Before Playing You'll Need:
Two people. You can play by yourself, but it's not as much fun! You could also play with more, but unless you have a lot of tennis rackets it would involve a lot of taking turns!
A tennis racket or two!
A stash of balloons or water-balloons.
Start by filling a water-balloon, or two.
Stand 5-15 feet apart.
Pick one person to throw their balloon or throw simultaneously.
Hit the balloon thrown at you!
If the balloon doesn't pop, repeat the last step until it does, or until someone doesn't hit it.
-If you want the balloon to pop on impact fill it as full as possible. If you fill it smaller you are likely to get a good number of passes to and fro out of it.
-The closer you stand the more passes back and forth you can get.
- Underhanded throws and hits are best for achieving optimum numbers of passes.
-This game is best played with a sprinkler running near by!
- If tennis rackets are not on hand, a baseball or cricket bat would work well too!
- This game could be played in a circle (or square or triangle) in a group setting.
That's all there is to Water-Balloon Tennis. So have fun playing and getting absolutely soaked!! Enjoy your summer everyone!

Bruins star Patrice Bergeron signed an eight-year, $52 million contract extension on Friday, the latest move by the Eastern Conference champions to get long-term commitments from key players.
The new deal for one of the NHL's best two-way forwards begins after next season when Bergeron's three-year, $15 million contract expires.
Just two days earlier, Boston tied up goalie Tuukka Rask for eight years, the longest period allowed for a team to re-sign its own players, for $56 million. Rask had been a restricted free agent.
Bergeron said last week he was "very confident" he would get an extension.
"It would mean a lot," the alternate captain said. "It's a team that believed in me when I was 18 and when I was coming up and now, like I said before, it's my home. I feel like it is, and I love the city. I love the people, definitely love the organization."
The Bruins' hopes for their second Stanley Cup championship in three years ended on June 24 when they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games. But Bergeron was outstanding throughout his 22 playoff games, tying for the team lead with nine goals, including two game-winners in overtime.
The second-line center played the last game of the finals with a broken rib and separated shoulder. After that 3-2 loss, when Chicago came from behind with two goals in the last 1:16, he was hospitalized with a punctured lung. He was released two days later.
Bergeron, 27, said he won't need surgery and expects to be ready for the start of training camp.
A talented playmaker and checker, Bergeron won the Selke Trophy in 2011-12 as the top defensive forward in the NHL.
He led the league in 2012-13 in faceoff percentage, winning 62.1 of them. In his nine seasons, all with the Bruins, he has 153 goals and 280 assists. He had 10 goals and 22 assists last season.
In 83 playoff games, Bergeron has 20 goals — none bigger than the two he scored in Game 7 of the opening round this season against Toronto.
The Bruins won three of the first four games before the Maple Leafs won the next two and led 4-1 with less than 11 minutes left in the third period. Nathan Horton cut the lead to 4-2, Milan Lucic scored an empty-net goal with 1:22 left and Bergeron tied it with another empty-netter with 51 seconds remaining in regulation.
Then he won the game — and the series — with a goal at 6:05 of overtime.

June 2, 2011 • Does anyone know what the laws for strip clubs are for Indiana? Also, what are the best clubs in the Indianapolis area?
June 2, 2011 • Google will probably be a better source of information about the law. As for "best", that's a matter of opinion, so perusing the reviews is probably indicated. Brad's Brass Flamingo always seems to be highly rated, though based on the reviews and comments, I'm not sure I understand why it's *that* highly rated.
June 2, 2011
• The law around Indianapolis anyway, at least as I understand it, is the girls keep their bottoms on and wear these little band-aid looking things on the tips of their nipples. I've noticed a lot of girls will forgo those, though, which make LDs infinitely better.
Again in Indy, BBF gets the highest ratings for all around cute girls, relatively high mileage, and modest prices (LDs = $12). I think there are better clubs in other parts of the US, but in Indy, BBF's the best, hands down.
