LONDON (Reuters) - The FTSE 100, which had raced to its highest level in nearly 13 years this week, fell sharply for the second straight session on Friday as a decline at major bank HSBC hit the market.
Some traders felt the pull-back could accelerate in June although many still believed the stock market's longer-term rising trend remained intact and that the market would end 2013 higher than where it was at the end of 2012.
The blue-chip FTSE 100 fell by 0.6 percent, or 42.45 points, to 6,654.34 points, following on from a 2.1 percent decline on Thursday which was its steepest one-day drop in a year.
The effects of the 2008 financial crisis have led central banks to inject liquidity into markets and cut interest rates in order to drive an economic recovery.
Those measures have also hit returns on bonds and driven investors to seek better returns from equities, and this in turn has helped spur a world stock market rally.
The FTSE hit near 13-year highs this week but that rally stalled on Thursday over concerns that the U.S. may soon scale back a stimulus measure known as quantitative easing (QE) due to increasing signs of a recovery in the U.S. economy.
"Investors are now worried about the end of QE, and no-one wants to be left without a chair when the music stops," said IG chief market strategist David Jones.
HSBC fell 2.1 percent to take the most points off the FTSE 100 index, on concerns that HSBC's $1.9 billion settlement with U.S. authorities over money laundering charges may have stalled.
A spokesman for the bank said it was "focused on taking all necessary steps to fulfil its obligations under the agreements with the U.S. and UK governments".
The FTSE 100 remains up by 13 percent since the start of 2013 and many investors expect any pull-back to be temporary.
"I think it's just a short blip," said MB Capital trading director Marcus Bullus, who expected the FTSE to resume its upwards trend soon and to test its record closing high of around 6,930 points.
However, others added they would wait for further falls before buying back into the market.
"I would not buy at these levels. I would want to see a real correction, at least down by another 10 percent or so from the highs," said EGR Broking managing director Kyri Kangellaris.

This is a very easy project from Jacquard Products with dramatic results and you probably have some stamps already.

SPEAK OUT: Did the 'Skins Give up Too Much to Move Up?
Tell Us: Should the 'Skins draft a franchise quarterback or fill another need?
The NFL Draft has finally arrived and the Washington Redskins are sitting in the No. 2 spot in the first round. ESPN projects the 'Skins will select Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin, III. If RG3 comes to Washington, it will be the first time the Redskins have drafted a quarterback in the first round since Jason Campbell in 2005. Griffin threw for more than 4,000 yards and rushed for almost 700-yards last season while reaching the end zone 47 times. The last time the Redskins drafted a Heisman Trophy winner was 20-years ago when Desmond Howard joined the team, according to the Washington Times. But to move up in the 2012 NFL Draft, the 'Skins gave up a king's ransom. To move into the St. Louis Rams' spot, the Washington Times reported …

International Circus Festival in Budapest
Among the memories and images of sad things, the remains of abandoned travelling circuses shine with their own dimmed light in cities. On these┬Āephemeral ruins made of materials that are rarely used, you can perceive a pure idea of death in perpetual tension with the kingdom of possibilities, dreams and magic. There┤s something pure in them that goes further than all measures and purity itself, something similar perhaps to the essential strain that┤s produced by everything traditional in music and art, a strange feeling of presence outside time itself, revealed through that infinite space of what┤s absent, oppressed and forgotten.
In some way, the circus rhymes secretly and intimately with the winter heart, in the same way that Central Europe does, the heart thrown to the fire of the ruins of the old and evocative Danubian civilization. According to a certain zen Buddhist aspect of sensitive gnostic echoes, in winter┤s nature there┤s an invitation to take the walk of life to something deep, mysterious and dark that can become terrifying but whose galleries are paradoxically lit, creating new senses like only an oxymoron can, with vibrant and flashing sparks that produce a feeling of delight, enjoyment and pleasure which largely result as unkown, despite having them inside us all the time and in which the intrinsic nature of the true awakening of real life resides in.
A similar feeling might have accompanied the incessant circular movement of the circus for thousands of years all over different continents, although the answer to which side of the eye of its evocative and symbolic tents we can find that other brilliant and terrifying life to which we seem to have access during the show, has never been revealed.
Under the direction of the acclaimed Istvan Kristof, the city of Budapest – a fascinating place of cross culture, people and time that seems to be permanently suspended in time, like the circus itself, in ┬Āa unique high-risk funambulist act of great beauty among different┬Āsomnambulist realities- celebrates its 9th International Circus Festival from the 2nd to the 6th of February of 2012 (http://www.fnc.hu/festival/en/).
During four days, the attendants will have the chance to see a selection of the best circus acts of today, together with a large number of emerging talents who come from over twenty countries, from Hungary to Canada, from Sweden to Cuba, from Italy to Armenia, from Russia to Colombia, from France to Ukraine.
Its international character, together with its nomadism, is probably one of the most distinctive features of the circus, an artistic entertainment show in more than one way, connected with performance, whose historical background can be traced both in the Far East as in the first near-Oriental societies.
If you rent apartments in Budapest around those dates and you┤re interested in the world of the circus, don┤t miss this extraordinary festival that only takes place every two years and has usually become a way of discovering and launching sparkling and dark winter stars.

