Amazing resturant, took me back to India flavours were out of this world. This is better than any Indian in England that I've eaten in. Highly recommend the Somaza chat an explosion of flavour in your mouth and the Lamb Rogan Josh was to die for. I also loved the drink Nimbu Pani lovely and refreshing. The service was excellent also. A must visit we will be backread more

Staying in St Lucia for two full weeks I found the Spice of India and I was hooked right away. The staff is amazing super friendly and professional. The chef is great at what he's preparing also the owner is super friendly. He makes it a point to checks on his customers. I tried something new every day. A different appetizer and entree and I enjoyed every one of them. Thanks again.read more

Spice of India is located in Rodney Bay. Beautiful interior and warm welcome of the staff makes you happy as you walk in. We ordered Samosa chaat and chef's veg tasting menu. Both tasted really good and were more than enough for us two. We liked the chutney collection that came with samosa chaat so much we asked for seconds! The taster menu included four curries, rice and naan as well as gulab jamun - dessert. Liked the bangles on display by the reception desk, reminded me of my bangle collection! If I have to choose between this and Masala Bay, I would choose this. Keep up the good work team...read more

Being part of the hospitality industry from Trinidad and Tobago, and on vacation . I was overjoyed and appreciated the level of excellent customer service shown towards us. From having the owner himself visiting our table from the get go, to the impeccable attention to detail shown by the servers. By the time the food came out my heart was already won over by the team. My palate was taken on a magical culinary journey from my first bite to the last morsel on my plate, which I can simply say was amazing. I tip my hat to the chef Jesse and the kitchen team for their satisfying preparations. I left Spice of India St Lucia mesmerized, satisfied and thankful for their A-class service.read more

Without a doubt, this is the finest Indian cuisine I've had the pleasure of enjoying. I will return to St. Lucia just for the ever so fragrant and palate savouring Mumtaz Kofta. The assorted homemade chutneys and Chili pickle spreads make a great first impression. Alas, the homemade Kheer and Saffron Cheesecake bring the meal to a devine finish.I cannot wait to return, (this evening�).read more

Food is tasty and spicy of course. You can ask to make every dish more or less spicy when ordering though. Bit pricy, but we found it one of very few places open on Christmas day in the neighborhood. Staff is polite; offered free small desert for all guest at our table that was nice.

Absolutely the best service I have ever had in over 20 years of frequent visits to St Lucia. The staff is extremely pleasant, knowledgeable about their food and very attentive. You are made to feel very welcome and you can trust their recommendations. I have not come across any other restaurants in the Caribbean where the staff know their menu like this place. Always a pleasant experience in a nice ambience.

Best Indian food I've ever had and I've had it on at least there continents. They have a real chef at Spice of India.

Well you could go there to meet the excellent staff, just don't eat the food! Really not authentic Indian food, I've had better curry from a waitrose microwave meal. Even the nan was flat. The staff tried to ease my disappointment, they are very pleasant and attentive and 5 stars, but the food is a minus, oh and its pricey with it too.

Awesome Lunch Special & Strawberry Frozen Lassi! We came here seeing the good reviews, but was hesitant because we should be eating Caribbean styles of food instead of Indian. But I have to tell you this is actually one of my best meals on the island. We came during lunch and chose the lunch special with 4 dishes, rice and naan. It is a good portion, and the price is reasonable! You won't regret coming here for something different in St Lucia!

When I go out for dinner, one of two things always happens. Either I get full & I'm glad I'm full, or I get full & wish wish I hadn't, only so I can taste more delicious food. Well tonight, I wish I hadn't gotten full. This food is so incredible, and packed with delicate flavors across the board. I'll have to come back so many more times to taste everything. Fantastic. Lastly, the atmosphere is inviting & the staff is super friendly. The bartender knows how to make a good drink, and the overall experience is truly an "experience".

One of the best and very few options for Indian food if you're around St Lucia. Me and my wife visited this restaurant looking for Indian cuisine on our trip to St Lucia and we were quite delighted by the food and hospitality. The staffs were polite and welcoming. The service was timely, food was great for a country where there weren't lots of options available and overall we really liked the friendly atmosphere.

Amazing food, their curries bring a symphony of flavor and the coconut naan is unforgettable.
13:45 09 Jul 19
Since the hotel look nice and also location was good we thought we can enjoy a nice Indian meal here in this restaurant. When food arrived, we both found out food was tasteless and not Indian at all. If one were trying out Indian food for the first time and this happened to be the place where they ate, they would probably not want to try Indian food ever again. An absolute disgrace. The ironic part is that Rodney Bay, St Lucia has so many visitors and with very few Indian food options close to the Bay, the place was still full and the owners are making good money. Its not like they are expecting to see the same visitor again, so yea why not dish out something and make money. The restaurant name is Spice of India but there was no Indian spices in food. I think all positive reviews are by friends and families. I TRIED RESTAURANT NAME "RAZMATAZ TANDOORI" IN THE SAME AREA AND FOUND GOOD AUTHENTICATE INDIAN FOOD THERE.

The service was excellent. Very welcoming, kind, and helpful. The food was delicious. I ordered the Chicken Vandaloo and Coconut Rice. I also had the Garlic and Cheese Naan. The flavors were fantastic, although the menu said the vandaloo was very spicy and I didn't find it extreme. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area. It is absolutely authentic.

I was skeptical if to eat here but I am so happy I did. Quality. Ambience. Cleanliness. Location. Everything was perfect. For a meal that we had, dining in, left us with alot left over to take back. Everything is authentic which was wonderful. The staff was great and attentive which we appreciated. My husband and I are big foodies and this was hands down the best meal we had in st.lucia. On a scale of 1-10, easily rate this a 9. ONLY because the price was a bit steep. Average meal could run you 52E.C (full course). All in all, I would gladly dine here again.