June 2, 2011 • Rod has pretty well covered it. All clubs have beer / alcohol so fear of liquor license controls club. Really clubs are more controlled by alcohol commission than law enforcement. no totally private rooms a couple of clubs use booths but most dances in common rooms. more specific questions can be answered
June 2, 2011 • Brad's has definitely slipped. In the 2 times I was there last week, as I commented in my review. There is an overwhelming, pathetic majority of titless dancers. I wouldn't waste my money on them. Fortunately, the first afternoon, there was a chesty MILF that I enjoyed. Only for one dance however, it was obvious that no extras were going to happen, and I didn't feel like going on and getting more and getting more disgusted if nothing happened.
June 2, 2011 • Thanks for the info.
June 2, 2011 • Dancers Show Club in the SW Indy area near the airport has always been my favorite diversion in the area. Probably the best looking dancers and there is some semi-privacy that can be adequate with the right dancer.

Millennium Print Group representatives shown, from the left, are Barry Long, sales and marketing manager; Carlton Coe, pressman; Tony Brid, pressman; and Darrin Spivey, president.
New Press Credited with Business Growth
TROY, MI—Tepel Brothers Printing liked its first six-color Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105 press so much, it purchased another one just six months later. The new press has full interdeck UV capabilities and is already 50 percent more productive than the two-year-old Speedmaster CD 102 UV it replaced.
"We wanted to expand our horizons, and that is exactly what we've done," says Jim Tepel, president. "We are one of just a few printers in southeast Michigan with the ability to print a wide range of specialty work—static cling, signage and floor decals, etc.—not to mention special effects like strike-through UV with reticulating varnish."
Automated Press Boosts Shop's Turnaround Times
APEX, NC—Millennium Print Group recently installed a five-color Komori Lithrone SX29 offset press with coater. The digital and offset business provides printed products for the academic, retail and pharmaceutical industries. Millennium chose the press because of its extensive automation, which allows the shop to offer faster turnaround times. The unit's in-line coater also means operators no longer have to apply varnish or coating in a separate pass, representing a savings in time.
SAN FRANCISCO—Let Us Copy recently acquired a Xerox 700 digital color press.

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Saturday signed a bill to prevent a government shutdown, but not without complaint.
Bush lambasted the Democrats who control Congress for sending him the stopgap measure while they continue to work on more than a dozen spending bills funding the day-to-day operations of 15 Cabinet departments.
"Congress failed in its most basic responsibility," the president said in his weekly radio address.
The bills are tied up because Democrats want to add $23 billion for domestic programs to Bush's $933 billion request for the approximately one-third of the federal budget funded by the yearly spending bills. Bush has threatened vetoes on most of the bills, eager to re-establish his party's reputation as the place to go for fiscal discipline.
The president said Democrats are planning the "biggest tax increase in American history" to pay for the new spending.
"Earlier this year congressional leaders promised to show that they could be responsible with the people's money," he said. "Unfortunately they seem to have chosen the path of higher spending."
Democrats say their spending add-ons are relatively modest given the overall size of the budget and in comparison with Bush's pending $189 billion request for Pentagon operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008. And most of the additional money, Democrats say, simply restores cuts proposed by Bush to popular programs such as community development grants, health research and anti-crime initiatives.
The new fiscal year begins Monday, and something had to be done before then or the government's authority to spend money would run out.
While calling this situation "disappointing," Bush extended a bit of an olive branch to Congress. He expressed his thanks that lawmakers passed a clean temporary measure with no new spending or policies, and that the measure does the same for a popular health insurance program covering children from low-income families. That program also is the subject of veto showdown between the president and the Democratic majority on Capitol Hill.
The stopgap spending bill will keep Cabinet departments running at current levels through mid-November, extend financing for the children's insurance program and dip deeply into a $70 billion fund for Pentagon operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Such stopgap funding bills are routine and have been needed every year since 1994. But for the first time in five years, not one of the 12 annual appropriations bills have become law by the Oct. 1 deadline.
The children's insurance program now covers 6.6 million children from modest-income families not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. Democrats, with significant support from Republicans, want to expand it. Their plan would add $35 billion, funded by new tobacco taxes.
Analysts say the legislation would allow about 4 million of the estimated 9 million uninsured children in the United States gain coverage.
Democrats enlisted a 12-year-old boy to promote the program during the party's weekly radio address Saturday.
Graeme Frost of Baltimore suffered severe brain damage in a car wreck three years ago. He said the children's insurance program allowed him to get the medical help he needed.