Been a while..., New clan - with mapping, as well as other stuff
Topic Locked
Topic Locked
Hey everyone. Not sure who will remember me, or even know me. I was in contact with SOLAR not long ago and almost took over Oo (until sc2 comes out that is). However I decided that wasn't the greatest idea. I have made a new clan now, with a very unique system. The short story is that it is a clan for d2, sc/bw, and wc3. Also, with the division system in place, anyone can start their own group dedicated to what ever. In short, we play everything for ever game. Right now the sc/bw is the largest branch, and has 3 divsions (soon to be 4) the largest is the competitive melee division, but I am the master of the mapping divsion, which is lacking members for the time being.
Our website is skyfall.co.nr and we are in channel Clan sF on USEast. If you're looking for a new clan, or even if you just want to game with someone we're always open. We have a website, obviously, clan channel, 24/7 ops, Teamspeak, forums, etc. If you don't want to join that's cool you can hang out, however I suggest you read up on our system as it has a lot of benefits most clans don't. Hope to see you guys soon! |
right I didn't mean take over. I talked to SOLAR today, mentioned this post and he didn't seem to mind, inbetween his rants lol. When I spoke to him about recreating Oo he said I could take care of Oo (the channel) until sc2 when he creates it then.
My aim for posting here is that any mappers, who want a clan still will join skyfall. I really don't see any mapping clans (channel wise) left, then again not many clans are left period. Good to see you guys. Just for the hell of asking, I know some people prefer vent, anyone have the software for the vent server that supports more than 8 connections? |

by Preparation_H
non private hospitals have to treat you preparation, if you are unable to get medicaid or sometimes the hospitals have a plan, otherwise , or do whatever you needed to pay the bill. non insurance does not necessarily mean non treatment, maybe just not the best treatment. the money that would be saved if people would stop smoking would more that pay for all americans to have health insurance. money saved on healh related problems from smoking I mean. It seems a lot of people get such a case of resentment that they may have to pay (sic) for someone else's care that they go ballistic on this topic. All due to successful spin; they don't bitch about life insurance, which is just spreading out costs over a general population. Conditioning, over generations. Lawyers are the main reason health care in the United States is so expensive. There have been so many ridiculously unfounded lawsuits against the medical profession that the prices end up skyrocketing to cover the cost of malpractice insurance. Anyone who thinks that socialized government health care is the answer, take a long look at the Canadian govt. health care, and you'll see it doesn't work all that well. Prep, we have basic health coverage for the poor here, just like we give food-stamps, welfare checks, etc. to the poor. It may not be of the best quality, but it's far better than nothing. To close, I agree with the Japster. Yes, as usual, it's the middle class that bears the brunt. My husband and I have catastrophic health coverage with a HIGH deductible, which costs us approximately 6K a year (at this moment in time - it goes up every couple of months). This does not cover basic things like check-ups and there is no coverage for medications. Without the Internet I would not be able to afford a couple of very important, if not lifesaving, drugs I am on. We basically pay that 6K for a sense of 'security' in case of a horrible accident or disease...which the insurance companies have been known to refuse to pay for anyway. I would venture to say that lawyers are not the only reason for the high cost of health care in the U.S. I would put just as much blame at the door of insurance and pharmaceutical companies. I am acquainted with a couple of MDs and they feel *much* more hostility towards the insurance industry (HMOs, etc.) than lawyers. The insurance industry has been basically dictating how MDs can treat their patients for some time. When bureaucrats take over something like medical care, there is something in the system that needs fixing. I agree, Cathexis. You just can't put a price tag on death and human suffering. I'm sure those people who can afford it would change their tune if they became impoverished and needed health care. That expression "money is the root of all evil" is no more apparent than in a capitalist society who would rather destroy the environment (which we all happen to live in), to create jobs. How short-sighted. People may have a hard time doing their jobs if they can't breathe. I'm sorry, I should have added in insurace companies also. Second to lawyers in my opinion, are the insurance companies. They are allowed to legally gamble with our lives, putting profit ahead of good health and affordable care. My freaking deductible is 1000 dollars, that's just insanity. What jappy said Socialism would just give us lower quality care for a higher price. Have you ever lived in a country with any form of socialized medicine? I have, and the healthcare is of equal, if not in some cases, higher quality. As for costing more, I would prefer to pay 6K/yr more in taxes and know that I was covered for emergencies and medicine, than be in my current situation. Right now, I am thinking of dropping my coverage altogether because of the rising, costs. That will leave me with NO health care - of *any* quality. Have you, or a loved one, ever been turned away from an emergency ward because you had no insurance? That has happened to a couple of people I know who are NOT "deadbeats". No one should have to experience that; that shouldn't be happening in a compassionate country - whether conservative or liberal. I am not a proponent of socialism. I just think that catastrophic health coverage should be a right, not a privilege for those who can afford it. (Note - Medicaid DOES NOT provide coverage for people who make above poverty-level wages.) Those numbers are misleading. If at any point in the year you are without health care you are counted as being without for the entire year. So if you are fired on tuesday, are without healthcare on wednsday, then get a new job with health coverage on thursday you are counted the same as someone who goes without the whole year. Sounds dumb doesn't it? It also doesn't take into account how many of those are illegal immigrants, who wouldn't benefit from a national health care system anyway, and how many choose to do without even though they could afford it. But let's not look at those facts, 45 million is a big scary number, repeat it enough and it's bound to drum up a few extra votes. Herzog: have you ever been self-employed? Ever had a chronic health problem? Yup, it's pretty darn scary. Never mind. I sure wish I hadn't posted this ballot. It's depressing as sh*t. Over and out. mojo I think herzog point was that maybe the numbers after taking in other fators are not 45 million, I'm sure for many people like yourself the cost of insurance coverage is outragous, but I also don't necessarily socialized health plan is the way to go either. I've been in this spot for close to five years myself now, and it's the one driving issue of this entire election for me. Bush's grand plan, placed before us like a sundry confection meant to leave us enraptured, leaves me instead enraged. The man has NO CONCERN for the masses beyond their vote on November 2 and, to anyone who thinks otherwise, I make you a sale offer of PRIME oceanfront property in South Dakota... another reason why america just sucks its great in england! i can quit a job get my teeth done my eyes checked my hearing checked! then i can get a full medical all for free then go back to work! perfect! i dont care what this costs the conservative rich i think its perfect! I pay my taxes in the mean time! and i know if im ever ill i`ll be looked after! true there are areas of britain where this isnt always the case but i dont live in one! long live the NHS! and even if you go private (which i have in the past) its still cheaper than in the states! Being English you would probably have to, wouldn't you Mobsie666? Interesting about Bush is the $139 billion he wants the American taxpayer to caugh up because of safety issues (what a laugh) regarding Canadian medicine. It is the nice thing about free market economy and small Government If it costs the "free market" money to have competition, which it does in some of the better capitalist models , they all of a sudden need "protection" Oh, I mean: you have to be protected from security issues. And small Government does not actually mean small. It means: less to no interference with corporate America. Large companies and branches of industry have "Internal guide lines" and "Codes of Conduct" whereas the population has a police force and judicial system breathing down their neck where they to "stray". Insurrance companies say that premiums have gone through the roof (they would actually say: significant increase necessitated by market realities) because of ridiculous claims and claims alone whereas the larger of truths is that they lost a bundle of cash on the stockmarkets, and now we have to pay for it. Etc. etc. erm ____Merovingian____ what is your problem! what would i have to do? I may have to ignore you because your only 12! are theyre any nannies around to give this child a hug?? oh no its coz you need to pay for them dont you and you dont earn yet! ahh well kid ur on your own im afraid! You can almost hear the right wing saying 'Are there no workhouses , are there no prisons?' Some people really have NO shame, and would defend the indefensible, just because it goes against the grain of their dogma.