Made our night! My wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon in St. Lucia and had traveled up to Rodney Bay to see what the north of the island was like and Spice of India was a breath of fresh air (well, more like curry air but you know what I mean). Their service was excellent, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting and comforting which, in St Lucia, is sometimes hard to find. They even brought out a slice of cheesecake for my wife and I to celebrate our honeymoon with!

Amazing food. The food here is better than the food in India. You got to make reservations a day before if you come on weekends. The service here is better than the President service. It is just the best place to eat. Even the quantity are large so don't bother eating lunch just wait until dinner and eat. The prices are good for the food and service.

One-Armed Teen Zach Hodskins Just May Be the Next Great College Basketball Player
Zach Hodskins is the most unlikely hoops prodigy there is.
Hodskins, a one-armed basketball player from Alpharetta, Georgia has been offered a preferred walk-on spot by the University of Florida. That means Hodskins, who was born without any arm under his left elbow, would have a place on the roster, although he would not receive a scholarship.
Still, getting a chance with a powerhouse like Florida is a testament to his skill.
In fact, the six-foot-four Hodskins is a rising prep star. One scout who saw him at a recent summer camp said he had the most talent of anyone who played. The University of Alabama-Birmingham and Birmingham Southern have both been mulling with extending scholarships to him, as well.
Before he hits the college scene next year, you can learn more about him below:

| 6.3°C Belfast
Communities along the banks of the River Thames become the latest to be hit by flooding.
More than a dozen severe flood warnings were issued from Datchet to Shepperton Green, including Ham Court and Chertsey, as river levels became extremely high.
The Berkshire village of Datchet was severely hit as flooding blocked roads and train tracks.
Residents and shop owners waited for sandbags tonight and each delivery was greeted by a surge of activity, with some filling large plastic containers to enable them to carry as many as possible.
Local businesswoman Isabel Gil, who wanted to protect the entrance to her interior design studio, said: "I would have thought there would be a lot of sandbags all prepared in advance for this situation but they seem like gold dust. I can't get hold of any," she said.
"I've lived here for 25 years and I've never seen anything like this before.
"We saw higher (water) levels than ever last month and we thought that was going to be it hopefully.
"Now it's even worse. It's never come up like this in the middle of the village."
Ms Gil said the flooding had disrupted the entire village.
"It's impossible, you can't do anything," she said. "Everything grinds to a halt."
Tracey Green, 43, said: "If we get more rain tonight and tomorrow I think it's going to be quite rough. We're already prepared at home. We've moved stuff upstairs. It's bad, really bad.
"I hope they've got some sort of SOS plan in mind. There's a lot of elderly people in this village."
She added: "I think it could be potentially quite bad. Somerset and what's going on there at the moment is evidence of that. (I'm) dreading it to be honest."
Adam Afriyie, Conservative MP for Windsor, went to Datchet to show support for his constituents.
He said: "It's quite devastating. I live in Old Windsor and my heart really goes out to people.
"We have got hundreds of homes flooded, businesses that are shutting down and there are some real questions to be asked of the Environment Agency and others.
"But right now we've got to focus on making sure that everybody is safe and making sure that premises are as secure as they can be."
Residents in Staines were woken by telephone flood alerts as the Thames submerged a footpath and began to move towards homes on Laleham Road.
Denise Bristow, 63, said: ''We've been living here for 30 years and we've never seen it so high.
''We got a phone call from the Environment Agency at 7.30am with a flood alert.
''It is concerning. What will happen if it gets into the houses? You can't move everything. What if you've got heavy furniture?''
Her husband Fred, 65, was keen to make the most of the situation.
''I came out to get a few photographs to catch something different,'' he said.
Richard Fox, 67, said: ''I have lived in Staines all my life and as far as I'm aware this is just about as bad as it's ever been.''
He went on: ''The Thames Path which runs all the way along is completely obliterated.''
Station manager Paul Jones of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, who was among the emergency services personnel rescuing residents from their homes in Staines, said: ''I've been in the fire brigade for a long time and I've never seen water at this depth before and the amount of people that we're actually having to rescue.
''The amount of calls we're getting to rescues at the moment is unprecedented.
''We've got crews that are constantly out.''
A mother and daughter were rescued by a fire brigade boat after their home in Staines became cut off by water.
Sujata Jolly, 65, said: ''The water was almost up to my neck.
''We have been stranded for a week.''
Her daughter, Sapna Jolly, 40, added: ''Outside our house the water level is six-feet high.
''It was quite concerning. We wanted to come out as soon as we could with the weather turning tomorrow.''