"I just hope the president will listen to my story and help other kids be as lucky as me," Graeme said.
Bush wants a $5 billion increase in the program, and took a fresh dig at the Democrats on the issue.
"Congressional leaders have put forward an irresponsible plan that would dramatically expand this program beyond its original intent," he said. "And they know I will veto it."

"For My Mother"
When I was a child, my mother
took out a gray pan every morning.
With a knife, she cut thin slits along a tilapia.
I asked her what she was doing, opening my hands
in front of me, my palms upward, empty.
"I'm making you breakfast," she said, and smiled.
That was my last memory of her, when she smiled.
I see her again six years later, hoping my mother
would remember how she left, how the empty
house with my ate gone, my father at work every morning,
was her fault. We meet at a diner in Burbank, shaking hands
only. I sit still in our booth. I order coffee, she orders fried tilapia.
Her fork and spoon evenly slice the tilapia
and it lies flat on its side; its open mouth smiles.
She says, "So, how've you been girlfriend?" Her hands
look blurred in the air. I stare at her, eying my mother,
reaching for my spoon. I stir my coffee, saying it's morning,
"You should know how I hate mornings." My voice is empty.
She looks at the window. The sun envelops her face. Her empty
plate is left with the skeleton and eyes of the fried tilapia.
Her hair looks dyed, a deep blonde, in the light of morning.
I tell her my father works a lot, ate is married. She smiles.
"We missed you at the wedding," I say to my mother.
"Oh, anak, I tried to come, honest." She waves her hands.
My mother reaches across the table and I slap her hands
away from my face. She tries again but only touches empty
air. Her fingers finally brush my chin and I feel my mother's
touch again. It's cold and slippery. I look down at the tilapia
bones, away from her glance. When she lifts my face, a smile
forms on my lips. "Come on, anak," she says, "It's morning."
I try to keep my mouth still, asking the waitress for morning
coffee. My mother tries to keep it light, keeping her hands
on her lap, telling me about her fifth husband. The waitress smiles
at us, says, "Y'all look so alike." Brushing her apron, she takes the empty
plate away. My mother rubs her belly. I tell her, "You always loved tilapia.
That's the one thing I know about you, mother."
Since that day, every morning, I walk into my empty
room with closed hands. I imagine I smell tilapia
and remember her smile; my only memory of my mother.

WOW, "Quarantine" was awesome! I'm glad I opted to buy it!:thumbsup:
I watched An Evening Harder With Kevin Smith a few days ago, (still) great stuff!
Saw Goodnight America, A Final Night with George W. Bush on HBO. Has its moments, and for no particular reason I lost all sensibility and almost passed out from laughing about the secret project from Ft Bragg.
I saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch last night at a free screening, and the director/star, John Cameron Mitchell, talked afterwards. He's also going to speak in my film class today. It was a pretty good movie and his talk was interesting.
I also watched AOTC with my roommates last night, starting at around midnight, which is the latest I've ever started a SW film, I think.
I'm a bit jealous you got to meet JCM. I'm a huge fan of his Hedwig follow-up, Shortbus.
Hedwig is one movie I've wanted to see for a long time and have been trying to track down the DVD locally for a while now. It's out of print and I'm trying not to order it online since the prices are just so-so for a used copy.
I didn't meet him one-on-one or anything but hearing him talk was really interesting. He talked not just about film but a lot of other stuff as well particularly sexuality (imagine that). He's quite frank. In talking about his other work, he mentioned that he voiced the Dunkaroos kangaroo back in the day, which was quite a surprise to me as I loved those damn things.
Anyway, yeah, Hedwig was really good, if really odd. I've only seen some of Shortbus (watching it with someone about a year ago and mostly marveling at the crazy sex scenes but not watching the actual story, unfortunately).
Watched Role Models last night. Had me laughing alot
I saw a sneak preview of Adventureland tonight. Not bad, but not as much humor as I had hoped; it's more of a straight-up love story with some funny secondary characters. It was good for what it was, though.
Aside from the J. C. Mitchell and Hedwig fans, the big draw of Shortbus was the sex, which I admit, got my attention. My wife and I happened to be in Chicago and saw it during it's theatrical run. After the initial shock of the film's reality wore off I really got into the movie and enjoyed it quite a bit as a character film and it ended up as one of my favorite movies of the year.