jappy: That is just not true; it is the Official Sound Byte of the GOP this year. Litigation is not only NOT the leading cause of teh rise in healthcare costs, it amounts to a mere fraction of the costs. In other words, it is a red herring. The problem with falsely positioning this as THE major cause is that: 1: Addressing this will NOT resolve the problem. 2: While focusing on this, no one is addressing the REAL issues. herzog: You conveniently quibble about specific numbers, which allows you to evade even acknowledging there is a problem. No more weaseling; let me pose this directly: Do you believe their is NO problem with the number of uninsured in the U.S.? Yes or No, without attempts to sidetrack, please. There is a problem, but not one that should be addressed with another federal program. mobsie He's a lot smarter than you at less than 1/3 your age. Medical care is a problem in this country but it is no worse than what socialist economies have and it cannot be solved by more government programs. Deregulation and decartelization would go a long way but people getting their fat asses on a treadmill and eating healthy would probably do the most. Herzog: how do you propose it be addressed? Philanthropy? LOl Mrtroche Yes, there are existing problems with the current healthcare system in America. I believe that the 45mil number is exaggerated or biased towards a certain agenda. Even so, there are many out there that cannot afford certain medical procedures or costs, but instituting any sort of all encompassing government healthcare is not the answer. I am strongly against this, because it has dire consequences on the overall quality of care that people recieve. You can argue this point all you want. Sure your can get you meds and have your eyes examined with social medicine, but don't expect to get treated well if you ever get a serious lifethreatening desease such as cancer or heart trouble. BASIC healthcare should be available to all, but as for the rest, it should be up to the individual to make the choice. One factor that is consistently overlooked by the Right is the effect such failings have on our society. Without healthcare, more households face decisions between bankrptcy and significantly shortened lives or qualities of life. The healthy population becomes forced to rub shoulders with those who have now become The Great Unwashed Masses. They tend to try and isolate themselves, further exacerbating problems such as urban blight. And people who are kept from access to such necessities are rarely happy or satisfied. And unhappy, dissatisfied people are not good members of society. I suggest that many social ills (crime, violence, drugs, etc.) are increased due to this kind of thing. toady: I have to say, I don't see merit in your fears. People with money will *always* be able access superior care. What we are talking here is the basics for a decent life. Your fear that somehow no one in the country will be able to get good care has no basis in reality. I must ask all those who generalize about countries with any kind of social healthcare: How much do you know about it? Have you ever lived in one of those countries? What qualifies you to dismiss it out of hand? And importantly, have you ever been UNINSURED? I have an 8 year old daughter who is on medication and without the medication she could get pretty sick well the insurance company decided that it was ok if they cancelled it! Now I have to pay for her meds! It's not cheap! I agree that we have a problem here but I also think that although you may have free health care in other countries you don't have the same choices as we do here! When I had my insurance for her everything was free! I don't think it should be easier for a smoker they are killing themselves why would they need insurance?? And they can not deny you treatment at the ER here in the US even if you don't have insurance! You just get a huge bill later and that really sucks. Kisty That healthcare isn't "free". Just think about how much extra they pay in taxes throughout the course of their lives. Mojo: my solution: sometimes the solution to a problem is worse than the problem it is addressing. This is one of those cases. We can have crappy service for some and excellent service for most, or crappy service for everyone. I think we should have healthcare for children regardless. We need to do something about run away costs of lawsuits, and actually rounding up illegal immigrants would help (as they are the worst abusers of 'free' emergency care) either that or treat them then send to the bill to their home country. Let people order medications from anywhere in the world, so long as they understand these aren't necessarily regulated. Other than that we should leave it be, it's not perfect but it is superior to everyone else. I pay for the health care! I work for the state here and have my own healthcare she was on another insurance plan but I paid for it! Her med was free and mine was only two dollars with my advance pc. Atleast we know our tax money is going for something good! In the UK we have a Health Service that is free to all regardless of ability to pay. Herzog argues that free universal healthcare would somehow lessen the effectiveness of the care. Poppycock. Here in the UK we have PRIVATE medicine and health insurance. So we have the best of both worlds. No government in the UK could get elected if it was proposed that the NHS (National Health System) was scrapped. 90% of the population are happy to have a proportion of their taxes used to pay for it. In a nutshell, Mojo and Kisty would not have to juggle their lives to choose what to spend money on, the burden would be lifted and they could spend the money saved on other things. Im not sure what the ethics in the US are, but most of the doctors and nurses in the UK, do the job as much as a vocation as any financial reward they may recieve. The vast majority of the doctors and nurses are in favour of the NHS and remain in it all their working lives, because they believe in it. A quick point on the smokers point, in the UK almosy 70% ofthe price of a packet of cigarettes is tax, so it would be a bit disingenuous to refuse them treatment given the amount of indirect tax they pay. When it comes down to it, the only people truly opposed to socialised medicine, are the better off, it galls them that people should (as their narrow view percieves it) get something for nothing.