How can I find an investor for my business? Will you invest in my business? What can I do to get an investor to invest in my business. These are questions that many Black Owned Business owners are asking. But it seems that many business owners ask these questions prematurely. Business owners must go through the proper preparation before even considering an investor.
1) Know the risks of having an investor.
Some business owners see having an investor as a way to gain capital fast. They don't consider the risks involved.
Inverstors are people who have alot of money that they use to make them more money. They buy shares or part ownership in a business with the hopes of making a profit within. a defined time period. When they make their money, their goal is to sell their shares and move on to another investment. The problem usually comes when the investor doesn't make their money fast enough or they sell. Investors usually have some say so in how the company is run, including the business owners salary. Yes, they can put a cap on the owner's salary. Most importantly, they make decisions regarding the company that the business owner may not always agree with.
2) Have a proper business plan
Investors want to know the ins and outs of your business. They want to know what your expenses are. They want to know what your income is. Most importantly, they want to know what your projected profit is. Do your research? If you are lucky enough to get your business in front of an investor, don't waste their time. Be prepared to answer questions about your business.
3) Know how you will use the investors money.
If you get the chance to meet with an investor, have a detailed plan on how you will use their investment. Be prepared to discuss this with the investor and be open to suggestions.
YOU must invest in your business first. Yes, you should invest time, but don't forget to invest your own money in your business.
There's the saying that it takes money to make money. There are many types of business owners out there. Some ownes start with thousands or millions to invest into their start-up business. Others only have a couple hundred dollars. Amongst both type of business owners, there are those that are successful. For the successful business owners, you will find that they all have something in common. They all invested money into their business.
Investing in your business means that you find a way to fund part of your business expenses, whether the money comes from savings or if you start small and reinvest your business profits. Investors want to know that you believe enough in your business to try to make it successful. Think of it like this, If you won't invest in your business, why should they?
What advice do you have for business owners who want to find investors for their company?

4 Proven Strategies to Invest in Gold
There are many reasons why you might want to invest in gold: as a hedge against inflation, currency risks or simply to diversify your portfolio. Invest in gold without commission with each of these brokers.

We discuss 4 proven strategies to help you invest in gold, and consider their pros and cons:
- Gold CFDs: Contracts for Difference
- Gold ETCs: Exchange Traded Commodities
- Shares in gold mining companies
- Gold bullions: gold bars or coins
1. Gold CFDs: Contracts for Difference
If you only want to profit from changes in the price of gold, without having to worry about storage or insurance considerations, you could invest in Gold CFDs (contracts for difference) with AvaTrade or easyMarkets.
If you expect gold to rise above its current price of US$ 1,000 per ounce (fictional price, for illustration), you could invest US$ 10,000 to buy 10 CFDs. If the price of gold were to rise by $100, you could net a US$ 1,000 profit (excluding any charges your broker may levy).
CFDs are popular with investors like you because they allow you to significantly increase your profit through gearing, also known as leverage. CFDs brokers only require that you invest an initial margin, which can be as low as 1% of the trade's size, because they will lend you the difference. If your initial margin is 1% and you were to invest US$ 10,000, you could buy 1,000 CFDs (instead of 10, without leverage). A US$ 100 rise in the price of gold could deliver a US$ 100,000 profit.
In practice, leverage is a double-edged sword that can increase your gains and losses. If prices move against you, your broker may ask you to make further deposits or close your position altogether. This is why gold CFD brokers that provide negative balance protection are popular with investors.
2. Gold ETCs: Exchange Traded Commodities
You could also speculate on the price of gold without taking physical delivery through Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs). ETCs can track the performance of a single commodity or a commodity index. Gold and precious metal ETCs are often backed by the physical commodity itself, held with a custodian. Because ETCs are listed on exchanges, you can buy and sell them in the same way you invest in shares.
ETFS Physical Gold (PHAU) is a Sharia-compliant ETC that tracks movements in the spot price of gold, less a management fee and any charges your broker may levy. It is backed by physical gold held with HSBC Bank, the custodian. Only metal that meets the London Bullion Market Association's (LBMA) rules for Good Delivery can be accepted by the custodian. Each physical bar is segregated, individually identified and allocated.
You can trade CFDs on this ETC through Plus500. Visit http://www.plus500.com/Instruments/GOLD.AX to find out more.
3. Shares in gold mining companies
Last but not least, you could trade the shares of gold mining companies to get exposure to the price of gold. However, this would not give you as clean a read on the price of gold, as stock prices are driven by many factors above and beyond the price of gold. You should carefully assess the companies you plan to invest in on their own merits. A company's management team, the strength of its balance sheet and operations are some of the factors to consider.
4. Gold bullions: gold bars or coins
If you're new to investing in gold, you're probably familiar with the gold bars (or ingots) held in vaults by central banks. These gold bricks weigh a standard 400 oz (troy-ounce) or 12.4 kg. However, gold bars come in many different sizes and shapes, from just 1 gram to 1 kilogram.
You could also purchase gold coins. Examples include the American Golden Eagle, the Australian Gold Nugget, the British Sovereign, the Canadian Maple Leaf and the South African Krugerrand. Some of these coins, called numismatic coins, are more expensive than other because they have rarity value as collectibles.
Together, gold bars and coins are known as bullions. You can purchase them online from a number of reputable websites. You'll also need to decide whether to keep your gold at home, or store it securely in a bank's safety deposit box for example. You should also consider specialised insurance to protect your investment from loss or theft.

I think by now I already installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 at least 4 or 5 times but today was the first time I encountered this message:
In reality, VS2010 installed successfully though there was some failure installing the Silverlight SDK. I would expect this sort of result to be conveyed differently, hopefully this would change for the RTM version.
Still had a good laugh though.