The little kid (Ronnie) was hysterical, as was the movie in general.
Ronnie was killer. Dont touch my hang down.

Washington - President Barack Obama will host Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House on Thursday, their first meeting since the Democratic incumbent defeated his Republican challenger in a bitterly fought election.
The encounter follows Obama's post-election promise to engage with the former Massachusetts governor and consider his ideas. It also comes amid Obama's efforts to work out with congressional leaders a way to avoid a looming "fiscal cliff" that could push the US economy back into recession.
"Governor Romney will have a private lunch at the White House with President Obama in the private dining room," the White House announced on Wednesday, little more than three weeks after the November 6 election.
The talks will be a chance for Obama to look bipartisan at a time when he needs Republican co-operation in Congress, and for Romney to start rebuilding his political stature after leading his party to a disappointing election outcome.
The meeting will be sandwiched between a series of events this week in which Obama is making his case to Americans to raise taxes on wealthy Americans while extending tax cuts for the middle class - an approach that his former Republican rival strongly opposed during the campaign.
Obama's Democrats and their Republican foes remain deadlocked over dramatic, year-end tax increases and spending cuts known as the fiscal cliff.
Fresh from his election win, Obama sought in his victory speech to show a willingness to reach across the political aisle when he offered to meet Romney "to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward."
Obama's aides contacted Romney's camp shortly afterward.
Their only encounters during the campaign - a series of three nationally televised debates - were fraught with tension, with the candidates exhibiting little personal chemistry.
Despite that, Obama told a November 14 news conference he could envision a future role in public service for Romney, though he had no specific "assignment" for him.
White House spokesperson Jay Carney mentioned Romney's management skills, demonstrated in his running of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, and said Obama looked forward to discussing, among a variety of issues, the president's "interest in making the federal government more efficient".
Obama earlier this year asked Congress for powers to carry out a major overhaul that would merge six trade and business agencies, a move that could ultimately unravel the sprawling Commerce Department.
Romney, in a conference call with donors after the election, was widely reported to have said that Obama won by using targeted initiatives to reward specific constituencies, including African-Americans, Latinos and young people.
Some of Romney's fellow Republicans, eager to regroup after their disappointing election outcome, disavowed his comments.
When they sit down together, the event will be closed to the media. "We're going to let the two men who spent a great deal of time in public eye over the course of the past year, both of them, have a private lunch together," Carney said.
While in Washington, Romney will also meet with his former vice-presidential running mate, Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, according to a Ryan aide.
Obama, who won a decisive victory after a bruising campaign, had sought to depict Romney as out of touch with ordinary Americans and intent on shielding the rich from higher taxes.
Romney had accused Obama of failed economic policies and wasteful spending to promote big government. - Reuters

Basketball fans around the country have been wondering throughout the spring which of the final two major high school recruits would be the first to pick a college.
Today John Wall chose Kentucky. Lincoln (Brooklyn, N.Y.) star Lance Stephenson still is up for grabs.
Wall, who averaged 19.7 points, nine assists and over eight rebounds, had strongly considered Memphis when Calipari still was its head coach.
"It's never been about him scoring," Stevens told MaxPreps. "He's as quick as I've ever seen. And he can hit a dunk as good as anybody I've seen."
The athletic Wall will join a superb recruiting class, which also includes 6-10 All-American DeMarcus Cousins (LeFlore, Mobile, Ala.). The Wildcats are so loaded that at this point they are at least three over their NCAA-allowed number of 13 scholarships.
Proving that recruiting is just as important to fans as the actual games, Stevens noted, "I've already had two calls about C.J. Leslie (Wall's talented 6-9 junior teammate)."

Um, I don't seem to be able to see anything in the Results columns after I've logged in, even though I've played sporadically since April.
That's the report at the top of the front page, with the Latest headings: Week, Month, Quarter, Lifetime. The fields are empty. but if I use your new Statistics page to pull up My Profile, it shows rankings for last week (but not this week, as I missed Monday), This Quarter, This Month and Overall Rank. BTW, why is the ranking order on this report:
I'd think Month would come before Quarter, no?
But I see info under my Profile, including Player Since 8 April 2010, Best Week 212 in ...