I heard someone screaming about how Bush doesn't care about the common man in this election? *LOL* does kerry have you duped into believing he cares?? That comment about 300,000 dollars a year or more the other night in the debate really showed his true colors, just assuming no one in the audience made that much money a year. And another funny thing I just saw, was there a british person actually claiming they get DENTAL care??? now come on, that is NOT true, not in England, there are no dentists hehehehe Maybe I should move to the UK hehe. Steelhamster There you go calling your healthcare "free", and proving yourself wrong in the same comment. You pay for the NHS through taxes and those extra taxes are probably much more than what you would pay here for better care. Steelhamster, do you pay the equivalent of $6K/year in taxes JUST for catastrophic health care (no meds or maintenance)? MrTroche seems to think you pay more. I'm interested to find out. Thanx. He wouldn't pay $6,000 here. Employees on single coverage plans pay an average of ~$600/yr here. Family coverage is ~$3000 but then you have to calculate how much each person in his family pays in NHS taxes. herz: The assertion that other countries' healthcare sucks is just plain wrong. How long are you going to keep buying into that? You don't *need* an MRI for an infection or a broken leg. At this level, healthcare is healthcare. triche: Like so many other things, it is an investment. Sometimes, you have to invest in the Society which makes your lifestyle possible. If you don't wnat to be taxed, find an island somewhere where you won't have any society to 'support.' Of course, that Society won't be there to provide a structure to earn a living, either ... will it. 'Scuse me, Mr. Troche, but did you read my comments? My husband and I have shopped around extensively, and 3K/per person is the BEST deal we can get anywhere. We are neither old, feeble, nor chronically ill either. By the way, if you can steer me to a plan where I can pay only $600/year for catastrophic, please do tell. Thank you. mojo If you look up the statistics, those are them. Remeber that data is for employer sponsored care. After I finish grad school I plan on paying for a health plan until I have saved a sizeable amount of money, at which point I will pay for my own regular appointments and have savings for an emergency or surgery. However, my best insurance policy is frequent exercise and a healthy diet, any international comparison of healthcare costs is incomplete without considering the lifestyles and diets of the nations under examinition. The quality of care is only the tip of the iceberg. Cathexis I know all about investments, after examining the options, a deregulated, decartelized and lightly subsidized healthcare system is a better investment than a socialized one. Unfortunately, our system is neither and is heading towards a situation even worse than what they have in Europe. I do not believe Bush or the greedy lawyers of the Kerry team care to fix this problem. As ive said all along mrtroche doen`t live in the real world! he`s stuck in this republican dream where everyone is rich and noone suffers! and america is the greatest nation in the world and noone can say otherwise! If you were a human being mrtroche you wouldnt mind paying out taxes from you highly paid job (that you aint got yet) for the worse off! But i think you are far too selfish for that! and if what you say about usa and medicine being soooo much better how come the uk and ireland have a longer life expectency? or are you just going to make something up as usual Mojo: The health system does not discriminate on how 'healthy' one is, so if for example you were a diabetic, epileptic, one legged bi polar patient, you would recieve the same equal treatmeat as anyone. Some people on this site are down on socialised medicine for no other reason than it is socialised medicine. Its like the Jehovah Witness who will refuse a blood transfusion, just because it doesnt gel with their political dogma. Basically, its cutting off their nose tospite their face. If you were over here in the UK as a tourist and had an accident, you would be treated just as well as a UK citizen and not be presented with a bill. It was stated we pay X amount in tax so we pay for it anyway, yes thatis the case, but every nation pays taxes, would you as a citizen prefer a decent health system for all or a few more intercontinental missiles? I would hazard to guess that an overwhelming majority would favour a health system.
by Steelhamster
sorry steelhamster but i think jehovas witlesses refusing blood transfusions is a good thing! troche: 1. Better? It depends on the criteria. Better for the national population as a whole? I don't see how you can make that assertion. 2: Limiting yourself to employer-provided healthcare is convenient. Unfortunately, it doesn't address all of the people who do not get such a benefit, including small businesses, self-employed, under-employed, part-time, seasonal, and unemployed. Below a certain wage level, there are no benefits, either. So by limiting the discussion to a subset of the population, you are evading the issue. 3: More employers are dropping healthcare and/or increasing employee costs. 4: How can you justify putting the healthcare onus on Business?!? Isn't that a drag on the economy?!? SH: You are correct, when a large number of Americans here Socialized, their ears slam shut and additional discussion becomes mere noise to them. mobsie Brits have a longer life expectancy because of a better diet and a different racial composition. There you go with your crap again. I've gone from the housing projects of the South Bronx to the upper-middle class suburbs of Florida. I've had a very dramatic life for my 20 years on this Earth. I do not feel sorry for most people living in poverty because I've been there and I know most of those people would be better off if they weren't so lazy. Cathexis 1. Yes, the average American can get better care than the average Brit when price is taken into consideration. 2. That's the figure I found. It's also best to compare employed Americans to employed Britons, who of course are the only ones paying NHS taxes. 3. That's true but socialism is not the answer. We need reform. 4. I don't know about all businesses but scientific firms provide excellent health benefits because it's better to pay that money and keep employees healthy than to lose productivity when those employees become sick. I'm sure they do a cost analysis on this. It is the supreme virtue and it is the reason we're better off than you. If a socialized healthcare system was more efficient I would support it but it is inferior to our current system and the system we should have. Socialism violates human rights by design. That system is clearly immoral; it leads to less well-being than you would find in a true Capitalist society. Individualism means looking out for your own best interests even if that means helping someone else. We seek to have less government and more freedom. Hobbes was wrong, Locke was right. Hobbes was right. CALVIN was wrong. Troche: I have to disagree. The *average* trip to see a doctor does not *require* anything exceptionally fancy! Antibiotics are antibiotics. Guess what ... Europe knows of these wonders and utilizes them! Splints are splints, X-rays are x-rays. Wonder of wonders ... Europe knows of such Advanced Science. Not everyone suffers from advanced mesolthelioma and doesn't *require* the so-called advanced care. And ya know ... Europe does pretty well in this respect to, I am told. You are operating under a stereotype. Troche: It is a better investment ... for those who capilalize it and want to see a profit. It is *not* a better investment, societally. Troche: Sometimes, ones best interests are met through Cooperation with others. You fail to see the forest as you try to grub for your individual tree. Mrtroche this is a site for people to socialise on! why dont you take your individualism and do what you do best! Sit on your own and talk to nobody! Better still why dont you start a mrtroche site where you can sit and agree with yourself! I pay taxes gladly. Americans find it difficult to understand, but we live for eachother not for ourselves. Americans have evil individualism stuck in their mind. Individualism is NOT a virtue. by EUROTOPIA on Oct 14, 2004 Eurotopia: Why don't you shut the f**k up! What is your damn problem with Americans. I am so tired of cranky, bitter, ignorant idiots like you. You are so damn angry at something. Get a life. You are condescending, arrogant, rude, spiteful, and egotistical beyond belief. People like YOU are what is wrong in the world And I read your whole "all men are brothers" line...you lying hypocrit! Hide behind this whole "love everyone" stuff and then slam Americans when ever you can..yeah, real nice! And you know what, I bet you do it to everyone else too. What ever nationality you are, I bet you slam everyone else when ever you can...maybe not on this site, but I'm sure you do...people like you always do. You wanna calm down patch! that was aimed mainly at troche and his "we`re so much better than you are" bullshit! Troch the guy who creates another persona to help him win a ballot and when he`s found out still denies it! Although he did admit to having 2 but couldn`t remember a password? Now how smart is that! But even so his attitude does make it appear that americans are rude selfish and arrogant and people like you have to cope with the flak he creates! I'm sorry Mobsie666, but this is something I feel very passionate about. So many of Eurotopia's postings is anti-American to the extreme. I just can't understand people like her because she is so hypocritical. It's very hurtful to constantly read stuff like that...especially when it never stops...she needs to be more fair minded. I wend off on her in quite a few posts, so sorry, but on this one, I feel very strongly (and come on...you are just as passionate as me at times :) Cathexis very funny Some would argue that what we define as altruism can really be considered individualism. When we help others, we are often improving society and making things better for ourselves. If I donate money to help troubled teens become productive citizens instead of criminals, I am helping myself and my children in the future by keeping that person from destroying a value greater than the one I gave him. I am agnostic on this issue but it makes intuitive sense. mobsie Lay off the phallus, evidently it is killing brain cells. patch Calm down dude, smoke a fatty and take a deep breath. I disagree with EURO too but at least she is civil in her arguments. mobsie is like a rabid chimp. Mr. Troche: I wish I could calm down..well actually, I am calm. I get upset when someone like Eurotopia just goes on and on with her anti-Americanism. I have to grow up in this world and it's just absurd the things she writes. Not only was their a candle light vigil in NYC for the victims of the Madrid train bombings, but my school sent a condolence card. For her to claim that we "kicked Spain when they were down" was lunacy. As for Mobsie, he is one of my favorite people on this site...he and I got into it recently and then I realized that he is just very passionate and he at least has a consistent philosophy...Eurotopia just seems to be hypocritical. She's entitled to her opinions, but I just wish they were less harsh. Troche: OK, now that I could see. your a boring little man troche you really do think that you bother me with your snidy little comments! I know you dont deal with what i say because its the truth but you try and make it less than it is! are you sure your not Winston Smith. You dont live in a democracy troche you live in a mediocracy. where a media that is supposed to check political abuse is actually part of the political abuse! blah, blah, blah |