text: Bandung Tree-lined boulevards and graceful colonial buildings hark back to Bandung's past grandeur as "Parijs van Java"-- the Paris of Java. The city is surrounded by fertile highlands dotted by picturesque tea plantations and fruit orchards which also make excellent vantage points for outdoor sports enthusiasts. Bandung to many, is a shopping paradise filled with factory outlets and affordable designer goods, whilst for the smaller spenders, it's a recreational city filled with dramatic landscapes and palatable offerings. Top 5 Must Do's Shopping Let's not deny that shopping is the main reason why Bandung is crowded all year long! Whatever you're hunting for, you will definitely not run out of areas to shop - Pasa Baru for general fashion items; Jl. Dr. Setiabudi, Jl. Riau (Jl. LLRE Martadinata) and Jl. Dago (Jl. Ir. H. Juanda) for factory outlets; Jl. Trunojoyo and Jl. Sultan Agung for distribution outlets; Jl. Cihampelas for jeans and Jl. Cibaduyut for shoes and leather accessories. Look for affordable finds at Bandung's malls (air-conditioned, mind you) like Cihampelas Walk (CiWalk), Bandung Supermall or Paris Van Java. Angklung Performance The pride and joy of the Sundanese, UNESCO has given the Indonesian Angklung the status of Intangible Cultural Heritage. There are several places where you can watch Angklung performances, Saung Angklung Udjo being the most popular one. Aside from an impromptu Angklung lesson, the daily show presents audience with excerpts from traditional art forms such as wayang golek (wooden puppet show), traditional dances and ceremonies. Mount Tangkuban Parahu, Kawah Putih and Ciater It takes only a couple of short trips from Bandung to discover the secret to West Java's verdant landscape: volcanic activity. Drive to Mount Tangkuban Parahu crater's rim, the only mountain in Indonesia where you can do so. Witness the magical hues of Kawah Putih's crater. A massage session and a dip in the hot spring water at Ciater make a perfect ending for your mountain excursion. Tea Plantations and Strawberry Farms A walk among the tea plantations can prove to be calming and therapeutic, but you can also go for more active pursuits such as biking, horseback riding or even paragliding. Family members young and old will enjoy picking strawberries and eating various strawberry-themed meals at one of the many strawberry farms. Oh, did we mention that the cooling weather is perfect for the plantation walks as well? Colonial Buildings Everywhere you go, you will see the remnants of elegant colonial Dutch buildings from hotels to warehouses, including Bandung's iconic landmark Gedung Sate (the governor's office). Architecture enthusiasts will be happy to know that Bandung has the largest collection of 1920s art deco buildings in the world.

Sheriff: Hospice nurse steals medication from deceased patient
The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office says a hospice nurse stole medication from the home of a deceased patient.
The Sheriff's Office says the family of the patient reported witnessing hospice nurse, 65-year-old William Carl Simm Jr. of Thibodaux, take medication including morphine, oxycodone and hydrocodone.
According to the family, Simm placed the medication in his pocket and left the home with it.
Tuesday, Simm made contact with deputies and agreed to report to the Sheriff's Office for questioning.
The Sheriff's Office says Simm initially denied taking the medication, but he later confessed to taking it and using it for personal use.
Simm was booked on the charge of theft of control dangerous substance II.

How to Dress Your Baby Bump
How to Dress Your Baby Bump
Stylist Estee Stanley, who works with Lea Michele, Jessica Biel and Ashley Olsen, knows a lot about dressing a baby bump-she just had her second child. "It doesn't matter if you decide to wear skin-tight clothes to show off your stomach or hide it with flowy tops," she said. "You should stay true to whatever style you usually wear." Here she gives 5 more tips on how to look stylish during the next nine months.
Stick With What You Like
Just because your body is changing doesn't mean you need to transform your wardrobe. "Look at Gisele amp#91;Bundchenamp#93; when she was pregnant," Stanley said. "She made it look carefree. She wore her normal clothing-she was always in jeans, a motorcycle jacket and boots."

