER INSTINCT IS THE DEFINITION OF "GAME".
A guy can tell all the jokes he wants, be smooth, playful and use flashy techniques - but when it comes down to it does he grab the girl, take her home and do her? Does he DOMINATE HER physically and psychologically? Or is he busy "spitting game" and being smooth?
That the only thing that matters. Results.
Although sometimes overemphasized, when evaluating "how good" an NFL quarterback is - the question most often asked is- DOES HE WIN (in the playoffs)?
Does he win meaningful games?
Or does he fall flat on his face when it really matters?
At the end of the day, does he get the job DONE?
Or is it all just flashy statistics (Tony Romo) and ESPN highlights (Michael Vick)?
The parallel could be-
Does the guy fuck a lot of girls that are on his level or above him?
Does he get results?
There's your definition of "game" and Killer Instinct would be the primary factor involved in getting A LOT of results. There's a ton of good looking guys that can't pull the trigger and will forever underachieve.
Not being flashy.
Not being smooth.
So many people evaluate "smoothness" and "style" to measure game - completely ignoring the only thing that matters- RESULTS.
Looks being equal, the guy that is clumsy will sleep with girls has better "game" than a guy that is smooth, but doesn't get laid as much with the same caliber girls.
This is very different than whatever most people think "game" is.
In my opinion- a guy that bangs 1 out of 100 girls and takes 0 phone numbers has better "game" (aka results) than a guy that take 100 phone numbers and doesn't Get Laid once. (extreme hypothetical, but you know what I'm saying)
Not surprisingly, the term or theme of Killer Instinct is rarely discussed or even mentioned among the mainstream.
It doesn't take Killer Instinct to meet women.
It DOES takes Killer Instinct to fuck them on the first night though.
I will talk about the 4 or 5 Killer Instinct moves you need to know in the near future.
Surprisingly, you can fake some of these pretty well so long as you are willing to try. If a girl likes you, she'll follow your lead. Remember, "Killer Instinct" is just advanced Social Freedom, it's not a totally new language and chances are- so long as you've taken a girl into your bedroom, the moves won't be too foreign either. Sometimes, it's just a matter of trying to do it faster.

You've thought about it long enough.
Hey Chris been following GLL and you for about a month now. Love your content man.
About killer instinct when you ask girls out for drinks ,do you ever just bring them straight to your place instead and skip the foreplay and go right to it?
I go on day 2s (dates) after getting girls #. I meet them up and meet somewhere near my house to get drinks or food or walk around then finally end up at my place. Before I even meet them I'm imaging what it would be like hooking up with her and I get riled up (horny/excited) and this pent up energy builds up. I think it would be so nice just to skip the BS and date, and just grab her hand walk straight to the bedroom and pounce on her with killer instinct.
Your thoughts and experience Chris? Thanks man.
thanks mike - thats the idea!
Also to add something relevant to the post...
re finishing the job and getting results.
We went out on Friday, and honestly we owned this little club in Soho we had girls with obvious boyfriends giving us signals BUT, My friend who has absolutely no issues in literally hoarding together a tonne of girls or doing the most ridiculous things to girls, he was on his knees screaming at some girl and she was finding it funny or talking to a girl who had her boyfriend standing next to her, but still...
The moral of the story is this, we chatted with like 30+ girls got numbers, had a girl offer to be my wing girl.
And we went home empty handed...
Why? Although my friend has confidence to talk to any girl he wants and regularly goes up to girls and asks tem what they are looking at, he ends up so drunk that by the end he's not going to get laid, and anyone who's with him isn't either. So I was with the wrong the people...
Also the flat, it was just not in a good state before we left. We hadn't cleared up, we didn't have clean towels, no food , no drink, satellite was broke. So leaving that flat we had already lost the battle for we had gone out....
Would be awesome if Chris could do an article on how your apartment/place should be like for bringing girls back ...
I saw a good one on YouTube by Keira Noble , she says, have girly drinks, junk food, fluffy towels, good lighting(not candles she says..)...just a girl friendly place. Clean sheets, nice pillows etc.
So anyone who would have seen us in that club would have guessed we would have been gangbanging by te end of the night, but reality was I had to lug my drunk friend home and ended up a shit night.
So the mistakes were, who I went out with, the flat just wasn't a fun place to go back to that night...
Hey Cedric,
Thanks for the kind words
I force myself now to walk up to people and have a chat with them, it slowly starts to become a reflex...
i think i cultivated that way of thinking because of bad conditioning...when everybody around you remind you that you can't talk to people, then you start to believe it...but fortunately i start to eliminate that illusion.