text: 2006 - A Vacheron Constantin timepiece to the wrist of Colin Farell in 'Miami Vice'In Universal Pictures feature film release, Miami Vice, in theaters July 28th, the character of Sonny Crockett is a man known for his good looks, sharp wit and ubiquitous high style. For a character that single handedly defined the style of the 1980's, it is only fitting that Crockett-- a smooth, cool undercover agent - sport a timepiece from the world's most exclusive watchmaker Vacheron Constantin. Over the past 250 years, the Swiss manufacture has become known for creating exceptional watches that meld the distinctly different arts of aesthetics and Haute Horlogerie. Filmed on location in Miami, Paraguay, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic, Vacheron Constantin's Malte Chronograph with Perpetual Calendar is the only watch the character of Crockett wears in the movie. This pure platinum chronograph is designed to measure then record and display spans of time ranging from a split second to many hours - a function only a handful of watchmakers can produce. The Malte also features a perpetual calendar that displays the day of the week, the date, the month, the full leap-year cycle with automatic adjustments for months of 28, 29, 30 and 31 days, as well as the phases of the moon. An open back reveals the renowned hand craftsmanship of a Vacheron Constantin movement. Ricardo Tubbs is played by Jamie Foxx (Ray, Jarhead). Sonny Crockett is played by Colin Farrell (S.W.A.T., The New World). |

On Monday, the City Council will vote on whether to override the mayor's veto on a prevailing wage bill they passed last month.
The bill requires that companies getting a million dollars or more in city subsidies pay their workers at least $10 an hour.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has said she has enough votes to override the Mayor's veto.
The mayor says the bill is a job killer.
If Bloomberg's veto is overridden, the mayor is promising a court challenge.

Fitness: Getting and Staying Active
Why Should You Be More Active?
No matter what your size or shape, being active:
- Makes you feel better.
- Helps you fall asleep and sleep well.
- Gives you more energy.
- Helps you think better and faster.
- Helps you handle stress.
- Makes you healthier.
- Helps you live longer.
Fitness benefits everyone. Learn about fitness in Reference children and teens, Reference in older adults, and Reference during pregnancy.
Your health will thank you
The more active you are, the better your heart works. You're less likely to get many of the diseases that can shorten your life, including:
- Coronary artery disease.
- High blood pressure.
- Type 2 diabetes.
- Some cancers.
If you already have any of these problems, staying active may help you to have better control over them, feel better, and live longer.
Your body will thank you
Being fit includes keeping your muscles, bones, and joints as active and healthy as possible. You can:
- Reference Make your muscles stronger. Lifting weights—even small ones—is a good way to do this. Weights also increase Reference bone density Opens New Window, which is especially important for older adults.Reference 1
- Stay flexible and coordinated. Reference Stretching Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window will help you do this. As you become more flexible, you will find it easier to reach things on high shelves, look under a bed, or perhaps tie your shoes. You will also have a better sense of balance and coordination.
Your bathroom scale will thank you
Being more active burns calories. That can help you get to and stay at a healthy weight. Getting regular exercise:
- Helps your body burn more calories even when you're resting.
- May lower your Reference percentage of body fat and increase muscle strength and tone.
To find out how many calories you burn during different activities, use this Reference Interactive Tool: How Many Calories Did You Burn? Reference