First!! Pretty Good~
vey similar to Pyong yang , north Korean capital, nice and big boulevard, clean streets all for show! They are only fooling themselves lol. I feel sorry for the people!
Gurpreet, why do you feel you have to come here continuosly spouting your venom?
Some of the things you say are correct but you've gone over the deep end with this one.
and i feel sorry for how bitter and spiteful you are, you must have a very miserable life to have so much anger in u, relax, if u were a nicer person you wouldnt be so unhappy
Pretty cool!!! I want to visit Belorussia!!!
Прикольно и в натуре, так чисто! В принципе, таким мог быть СССР, если бы не распался!
The right name is Belarus – not Belorussia.
Belarus and Belorussia are the same name, "smart guy"!
It`s like Moldova and Moldavia, Kirgiziya and Kyrgyzstan!
Do you understand honey?
Ага, если бы не распался, то в лучшем случае был бы таким же, как и до распада – грязным и убогим 🙂
Impressive! Nice one ER.
wow, notice how Belarussia has no ads for coka cola or pepsi or any of those western conglomerants, thats a country I would love to live in.
They have them, also others like Rostika the Russian version of KFC. Beer and Nescafe coffee you see a lot.
Bela-Kola 🙂
yes man you would definitely live in Belarus, nice country with dictatorship and minimum wage of 300 dollars a month, also the price for goods equivalent to Europe and USA.
its good to visit and enjoy its beauty than live in it….
Ummm, hate to break it to you, but take a look at the right bottom corner of picture 19. I do believe that says Coca-cola… I don't see how that's such a horrible thing though, its just soda…regardless, beautiful pictures…
Maybe it's because nobody lives there? 🙂 Ok i kid i kid. It is very nice and clean. Refreshing to see.
you noticed! ! ! !all belarussians are moving to the great homeland Russia as is logical! ! ! !land of milk and honey and freedom and big appartments! ! ! !
are other Nashi members here on ER? !?! !?
LOL.. belarus will not move anywhere! 😀 thay will stay independent state, not puppet of RUSSIA!
Time will decide,dude! ! ! ! ! ! ! !we can`t tolerate our landlocked brothers in economic difficulties.brothers again join one nation.i think nowadays use of "little force" is the best way to high speed "reunification".! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
the last totalitarian state in europe
With clean streets for all to see.
No beggars or junkies.
No invalids. No unemployment.
No queers or lesbians.
No criminality.
Where the hell are the people?!
They're all there, my wife has a friend in Gomel who is gay, beggers and drunks are not seen so much in the main public areas as in the residential areas it seems. Homelessness is not a problem and there are a lot of people who take advantage of the system they don't work ect and have a place to live basics provided for them. Most beggers I have seen hang around the public parks. You will see invalids on the trains, deaf people mostly selling books of word games and old magazines. I always buy a couple from them. I have never seen criminals, I hear their lot is bad. N ot undeserved either IMO.
The last "totalitarian" state in europe?
And so what?
None of the white ruskis I know from there seem to mind. The country is improving.
You have to be seriously cynical to knock what is shown in these pictures.
Strange name "white ruskis". Actually the right way to say is Belarusians. And a direct translation of the name can mislead anyone. It's not Russia, and people are very different from Russians.
The russian and belorussian languages differ but not so much. People in these countries are similar. I've been to Belarus, and everytime i was talking to locals and i could not understand who was before me: russian or belorussian. Maybe it because of that everybody there is speaking russian good.
I just LOVE Russians always shouting that Belorussians, Ukrainians and Russians are the SAME. They just don't get that there is an actual difference even though our nations have the same roots. But we took different ways a long time ago – the thing which you can't understand. You always think that we have the same mentality, the same traditions, even some Russians think that for example Ukrainian language was "invented" after the collapse of the USSR. This is incredible, I heard it myself. Anyway, what I'm trying to say, that Ukrainians are not Russians and we are fed up of hearing that we're your little brothers etc and I hope that Ukraine and Russia will never unite again. We have already 70 years of horrible experience being in the USSR. That' more than enough. But what make's me laugh is when I say that I love my country, Russians tell me that I'm a nationalist, when a Russian says that he loves his country – he's a patriot. Unfortunately (for you), that will never change in your minds.
Well when you get right down to it, Canadians and Americans are pretty much the same, just as Argentinians and Brazilians are similar, the same way Spaniards and Portuguese are the same.
Of course they're not the EXACT SAME people, but they are similar. Belorussians are more similar to Russians than they are Americans or Portuguese, so it's not completely offensive to say that they are the same kind of people, because they are. Not completely, but still very similar in relation to the rest of the world.
There is no need for anger over this subject. Nobody was talking about governments and politics, so there is no need to bring it up to fight over it. Everyone is a patriotic for their own country; this is the internet though, there is no need to bring it up constantly.
Why can't everyone just sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful pictures of Belarus? Why ruin it with arguments…
Well, people from all this countries…I understand that the time under the rule of USSR was traumatic for all of you. But above all, we are all Human beings. The differences that we create, that we invent, is what tear us apart. And Kill. Live apart, but live in peace.
If you don't mind being thrown up in jail for your expressing opinions, you might enjoy it. Come on. Freedom of speech, anyone?
Pic 28 is Goldmember
City of Hero, I saw this slogan in Kiev as well. Is it common for ex-soviet countries' capital?
Man!there is one thing in common between almost all cities of "eastern front" heroic struggle against Nazi advance.i am sure,because of Soviet/Russian sacrifices,this world is saved from Nazi rule.we salute all Hero cities of CCCP.Can U ASS give us any example of his "hero city"?????????????
Yes, and now we are waiting for the Russian forces which are going to liberate the world from the Nashi's.
fail 😀 soviet sacrifices? 😀 LOL
soviets was the same evil as nazi! learn history at last!
Yeah,yeah,yeah…Soviets is orks. They had no culture, history, literacy and social norms. And no woman and childrens. Only evil armed mans. Bomb it all.
No, that's not about being capital. "City-The-Hero" was official award for cities whose citizens demonstrated outstanding mass heroism during WWII. Awarder cities were Moscow, St.Petersburg, Stalingrad, Kiev, Odessa, Sevastopol, Brest Fortress, Novorossijsk, Kerch, Minsk, Tula, Murmansk and Smolensk ( http://maps.google.com/?q=http://googis.info/load/0-0-0-571-20 is aKMZ file for Google Earth that highlight all of them)
The title was awarded to the cities of former USSR subjected to the harshest attacks or those resisting for the longest period of time etc., not automatically to the capitals.
Other examples are e.g. Leningrad or Sevastopol.