Yeah it's getting crazy out central, quite special. The numbers of very hot women who are out hoping for guys to approach them is high. I was out last night and was good, ending up meeting a hottie from Zurich and some girl who wanted to be my wing girl after I fobbed her off she said she was bisexual and would help me find chicks lol. Went to very cheesy club but was a lot of fun the main clubs don't really let In single guys. Thing with London is planning planning planning. Boy I have checked out your blog before and would have loved to met with you in London but was in Marrakesh at the time. Welcome to stay here, will be throwing a party like every month in 2014 and normally they are pretty good so I'll let you know when those are, just say we met through work or something . But yeah you are welcome to have a room here just hit me up before you land If I'm not here concierge can let you in and can have the place to yourself provided it's looks the same when I get back. My mob is 00447776188774 add me on whatsapp and let me know if your around. All the best in Copenhagen meanwhile but making the move over here will definitely give access to a huge amount of some amazing girls .All the best
I sure will, right now you can find the vid on this playlist
dailymotion has all the "harder" videos
Damn, this is good stuff Chris.
All that PUA bullshit I filled my head with years ago is slowly being eroded and replaced with these solid fundamentals.
I'll definitely be sharing this article with the guys I know who are looking to "claim that pussy" and claim it NOW!
Thanks man. Keep it up.
^MIG Loser, the only truth is, you can't talk to people becuase you say you CAN'T. You shouldn't worry bro, keep yourself with an open mind and pretty soon you'll be where you want to be. We aren't born into this world achieving anything except for crying and eating. It is then up too us to figure out our world. You're time will come, but it will never come if you envision your reality around, I CAN'T.
yeah I still have to do some thinking on Swag Factor. that article - while true and comprehesive.. i really gotta think on how to improve that area. which i certainly will do
HEy Amir- well you don't need millions as I'm sure you know. Logistics are simply being 5-10minutes from a pre-planned private place. Scotty uses his car a lot. I've used the beach outside the bars in Santa Monica, San Diego. Having a party at your house - is ideal logistics. Generally you want to live 5-15 minutes from where you are hitting on girls though
In answer to your 1st question- when they are DTF-- you gotta strike RIGHT THEN, there's no guarantee she'll even meet up in the future -- especially if you are seen as a player or scumbag
I didn't think the "Get Hung" guide would have girls eyeing my bulge. It did.
I didn't think that your exercise and diet advice would have girls checking me out. It did.
I DEFINITELY didn't think that your hair-loss prevention would fix my hairline. Not in a billion years. It mother fucking did. You saved me a crazy amount of time, a ton of money, unnecessary pain, and destroyed my #1 source of anxiety. DESTROYED IT.
Kratom is next!
To anyone reading this, follow through, read this material, APPLY this material, and enjoy life.

Column: Oh-la-la: When England buys, France swoons
"For real football passion - which is what you really crave when you're coming from France, because they kind of miss out on football passion a bit in France - Newcastle for me is destination No. 1," Stainrod said in an interview.
According to reports in French media, Newcastle got three France internationals - midfielder Sissoko and defenders Mathieu Debuchy and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa - plus forward Yoan Gouffran and 20-year-old defender Massadio Haidara this January for a modest total of about $32 million. Liverpool paid not far off twice that for just one Englishman, Newcastle striker Andy Carroll, in 2011.
"Sissoko was a great grab," Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas said. "A couple of years ago he was being linked with the top clubs in the world and to get him at such a low price was a massive coup for them."
French clubs need the revenue from player sales.
"Perhaps we should look on the bright side of things here and tell ourselves that it will give chances to youngsters, to other players, and perhaps clean up the finances of quite a few clubs," said Lyon coach Remi Garde. "All French clubs have entered a period of austerity."
France can also take pride that it has so many players to sell.
Stainrod, who lives in Cannes on the French Riviera, called France "the European Brazil for producing players," with a conveyor belt of talent from youth training programs that "is second to none."
Still, that France can't keep more players is a sign of comparative weakness. Bigger television revenues give Premier League teams more financial clout than French ones. Montpellier earned $47 million in TV income in 2012 when it won France's Ligue 1. That is half the size of the TV bonanza that went to Premier League champion Manchester City and considerably less, even, than the $63 million Wolverhampton Wanderers got in finishing last in England's top league.
"They're not buying our players to flatter us but because they're good value," said Jean-Louis Triaud, president of Bordeaux, which got $3.3 million from Newcastle for Gouffran.
"For me, it's just a reality we can't fight," he said in a phone interview. French players' "transfers and salaries cost less. They would be silly not to take advantage of that."
Or, as they say in Newcastle, at least for now: Vive la France!