Comments about SMARTWOOL Between Drops Socks:
These are beautiful socks that are great to wear with boots. I ordered women's medium, as I always do, but these were really tight, and difficult to get on. I am 5'7", and 128 lbs, so it's not like I have huge thighs. Once on, I did wear them all day and they were acceptably comfortable.

easyJet: Copenhagen to London
- Depart: Copenhagen, Denmark - Copenhagen Apt (CPH)
- Arrive: London, United Kingdom - Stansted (STN)
- Website: easyjet.com
About this flight
The carrier: easyJet
EasyJet is Europe's second-largest low-cost carrier, after Ryanair. It's also one of the oldest in Europe; its first flights took off in late 1995, and it pioneered the online purchase model. EasyJet is based at Hangar 89, which is an orange building adjacent to the main taxiway at Luton Airport.
The easyJet route map is not as wide-ranging as Ryanair's, although the airline tends to fly to primary airports over out-of-the-way secondary airports. Fares are also higher than Ryanair's, though the easyJet flying experience tends to receive fewer complaints.
One place where easyJet does not get high marks is in the telephone customer service department. We've read stories of hundreds of faxes remaining unreturned and hours-long waits on toll telephone lines with high per-minute charges.
Among the airline's more notable destinations are Bucharest, Geneva, Istanbul, Madeira, Sofia, Split and Tallinn.
Great connections across Europe without the lowest-common-denominator panic.
Notoriously bad customer service.
*Carry-on: One piece of hand luggage.
*Checked: €12 per bag (per flight), combined weight not to exceed 20 kg. Over 20 kg, €12 per kg.
* Please visit EasyJet's website for more information on its baggage policy.
Strict pre-boarding policy. Check-in no later than 40 minutes prior to departure. Boarding is on a first-come first-serve basis and can be a nightmare if you don't arrive early. EasyJet never allows stand-bys.
Check-in and Ticketing
Online check-in is available from 60 days before your flight until two hours prior to the scheduled departure time. Passengers with hold-luggage are allowed to do this as well. The boarding gate closes 25 minutes prior to the scheduled time of departure. If your flight leaves London Gatwick before 08.30 you can check in for this flight the night before from 20:00. This will give you the opportunity to leave your baggage at the airport. You will be issued with a boarding pass so you can go straight to security for your flight the following morning.
Check in online so that you're automatically entered into the "A" group for boarding, meaning you'll hop on—and off—first. Be careful with personal property as there is little or no compensation for damages or losses.
Fun Fact
EasyJet offers the possibility to carbon offset the CO2 to their customers' trips for a surcharge via a calculator which calculates a passenger's carbon footprint.

Huskers close season on sour note
For three quarters Nebraska went toe to toe with a Georgia squad that came up five yards short of taking on Notre Dame in the National Championship.
However, in the end, the Husker defense couldn't find a way to slow down Aaron Murray and the Georgia offense falling 45 to 31 and losing the Capital One Bowl for the second straight year. After the game it was a surprisingly chipper Bo Pelini who pointed to a pair of moments that shifted the momentum. View the video for the full feature. |

Approach to climate 'can be better'
00:25, Mar 22 2013
The Scottish Government has been urged by four parliamentary committees to improve its approach to climate change targets.
MSPs delivered their judgments on the same day, welcoming ministers' ambition but urging them to look again at key areas.
Without further effort, the Government risks missing some annual targets and should promote a "step-change" in the public's attitude to climate change, the reports warn.
Details are lacking and communities must be made to feel part of the solution, ministers were told. It was revealed last October that carbon emissions targets for 2010 were not reached. This was attributed to more demand for energy for heating because of bad weather.
Environment Minister Paul Wheelhouse explained in January that new measures will compensate for the missed target, as he outlined the Report on Proposals and Policies (RPP2), which is aimed at meeting climate change ambitions up to 2027.
Story continues
In the first of the four Holyrood reports, Rob Gibson, convener of the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee, said: "The committee is concerned that, going forward, some of the annual targets set out in the draft RPP2 report will be missed unless all policies and proposals are implemented."
Maureen Watt, convener of the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Committee, said: "The transformational change needed to meet these challenging targets in relation to housing and transport not only requires the Scottish Government to have an ambitious approach but society as a whole."
Murdo Fraser, convener of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee, said: "It's clear that the principle behind this report is welcome. However, the committee heard a number of concerns that although the direction of travel is clear, the detail of how we get there is lacking in some areas."
Green MSP Alison Johnstone said: "The government's plan lacks ambition on cheap and clean heat and is worryingly dependent on carbon capture technology that is unlikely to make a difference in time. We are seriously missing a trick if we allow our renewables boom to be captured by big companies instead of communities and councils who could secure a lasting income."
Mr Wheelhouse added: "The RPP2 shows how Scotland can achieve its emissions targets from 2013 to 2027 and we remain committed to action on climate change, even in the face of faltering ambition elsewhere."