People in Belarus enjoy few civil rights, but at least there is one positive aspect of their dictatorship, as can be seen in those pictures.
Dictatorship? Really? 🙂 While Georgia and Saudi Arabia are of course "democratic", as the Telegraph and the Fox news would have you believe? 😉
Totalitarism != Dictatorship , be carefull with words.
In way of the topic , totalitarism is nice.
We love Russian style "democracy" .don`t compare East side of Europe with so called"constitutional monarchies" of some most democratic countries.yes we can learn some principals and the soul of the true peoples desires but not empty words or copying another alien "democratic" traditions! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !.Putin is more democratic leader rather than U ASS`s Bush! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
But that doesn't make him a democrat yet.
I will choose "less evil" .Putin was elected two times president of Russia and "3rd" time PM.one can`t point towards Putin`s believe on "democratic values".we hate "imported" democratic system from "head of evil states" ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !.don`t teach and preach us.
Yes, and you, don't do the same. And learn your constitution, prime ministers are not elected in Russia. And I wouldn't say that Putin is the lesser evil, he is at least twice as corrupt as George Bush, and don't forget he is a former Gestapo – oops, I mean KGB officer, but that is the same anyway.
Yes! ! ! !i do aware of Honorable dear Prime minister`s past "assignment" in former "East GermanCCP".he(Putin)always done his job very well.like in chechen insurgency and he used his best efforts to re structure the almost collapsed and default economy.he is the "hero of Russian nation".election or selection is not the problem of Russian peoples.U ASS always try to stop his challenger from the collapse of CCCP,but time is so changed.but yellow nation will soon able to do some"amazing stunts"in near future.under the guidance of great Russian nation! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !.
Hey Too much vodka, don't forget that Bush=CIA.
And Truman was Ku-Klux-Klan.
Which is no excuse for Putin being a man dangerous to children and other living creatures.
Wait a minute, this is a quotation – I think it originally goes "War is dangerous to children and other living creatures". I wonder where it comes from?
CZenda, Re: Truman. I have never heard that before. But I do know that Truman desegregated the U.S. military in 1948.
There was nothing to choose from so many did not even bother to vote.
And like in soviet times, people were tricked into voting stations with free food and drinks. So it would look like many were voting. Like a democracy.
I was in St. Peterburg last week and it was very clean too…
I hope soon two "very clean" countries will re join hands with again "very clean" constitutional way ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !.RUSSIA and BELARUS! ! ! ! ! ! (i hope FEW more are in the "cleaning processing")! ! ! ! ! ! !
Russia great ? And clean ?
So why do 18 year old boys have to be chased on the streets by army recruiters – well, they do not want to be a part of the 'effective' Russian army, which in reality means digging ditches, building datcha's for their commanders and doing other meaningless things for two years. Firing a gun is hardly practised, as hard to believe as it might be.
In Georgia the officers even had to use their private cell phones to report to the base camps because the communications infrastructure is outdated at least 20 years.
The Russian army is not up to modern warfare and needs enormous financial injections. So save the rhetorics for your next Nashi meeting.
Looks really nice, I would definitely love to visit it!
Looks very similar to Kyiv in 1995.
The total absence of ads makes it look very Soviet. Admittedly, Soviet buildings were dirtier.
Compare and contrast North Korea:
Gods, anything is better than North Korea.
Democracy was killed by politicians. If you want to test a mans character, give him power. You do the math…
God bless Belarusia, Russia and Ukraine!
And "china" ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
God knows they need it
Even the cat is clean.
People from some Balarus villages say that Minsk is a dirty place if compared to the countryside 🙂
That's not a cat. That's the devil. And it's home right where it's supposed to be – in front of the church headquarters.
It looks like Minsk is home to 100 people.
The population is almost 2 million people.
Cool, I'll visit Belarus soon.
Just curious, is it legally punishable in Belarus (or in Russia) if somebody throw a trash on the street (like in Singapore)? Otherwise, this city is unreasonably clean like the capital of North Korea, I guess. However, I would love to visit there! 🙂
Unfortunately, there's no such punish here.
No, it's not punishable. And it is really incorrect to compare Belarus and North Korea. Belarus is certainly an authoritarian state, but not a dictatorship, if you compare it to Zimbabwe, North Korea, Myanmar etc. Just because it is really a European state with long and complicated European history. And people recognize themselves as Europeans, not like in Russia…
It's so clean, it seems a bit creepy.
Very nice. A beautiful city.
После я посмотрел эти картинки я сильно поскучал по моему родному городу! Через пару лет туда поеду, но я не дождусь. Спасибо за фотки!
Beautiful city indeed. Slav style fascinates me in a strange way.
Nice looking city, well maintained. But too empty for a country with a healthy economy, and at least a bit of freedom.
are there black people at all?
Photograph numbering 28, the statue angel… it be concidered good luck to rub his KRUM. All the childrens are taught too do this. See how it shines? 🙂
I rubbed it once and wished for healthier chickens. I am still waiting on wish.
Who's version of history should I learn?
My,my, my, ! ! ! ! ! ! !pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
is there no way to ban this man from the website?
It looks like Sweden. It always shocks me when I go to Sweden and see how insanely clean and well-kempt the cities are.
Amazing! ! ! !.i like and enjoy your sentence about Putin very well,"Putin is the great vacumecleanr".please carry on your "timely"comments! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !.
Are you having an interior monologue ?
City looks nice but boring with no nightlife. When is ER going to post photo of Almaty Kazahkstan?
hehe there is nightlife in Minsk 🙂
Glad to know you all hate each other as much as, if not more, than you hate Texas or "U ASS" as y'all so fondly refer to it.
Question…How can y'all even pretend to know what's going on, in your own countries no less, when you don't even have a free press?.. I'm sincerely curious. Answers or replies anyone?..
quess what, redneck. we all just being honest between ourselfs. and do you have a guts to tell that about you? or instead when you going abroad you just putting mapple leaf on your bag?
I have looked at the script.,
my native city!! lov it!
Long Live Belarus!
that´s because there is no capitalism like in other ex-soviet countries
Heyyy… wait a minute… what's wrong with Bucharest??? It's a great, eclectic city!
Anyways, Minsk is amazing, gotta admit it!
This is beautiful, clean and nice looking city!
czesc jestem Damain i pozdrawiam wszystkich polaków
Awesome!!! So nice and clean, roads much better and more clean than any other post-soviet country..