Otherwise, I like the new design, though I'd still like an easy way to flip through the quizzes I've taken and check my results. I don't see an easy way to filter out just those days.

For all the Serbs around the world, in Serbia and the Diaspora. Pedal in Peace wishes everyone a great weekend of celebration. Dosta!!!
Remain strong and faithful to our faith, Serbia remains strong only if we remain strong. The Orthodox is our foundation, our pillar which we must never relinquish. Already, the Pedal in Peace founder has received disturbing phone calls from Croatians "criticizing" this endeavour. Ignorance is their fault while their bigotry will not detract from PiP's focus!
Pedal in Peace rides on Aug 02 through the 15th, ending in Presevo, Serbia after starting in Novi Grad, Republika Srpska.
"This help does not only mean meeting their basic needs but also being aware that there is someone who cares for their future. Such a generosity will be certainly returned to someone else in the future. We'll open a circle of good deeds this way and they will lessen the evil that afflicted the youngest."
This is great. I have been looking for a project like this for our church family. Please explain to me exactly what you understand about how it works.
Vidovdan is also the date Djindjich and his anti-Serb coalition decided to extradite Miloshevich to the Hague.
Many have used Vidovdan (St. Vitus' Day) to make fun of Serbs who celebrate their "defeat." Historically, the result of the Kosovo battle between the Turks and the Serbs was a draw.
Although the Turks defeated the Serbs in battle, a fateful but not a given outcome on the Blackbird's (i.e. Kosovo) Field, their victory was tempered by the killing of the Turkish Sultan the night before by a Serb warrior Milosh Obilich. Aftere the battle, the decapitated Turkish army reatreated to what is today FYROM Macedonia for 100 years.
Thus, in their defeat, the Serbs have delayed Ottoman conquest of Europe and won, knowingly or not, for Christian Europe badly needed and precious time to prepare for and check the Ottoman advance next time around.
The Military Krayina was formed by the Serbs escaping Bosnia in the 15th century, a rather desolate and scarcely populated region. As a border that served Austria as an effective barrier to further Ottoman advance, the Krayina Serbs were privileged and free, as compared to their Croatian neighbors, who were serfs -- the seeds of the Serbo-Croat conflict that was to come of age centuries later.
In 1914, Archduke Ferninand came to Bosnia to observe Austro-Hungarian war games on Serbia's border with Austrian-occupied Bosnia. The day was Vidovdan, and a clear provocation.
After resisting for a whole year the might of Austria-Hungary and Germany combined, Serbia -- that only two years earlier fought two major wars -- began to collapse. The Serb army retreated, thanks to various units that were literally sacrificed to slow down the enemy advance, to the Kosovo Polye and there made a decision to retreat through Albania to the coast, where they were promised by the British to be picked up and readided to come back to Serbia.
So, symbolically, once again, on that Field, and with their sovereign, the Serbs chose to die (about 1/3 died on the trek through Albania) rather than surrender.
The very first Yugoslavia (then known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) had a Constiution that was voted in on Vidovdan and is in fact known as the Vidovdanski ustav, St. Vitus's Day Constitution.
Miloshevich held his famnous and misquoted speech on the Gazimestan, the physical battlefield in Kosovo Polye, for a 600th anniversary, when over 1 million Serbs showed up.
Kosovo has been Serbia's curse and blessing. It is one of those eternal issues that never goes away.
Yes. I very much agree and think that there is much we don't (yet?) understand about the Serbs and Kosovo.
A new generation....
Maybe this is a big can of worms to open, but I'm interested in hearing your take on this; I've heard that Archduke Ferdinand was actually very pro-Serb and had much respect for the Serbian people which tended to mark him as a black sheep to the Hapsburghs and therefore expendable. I'm actually friends with Serbs that had him as Kumovi in their family and they consider him a sacrificial lamb for the Austria-Hungarian Empire.
I heard that Archduke Ferdinand may have been sent to Sarajevo on Vidovdan knowing that he would likely be executed and it would be a great excuse for Austria-Hungary to declare an ultimatum to Serbia that they could never possibly accept and therefore Austria-Hungary could feel justified in swallowing up a Serbia that had been very much exhausted by the Balkan Wars.