People Targeted for Anti-Obama Speech
Several public school teachers are facing investigations for posting items on social networking sites that opposed President Obama and his agenda. Parents raised concerns regarding the teachers' posts prompting the school distracts to launch investigations. Similarly, teens who posted anti-Obama messages on social networking sites are being targeted by a website called Jezebel, which not only reveals the identities of the students who made the posts, but reported the students to their schools.
Attorney General Holder to Step Down?
Attorney General Eric Holder announced Thursday that he was unsure whether he would stay on as Attorney General through President Obama's second term. The announcement was made before law students at the University of Baltimore, reported CBS News.
Dow Jones Drops 313 Points Following Election Day
Just one day after President Obama was reelected to a second term, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 313 points. While some analysts believe the drop was in response to the election results, others assert that it was provoked by fearful anticipation of the impending fiscal cliff that the federal government will be forced to contend with at the end of 2012. The fiscal cliff refers to the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011 that are scheduled to go into effect in 2013.
California GMO-Labeling Ballot Measure Fails
Voters in California voted against Proposition 37, the initiative that would have mandated genetically engineered foods be labeled, on Tuesday. The final results on the ballot measure were 53.1 percent opposed to the measure and 46.9 percent in favor.
Déjà Vu: Funny Business at Philadelphia Polling Places
The battleground state of Pennsylvania is proving to be a potentially volatile region, particularly in Philadelphia. Members of the New Black Panthers are once again patrolling Philadelphia polling places and resorting to voter intimidation similar to what was seen in Philadelphia in 2008. In other areas of Philadelphia, Republican election monitors are being turned away from polling places.
Baltimore Adds Audio Recording Devices to Its Buses
City officials in Baltimore have established public transportation policies that constitutionalists and state legislators say infringe upon the rights of its citizens. According to the Baltimore Sun, Maryland Transit Administration authorities have announced that audio devices are being added to its buses to record private conversations in order to "investigate crimes, accidents and poor customer service."
Movie Review: Flight
Flight is a powerfully redemptive film that highlights the disastrous effects that substance abuse can have on one's life. Denzel Washington aptly portrays a man who has seemingly hit rock-bottom until things take a dramatic turn for the worse, proving that man's fall into depravity is a hard and dramatic one without bounds. Flight proves to be an exciting film with masterful direction and action and can possibly be one of this year's best.
Hurricane Sandy Showcases American Goodness
Hurricane Sandy has tested the resolve and the resources of the American people, but it has proven to be yet another opportunity for the American people to showcase their generosity and charitable natures.
Sandy Wreaks Havoc on East Coast and Mid-Atlantic
Hurricane Sandy, appropriately dubbed "Frankenstorm," proved to be everything geologists warned it would be and more. The superstorm has left a trail of destruction across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, has claimed the lives of over 50 people, including three children, and caused approximately $20 billion in damage.

More Than 150 Guns Collected In Police Gun Buyback Program
Friday's Connecticut school shooting weighed on the minds of those that gave their guns to police in Prince George's County.
Prince George's County Police and Laurel Police collected more than 150 guns Saturday during a buyback program in Laurel, The Washington Post reports.
Residents handed guns over to law enforcement officials in exchange for gift cards.
Though the program was planned before Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, many of those that turned weapons over to police said they didn't want the firearms to fall into the wrong hands, according to the paper.
The massacre in Connecticut left 26 students and staff at the school dead, including 20 young children.
Two previous gun buyback events in Prince George's County have collected more than 300 guns, police said.

Now let's see if the bad guys will turn their guns in too. Maybe if we ask nicely and use our manners.

Lots of "bad guys" steal their guns from "good guys." Lots of "good guys" have depressed or emotionally unstable people in their household ... or will someday. Lots of "good guys" simply have a change of heart about having a lethal weapon in their home.
I'm all for giving honest people who don't WANT their guns a way to safely get rid of them.
And if you morally want to make *sure* that your weapon will never, ever be used to hurt someone, selling it to a dealer just doesn't cut it. A dealer will sell your gun to someone who may or may not be a responsible person; there's no way for you to know. Melting the gun down is the only way to fully discharge your moral responsibility for the weapon.
2:39 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
I Agree with those people for turning in their "Dirty Guns" for a giftcard. Its not like those guns were their only guns. With times being rough for a bunch of folks, why not get the gift card? If it were their only firearms and they didnt trust themselves enough to use proper safety methods to keep others from obtaining them, then yep give them up, because i wouldnt want a criminal breaking in their house, to get shot accidently . Now if your old and cant defend yourself, not even with a gun then i agree you should turn your guns in also because at that point prayer and police is all you have. Times are hard but not that hard where i would trade safety for what i would hope is liberty. All in all when its said and done, people will fear what they dont understand, and those with fear will try to project their fears on the masses. This would lead to more gun-gun control and or more people buying guns. Either way turning in your guns will not stop crime, it makes it easier for a crime to be put upon onesself.

I have no strong feelings either way with respect to gun control issues. All I know is I have on old shotgun that was examined by an expert, and he told me not to ever fire it because it's damaged internally. I'd like to find a gun buy back event, just to get rid of it so no one gets hurt. So I think buy back events are good for that reason.