About half of patients with tumors in the gastrointestinal cavity which includes the liver, pancreas, colon, prostate, etc. are given radiotherapy treatments. This has increased the cancer survival rates in recent years.

After getting the full sized Velvet Lip Glide in Bound, I knew I wanted more and the best way was to to get the coffret set which contains 6 mini Velvet Lip Glides. I did not mind that this set consist mainly of dark shades because I love them although it would have been nice to see a bright plum and pink thrown in for more variety.
I love the Velvet Lip Glide formula. It is not a matte liquid lipstick instead it gives a shine. Although they don't last quite as long, they are very comfortable on the lips and do not dry my lips out.

Now THIS is a BitchFace
I have a Jessica Seinfeld problem. After all, gossip is my life. Jessica Seinfeld is the best gossip. You know how she and Jerry came to be. You know about the book and the clothes and the Oprah shoes and the Hamptons and the money and the Paltrows and the Madonnas...
Jessica Seinfeld SCORED.
And Jessica Seinfeld will cut a motherf-cker without hesitation. You do not want to mess with Jessica Seinfeld, not unless you have a Jay-Z or a George Clooney or a Brad Pitt right beside you.
Jessica and Jerry were at the Mets vs Cubs game today in their suite. THIS is a clinic in BitchFace. Please. See? Few could rival that BitchFace. Maybe only Miss Zahara.
As for Jerry, that Marriage Ref business is being renewed. Because he's bored and it's never enough money and no one is watching Friday Night Lights which RETURNS TO NBC IN MAY!

Event detail
Ugo Rondinone: the world just makes me laugh
Exhibit - Multimedia | June 28 – August 26, 2017 every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
"Ugo Rondinone: the world just makes me laugh" incorporates imagery and themes from popular culture as well as drawing inspiration from historical art movements such as Romanticism and Surrealism. Seemingly lighthearted motifs including rainbows, clowns, and clown shoes take on a melancholy tone in this riveting and psychologically intense installation. Rondinones nuanced use of space, scale, color, and pose contribute to a brooding sense of the sublime. The joy and wonder of childrens drawings of rainbows, for example, are counterbalanced by the formal and emotional weight of the sheer number of images.
Forty-five life-size, highly realistic clown sculptures, from Rondinones installation vocabulary of solitude, form the exhibitions centerpiece. Festively attired, with closed eyes and expressionless faces, these figures suggest at once a sense of euphoria and a state of melancholy. For Rondinone, the clowns collectively represent one person in solitary activity within an enclosed space.
The BAMPFA exhibition also features several related works, including Rondinones sixty-drawing series 1998 diary; four pairs of clown shoes; eight large-scale paintings from the artists sun series; an oversized light bulb sculpted from wax; and thousands of drawings of rainbows made by children from all over the world, including Berkeley.
Organized by BAMPFA Director and Chief Curator Lawrence Rinder.

Tag Archives: psychedelic
The term "psychedelic" is derived from the Greek words ψυχή (psyche, "soul") and δηλοῦν (deloun, "to manifest"), translating to "soul-manifesting". A psychedelic experience is characterized by the striking perception of aspects of one's mind previously unknown, or by the creative exuberance of the mind liberated from its ostensibly ordinary fetters. Psychedelic states are an array of experiences including changes of perception such as hallucinations, synesthesia, altered states of awareness or focused consciousness, variation in thought patterns, trance or hypnotic states, mystical states, and other mind alterations. (Wikipedia)
The use of the keyword "psychedelic" on REDEFINE will encompass psychedelia's role in music, film, art, multimedia, and movement.

Lenders and Realtors are happy about a new law that blocks potentially huge increases in federal flood insurance premiums. But if predictions about sea level rise by the federal government are anywhere near correct, taxpayers will soon be on the hook for a lot more than the current roughly $25 billion shortfall in revenue at the National Flood Insurance Program.
The potential taxpayer liability is impossible to gauge precisely, as it will depend on unpredictable natural events. But according to a study commissioned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, assuming the shoreline remains fixed, "the typical increase in the coastal [flood hazard area] is projected to…be about 55% by the year 2100." As a result, the number of coastal flood insurance policies could increase as much as 130% in this scenario, the study says.
The current exposure is daunting enough. According to a report by Shiva Polefka, a research associate at the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank, $3.5 billion a year (FEMA's number) in NFIP premiums support $527 billion in coastal flood plain liabilities (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration'snumber) and the program has incurred a shortfall estimated at $24 billion to $28 billion.
The lending and real estate industries seem less concerned about the potential taxpayer losses than they are by their clients' potential suffering from increased premiums. The Biggert-Waters Flood Reform Act, passed by Congress in 2012, prompted huge increases in flood insurance premiums to help bring the program out of its current deficit hole. The industry argued this would hurt housing affordability and home values by slowing real estate sales and financing.
The lenders and Realtors have clearly won this round. Last month, President Obama signed a bill which would delay those premium hikes. Even Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., the "Waters" in Biggert-Waters, stumped for relief from provisions in the very law she co-authored that called for the flood insurance program to be actuarially sound (in other words, to raise premiums).
"I am concerned for the hundreds of thousands of middle class families who are struggling to figure out how they will afford flood insurance costs that have increased by, in some cases, tens of thousands of dollars," she said after a House vote blocked consideration of an earlier Senate version of the bill delaying premiums.
She called for a four-year delay in the premium increases and an affordability study to be submitted by FEMA to Congress.
Lender reaction to passage was clear, with American Bankers Association president Frank Keating saying the new law quashed the "unintended consequences" of Biggert-Waters.
National Association of Realtors president Steve Brown applauded the "commonsense solution" in the new law. He said Realtor clients early on reported "the drastic problems they were encountering such as exorbitant rate hikes and wildly inaccurate rate quotes."
Brown congratulated Realtors for bombarding Congress with 300,000 letters and more than 11,000 phone calls to lobby against the rate hikes. The new law would "delay the rate hikes from being implemented immediately," he says. "It also provides tools to address inaccurate premiums and studies the impact on affordability." Jenny Werwa, a spokeswoman for the trade group, supplied Realtor Congressional testimony attesting to premium rises of as high as $28,000.
Polefka has endorsed an idea to mitigate the effects of Mother Nature—one that lenders and Realtors are unlikely to jump up and down about, since it would reduce real estate inventory.
In his report, entitled "Moving Out of Harm's Way," the ocean policy analyst writes that the best option may be "publicly funded buyouts of flood-prone coastal properties, in which the lands are restored to their natural states and then turned over to state ownership." This would help create a buffer zone against future flooding.
Werwa says the Realtors are focused on the new law, though she says "there is money in the law to look at the buyout option." But that, she says, would be a state issue. "It's up to them."
Polefka notes that some states have already implemented buyouts. For instance, in the wake of huge flooding of the Mississippi River in the early 1990s, "Missouri launched a program to buy out 'repetitive-loss' buildings in the river's floodplain—homes in flood-prone areas that had been known to draw repeated flood-insurance payouts. Between 1995 and 2008, FEMA and the state of Missouri invested roughly $75 million to purchase 4,045 repetitive-loss properties across eight eastern counties." A 2009 analysis of subsequent disasters by the state and FEMA found this program had avoided $97 million in losses just on the 885 properties for which adequate data was available and which had buildings on them.
Interestingly, there is some agreement across the aisles of this issue.
Polefka, for instance, is sympathetic to the premium affordability argument. "For lower-income households," he writes, "these new rates may not only be onerous, but they could also affect resale values as potential buyers balk at the increased cost of ownership.
"As Congress re-evaluates [Biggert-Waters] reforms at the behest of constituents facing premium increases, it should focus strictly on alleviating short-run pain among low- and middle-income coastal residents by, for example, lengthening the phase-in period for the higher rates while preserving the substance of the law's vital reforms."
And Polefka's concerns that the NFIP program should be actuarially sound are shared by some in Congress who want to limit taxpayer liability and bigger government, such as House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas.
The country cannot afford to ignore this issue. NOAA has measured rising sea levels of nearly a foot in the past one hundred years at New York's Battery Park, Polefka notes in his report. Visible from where this column is being written, this low-lying area suffered devastating flooding from Hurricane Sandy.