Do you think there can be any truth to this theory?
The Serbian Royal Police warned Austria-Hungary that there may be an attempt on Archduke's life if he came to Sarajevo on Vidovdan, but that warning went uheeded. Serbia had no interest in fighting one of the largest empires in Europe, especially in view of the effort and sacrifice of successfully kicking Turks out of Europe in the First Balkan War (1912), and then defeating her ally Bulgaria in the Second Balkan War (1913) that started with Bulgaria's unprovoked attack on Serbia. So, Serbia had no motive to kill Archduke. It also had nothing to gain. On the other hand, Austria-Hungary had a rich motive and stood a lot to gain by picking a fight with Serbia, especially at the time when Serbia's energies have been drained by wars.
Looking at the political map of the Blakans in 1914, the only obstacle to the so-called Berlin-Baghdad Axis was Serbia and its tiny sister kingdom of Montenegro. They were the only two countries that had native dynasties and were firecly pro-western. All other Balkan countries, including Serbia's ally Greece, had foreign royalty, mostly German and, in the case of Albania, Italian.
Although tiny compared to super powers of Europe, Serbia has doubled its size in just two years following the Balkan wars, and was becoming a local powerbroker. More importantly, Serbia has been a source of inspiration to other Slavs in the area who were still in German, Hungarian or Italian lands. The Croatian Illyrian (later renamed Yugoslav) movement was looking towards Serbia as a way of helping Croats attain their independence from Austria-Hungary.
Serbia and Montenegro therefore stood as a living proof that Southern Slav can not only be free but victorious. That did not go very well with Vienna or Berlin.
In addition to that, Bosnian Serbs (who were a 44% majority population at that time) were boiling with a desire to rid themselves of Austrian and Muslim domination, and to join their kin in Serbia and Montenegro. Besidres, Bosnia has always been a Serb land -- and edicts of Bosnia's earliest rulers leave no doubt of that.
An underground movement called "The Black Hand" headed by a Serbian colonel with alias Apis was actively recruiting the willing and able to fight Austria covertly by means that, depending whose side you are on, are called terrorist or guerilla. The Serbian government was not happy about this and saw Apis as a dangerous destabilizing factor that could hurt Serbia's interests, so Serbia had very reason to warn Austria-Hungary of the impending assassination attempt.
The actual assassination attempt on Archudke failed. A hand granade tossed into his car was thrown out only to explode on the street and hurt members of the motorcade security. Later, Archudke went to Sarajevo's hospital to visit the victims of the attack. That visit was obviously not scheduled and could not have been planned as a target opportunity by the Serbs. The assassin Gavrilo Princip (Printsip) happened to be standing at the corner where the official motorcade leaving the hospital made an unscheduled turn. Having slowed down to practically a crawl, he rushed to the car and emptied his gun killing not only the Archduke but his wife as well.
If Archduke had been a friend of the Serbs, as you say, he would not have been assassinated because all the Serbs had to do is wait for him to take the throne once Fraz Jospeh II passed away. I also seriously doubt that your friends had Archduke over for kumovi unless they were at the very top of the social pyramid -- royal and government. Maybe the Archduke was passing by some village and was caught in an impromptou moment to be part of some celebration, but that is a coincidence not a pattern.
I also seriously doubt that your friends had Archduke over for kumovi unless they were at the very top of the social pyramid -- royal and government.
They were at the very top of the social pyramid and the Archduke was Godfather to my friend's father-in-law in more than just a ceremonial way.
Care to share with us precisely who they are?
Ferdinand was not a very popular figure. His political vision of a Tripartite state instead of a Dual Monarchy, with equal rights for Slavs as well as Hungarians and Germans did not sit well with Franz Joseph II, or the establishment in Austria-Hungary.
That did not mean Ferdinand had any special love feelings for the Slavs. He was trying to prevent the outdated Monarchy from falling apart and proposed the unthinkable -- federalization of the state.
He fell into the line of succession by sheer luck, or lack of it. Jospeh's son Rudolf never made it, and Joseph's brother, Ferdinand's father, who would have succeeded Joseph, died prematurely. Ferdinand was not a choice.