Two years ago, a similar play occurred with the same result...
Billick was the color man in the booth and to boil his speech down to the basics, with less than a yard to go, the QB should not turn his back on the LOS to hand off 5 yds behind the LOS...
4th and inches was the same as 4th and 5 in this case.
I sure can't explain it. SD had a 4th and inches in the first half. Handed it off and the RB squirted reall low over the bodies of his O linemen who were practically on their bellies. He got the first down.
The Ravens just can't seem to execute and the poor O line play for 3.5 quarters was exemplified by that play. There was also an important 3rd and 1 in the first half. Ravens line up in bunch formation with the D totally ready for a run. The Ravens hand off to Rice up the middle and he's tackled for a loss. Why the hell are you not changing the play and spreading them out at that point. There was no crowd noise in a half empty stadium with 20K Ravens fans among them.
So is that poor play calling or poor execution. You'd almost want to see a QB sneak but we've seen Flacco get stuffed on those too. A prominent case was in New England 2 seasons ago (Flacco stuffed on 4th and an inch).
The Ravens O line has issues getting off the ball and pushing a D line backwards.
On the 4th and inches it looked like Flacco changed the play call at the line of scrimmage, maybe seeing to much beef in the middle, and I think that was a mistake. The Ravens were having some success up the middle, but trying to go around the side was just too slow developing.
On the 4th and 29, frankly we got lucky and got an incredibly gutsy play out of Ray Rice. There were not a lot of other options at that point, but if you're going to fail, you at least want to put the ball in the hands of your best player and hope he makes a play, which he certainly did.
My problem is this:
There should never even have been a 4th and 29. The Ravens had a first down on a Flacco strike down the middle two plays prior (I beleive in FG range). The refs called Yanda for holding. HE DID NOT HOLD. Not even close. In fact he was beat and his man was steaming towards Flacco as Flacco threw (for the first down).
Can't even imagine what the refs THOUGHT they saw. I know they "could call holding on every play". But obviously they don't, and by the way they DO call it there is no way Yanda held, even in a "could call it" scenario. So the whole palooza over the spot and moving the chains was effectively a make-up call whether intentional or not. No body is talking about this though.
It's easy. On 4th and inches, Ray Rice didn't get the ball. On 4th and 29, Ray Rice DID get the ball.
The refs gave an extra yard on the 4th and 29.
Luck. Pure and simple.
That's football!
I can explain it. Boldin made that key block that allowed Ray to go the final 10 yards or so for the 1st down!!!!!!!!! That was key. If he doesn't make that block, Ray comes up 10 yards short.
That's easy. Cam was willing to let Rice have the ball on 4th and 29.
But on 4th and inches he thinks it's better with Ray sitting on the bench.
Cam also thinks it's better to do a QB sneak when it's 3rd and a loooong 1 with Flacco just closing his eyes and pushing forward and then on 4th and inches run a slow developing handoff to a 3rd string runnung back.
Maybe the defense had something to do with it?
I'm not that schooled deep in the game like a lot of folks here, but I wonder if the SD defense just concentrated too much on deep coverage and left the short/underneath middle not adequately protected? If I was the opposition coach, I would have a defender in Rice's back pocket on every play.
On the 4th and inches Flacco changed the play at the line to the right side when the the team was jumbo package to the left on the 4 and 29 he simply gave it to the best player on the team.
On the 4th and inches play, it's worth watching Michael Oher's contribution (or lack thereof). "1 Winning Drive" highlights that play in the replay package this week. Just looking at how it was blocked, it makes me think that the point of the shift might have been to set up the run as a cut-back to the left behind the "jumbos". The right side gets pushed back a hair but seems to put helmets on helmets. The left side did a decent job getting some push. Except for Oher. He actually flinched before everyone else (maybe early), you can see it clearly on the show. Then he just gets smoked off the snap by his guy, who proceeds to then make the tackle. He needed to get over to seal Liuget off, and didn't even come close. He flinched at the worst possible time, then got caught "stopping himself" when the actual snap was made. That left him flat footed, while Liuget was virtually untouched.
If Oher just battles him to a draw, there was plenty of space for Pierce to cut back and pick up the first down... and probably several more yards. But Oher did virtually nothing on the play. In all honesty, the play would have looked exactly the same if Oher hadn't even been on the field and they ran it with 10 men.

Published March 1, 2002.
For a salad with bright flavors and a lilting texture, go easy on the oil and heavy on the seasonings, and use a light hand to dress the greens.
Wilted spinach salads are generally simple to make, but there are two possible pitfalls: The dressing tends to be greasy and dull-tasting, and the spinach overly wilted and mushy.
We wanted a dressing that wasn't too greasy and spinach that retained a slight but satisfying crunch.
Cut back on the usual 4-to-1 ratio of oil to acid so as not to overpower the delicate spinach, and add the lemon juice or vinegar once the oil and other ingredients have been heated to maintain brightness. To avoid overly wilted spinach, use just 1/4 cup of dressing for 6 cups of greens.

When the government treats teenagers like children by punishing anyone over the age of 18 who has sex with someone under 18 He was 18. She was 17. They had sex. He went to prison for statutory rape. They got back together when he was released a year later.
1. | statutory rape | ||
n. the legal concept that someone 18 or older having sex with someone younger than 18 is committing a felony. Members of NAMBLA advocate committing this with young boys, apparently. Even less than 100 years ago, it was common for men to marry teen girls as young as 13. I guess all those men committed statutory rape. John is 18 and Jane is 17, and John was arrested and put in jail and now is a convicted felon even though Jane married him on her 18th birthday. What a crazy country we live in.
2. | statutory rape | ||
The act of fucking someone who is under 18 (When your 18+) - quite ILLEGAL and common in USA. Quite LEGAL and common in Japan. Need I say more?........................
3. | Statutory rape | ||
Sex that is not rape but they just say it is. Repeal statutory rape law.
4. | Statutory Rape | ||
Someone eighteen or over having sexual intercourse with someone under the age of sixteen. Some people say it's pedofelia, others disagree. Joe's gf is 14 and he's 18. If her mom finds out there fucking she can have him charged with statutory rape!
6. | statutory rape | ||
Carnal knowledge of a statue. One dope head to another about thier buddy who is trashed: Whoa dude! Look at Larry on the Venus de Milo.
Second dope head: Yeah dude I think that's statutory rape. |
The act of an adult (18+), having consensual sex with someone under the age of 18 (varies from state to state, at least from 16-18), but due to state law, the minor cannot legally consent, so the adult gets fucked over for nothing even though no actual rape took place. Even though my girlfriend is 16 and I'm 18 and she consented to us having sex, I was charged with statutory rape because her parents can't handle the fact that their daughter is a teenager with hormones and decided to try and send me to jail.

BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- A Chobani truck made quite the mess on a Southern Tier highway Monday night. 18 tons of Greek yogurt spilled as the tractor trailer flipped on its side while making a left hand turn on I-88 west. The driver was not hurt, but the highway has been shut down ever since, while cleanup efforts continue.
There is no word at this point on if any of the yogurt was salvageable.

He is one of the best fans i have seen for any band, I love his non chalant way of posting and specialy when he pours his guts and soul into it. Thanks to him i started writing again, I cant thanks him enough for that.He is a great person to speak with on various topics, from Shamanism, Music, Literature, Music Busines, The Doors, Pink Floyd and all that those 2 bands bring with them. On many levels i can find ways to understand and relate to his passion for these diferent things.The think i value the most about him, has to be his honesty with his freinds, and the way he will stick up for them, not matter whats going down. True friendship te kind this world has neglected and forgotten and some of the new generations dont even understand. He is from the old guard they dont make people quite like him anymore, a true rebel in his heart and an awesome composer.One of the best things in the GNR forum world for me has been havign the pleasure of meeting him and pine and Gaby and all of la familia and hanging with them trough the good the bad and the ugly.Thanks Warchild.Viva La Familia