I made a pom-pom garland to decorate Abe's cardboard playhouse, and I love it so much I may start hanging these all over my house!
Pom-poms are easy to make and a great way to use up leftover yarn. They can also be used for really cute cake toppers, holiday or party decor, and even gift wrapping!
I've explained how to make these pom-poms for other projects (and even posted a photo tutorial awhile back), so this time I made a video tutorial in case you'd like to see how it's done.
I used two kinds of acrylic yarn (white & yellow), cotton yarn (teal), wool (gray), and a bamboo/wool blend (green). They all turned out great although the cotton yarn was a little stiffer than the rest.
Have you ever used pom-poms to make something fun? What do you do with leftover yarn?

Pain control and Hypnotherapy
There are many psychological variables that contribute to one's perception of pain and how intensely it affects you. Through hypnosis, you can learn to use your mind's abilities to combat pain, apply effective relaxation techniques that are natural and beneficial to your body and mind.
Please make an appointment to see me, if you would like further information on how Hypnotherapy can help you manage pain.
Check out my Hypnosis audio "relief from pain" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsi3-nmLBoI
Recommended by leading experts:
Dr Lewis Walker, GP (FRCP) says about "Effortless Pain Relief":
"As a GP, I consult increasingly with people who are in chronic pain. Whilst medication can be very helpful it doesn't usually sort the problem by itself. One of the most valuable interventions is to reconnect people with their innate abilities to heal through deep relaxation, meditation and changing thoughts and sensations. What you have here in this audio is a very powerful tool to positively change your experience for the better. It is a skillfully woven tapestry of words and background music which will ease discomfort and improve your health and well-being in many different ways. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to step out of the prison of chronic pain and into the freedom that increasing comfort brings."

Observing the sun directly — even during a partial eclipse — can cause permanent eye damage. Damage to the eyes comes predominantly from invisible infrared wavelengths, so the fact that you feel no discomfort while gazing at a partial eclipse does not guarantee that your eyes are safe. Here are some tips for safe viewing.
Some scare stories make it sound as if you should shut yourself up in the basement during an eclipse. But experts put it this way: Take the same care you usually would whenever you look at the sun. Peek, don't stare. For extended observation of a solar eclipse, use the methods outlined below.
Projection devices
Make a pinhole or small opening in a piece of cardboard or other opaque material. An image of the sun can be projected on a screen placed about three feet behind the opening.
Binoculars or a small telescope mounted on a tripod also can be used to project a magnified image of the sun onto a white card. Never look directly at the sun through the optical device, unless you have attached special filters and are sure of what you're doing. "Sun telescopes" are specially constructed to provide a safe, filtered view of the partial eclipse. There are also special viewers that project an image of the sun onto a screen.
Solar filters
A partial eclipse can be observed through special types of filters or shades that block the sun's harmful rays. Among the alternatives are No. 14 welder's glass and aluminized Mylar plastic manufactured specifically for solar observation. Experienced observers may use two layers of completely exposed and fully developed black-and-white photographic film, provided that the film contains a silver emulsion.
Types of filters that are considered unsafe include general-purpose sunglasses, smoked glass, developed color film and "space blankets."
A taste of totality
The total phase of an eclipse — when the moon's disk completely covers the sun — can be viewed safely with the naked eye, experts say. The faint, delicate wisps of the sun's corona can only be seen from Earth during a total eclipse.
Totality lasts only a few minutes at most, however, so when the sun begins to emerge from behind the moon, you must return to viewing the final partial phase of the eclipse using a safe filter or an indirect method.
Other sources
For more advice on eye safety, and tips for photographing or videotaping an eclipse, check with your local planetarium, astronomy club or photo club. Additional information on all these topics is available from NASA astronomer Fred Espenak's Eclipse home page.