He was neither popular with the German or Hungarian people who despised Slavs, nor with his own family. He was therefore a perfect sacrificial lamb for Austria to realize its long-desired goal of eliminating Serbia/Montegro as pro-western obstacles to the energy-rich Berlin-Baghdad axis.
Ferdinand also married a common woman of Slavic ethnicity, Czech (Bohemian) by nationality despite the Emperor's objections. Her father was an equerry, not a very flattering thing for a future empress.
Marrying "below" his status, and a Slav, was in clear violation of rules that any successor of the Habsurbg throne had to be someone from the ruling houses of Europe. The thought of having a commoner and a Slavic Empress in Austria was about as terryfying as having an Arab (Princess Di's last lover) in the Buckingham Palace. Emperor Jospeh II did not attend his wedding.
His children (three of them) were explicitly barred from succeeding their father on a throne, and his wife from sitting with him in the royal box or royal carriage.
The Austrian government was specifically warned that it would not be a good idea for the Archuke to go to Sarajevo by the Serbian ambassador to Vienna, Yovan Yovanovich. The warning was dismissed because Yovanovich was considered a pan-Serb "extremist."
After the assassination and all the outward politically correct outrage and rhetoric about the loss, the murdered couple was burried. Neither Austrian, nor German emperors attended the funeral.
It looked as if the Serbs handed Austria and Germany a perfect solution for eliminating the Serbian roadblock to Baghdad, while ridding the Austrian court of an unawanted successor to the throne.
As it turns out, things are not always what they seem to be.
Nor did it sit well with the Serb nationalist nutcases who offed him rather than see Bosnia's Serbs get too comfortable under the Austro-Hungarian empire and thus undercut efforts to unify the Serbs in one State.
Speaking of nutcases, why don't you help me figure out how Ujedinjenje ili Smirt's goals and methods are any different than those of their ideological descendants in the 1990's - that should be fun.
I'm not very comfortable revealing who this person is, but it's not really all that important. I was just trying to illustrate that I've heard Archduke Ferdinand was a "friend" of the Serbs from a reliable source.
Your remarks don't neccessarily contradict what I've heard and in many ways confirm the story. I suppose what is debatable is the definition of the word "friend".
Well, it is important because, (1) it is unheard of, and (2) I can not find any reference to the Archudke being related to anyone Serb, because it would place a different spin on a lot of historical and even crucial events.
To Serbs a kum (pronounced as "koom") is someone who sponsors a person at baptism. As such, that person takes upon himself (or herself -- kuma) to make sure the baptised person follows the Orthodox faith faithfully and correctly.
The people on this Forum may not be familiar with the Great Schism in 1054, but ever since then the Roman Catholic Church has officially been considered heretic by the Orthodox Church (which is the only church true to the Micine Creed and unchanged since then), and continues to be such as long as it claims infalability of its patriarch, aka the pope.
By 1914, when Archudke and his wife were murdered, the Roman Catholic Church had still some 76 years to go before it lifted its predicament of heresy on Galilleo Galillei, or 42 years before lifiting the flat earth theory for that matter!
I seriously doubt, therefore, that Franz Ferdinand, a Roman Catholic, was a kum to an Orthodox Serbian child of high-enough standing to be in such company, and I also don't know of any prominent Serbian family members who were Roman Catholic.
This issue is so sensitive that the fact that Serbia's much overrated language "reformer" (bastardizer is a more fitting term), Vuk Stefanovich Karadzhich (yeah, the same Montenegrin clan that Radovan comes from), married a German woman and, completely contrary to the usual habits of his time, crossed over to Roman Catholicism. That fact is kept marginalized to this day in Serbia, especially in view of the fact that Vuk worked very closely with Jernej (Batholomew) Kopitar, a Slovene, naturally Roman Catholic, who was also the Imperial Censor on the Franz Jospeh's court -- dedicated to the Austrian policy of alienating Serbs form their Russian cousins. How? By making Serbian Cyrillic illegible to Russians, which is precisely what Vuk did! Isn't that interesting?
Finally, a kum is considered family, and such an act of closeness to Serbs would have been a well known historical fact, in view of the events that followed.
Your remarks don't neccessarily contradict what I've heard and in many ways confirm the story
What I wrote does not confirm anything about this, shall we say, interesting piece of historical unknown. I was simply reflecting on the fact that was all too well known to the Archduke and that was that by the turn of the century the Slavs constituted betwen 43 and 47 percent of the population of the disintegrating Dual Monarchy.
Archduke was also keenly aware of the fact that the Monarchy was dealt a mortal blow after being defeated by the Prussians and after having lost territory to Italians. The Monarchy was dethorned as a leading German power and was eclipsed by the newly created German Empire that was ethnically more homogenious and united.
Austria's demise by their own kin was only one of many blows to the state and the Habsburg family. Maximillian was shot and killed as a clown-emperor in Mexico. Franz Joseph's youngest brother was unfit for office because he preferred to have "indiscretions" with boys in public baths, and Franz Joseph's only son committed suicide.
Franz Joseph may have been more predisposed to some Slavs, but he was no friend of Serbs. He simply realized that without some type of Slavic backing the Monarchy would not survive.
I would like to repat, therefore, that the alleged kumovanye of Archudke Ferdnand to hig-society Serebs is news to me, and is probably one of the best kept historical secrets, and that my statements about the Austro-Hungarian Empire do not in any way confirm your story.
Archduke Franz Fedinand vice Franz Joseph.
The word is derived from the Serbian word "sretya" (happiness, good luck) where the sufix "-tya" has morphed (by a process known as "yotovanye" or iotization, a common tranformation in Slavic languages) to -cha, similar to the way "tu" morphs into "chu" in the English word -- furniture, which sound like "fer-ni-chur."
The correct term then is srechan or srechni and not sretan.
Please give me some time to get the "okay" to reveal the names. Although this information wasn't given to me in the "strictest of confideneses", I'm not quick to reveal my sources if I feel anybody could be hurt other than myself by my lipping off.

[To] write history in Mailer's style requires even more strenuous efforts with language than does the writing of a novel or a play. Having more claims to preexistent forms of reality than novels do, history will give up the shape it has assumed to some other shape only under enormous stylistic (or scholarly) pressure. In the absence of such pressure, we're left to contemplate only the failure of the efforts to exert it, to study the drama of confrontation between a doughty self and resistant historical forces.

Recent legislative and case-law developments have clarified India's position on a number of tax and transfer pricing issues. While many of these developments are intended to increase certainty for foreign investors, a number of open questions remain. Although certainty is one element of rebuilding confidence in India, certain recent clarifications may not have the intended impact of attracting increased foreign direct investment.
Clarification of the General Anti-Abuse Rule
The Indian Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) issued implementation rules for India's General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR) on September 23, 2013. The implementation rules made the following clarifications on how the GAAR will be applied. The rules:
The following are important considerations in evaluating these exemptions:
Exemption 1: It is interesting to note that FIIs are not currently required to obtain the permission of the competent authority to invest in Indian securities. As a result, the intent of the "permission" requirement is not clear.
Exemption 2: The reference to "indirect" investments relates to the controversial provisions in the current Indian Tax Act and the proposed Direct Taxes Code that subject certain indirect transfers of Indian shares by nonresidents to Indian tax. These provisions have been the subject of the long-fought US$2.2 billion dispute between Vodafone and the Indian tax authorities over Vodafone's indirect acquisition of an Indian company from a nonresident in 2007.
Exemption 3: Notwithstanding the April 1, 2016 overall implementation date and the August 30, 2010 cutoff date stated in this exemption, the implementation rules also state that a tax benefit obtained on or after April 1, 2015 will be subject to the GAAR, regardless of when the arrangement began. The varying implementations dates may create confusion for both taxpayers and the tax authorities.
Although the clarifications and exemptions contained in the implementation rules may increase certainty for foreign investors, lingering uncertainty remains in a number of areas. It will be important for the remaining uncertainty to be addressed and for the GAAR to be implemented in a consistent and transparent manner.
In the meantime, taxpayers should evaluate their transactions involving India in light of the implementation rules – in particular the safe harbor rule – which may allow flexibility previously unavailable. To the extent non-Indian companies have established financial statement reserves in anticipation of the GAAR, the safe harbor rule and exemptions may also provide an opportunity to release those reserves.
Understand the impact of the transfer pricing safe harbors
The CBDT issued final transfer pricing safe harbor rules on September 19, 2013. The primary rules are as follows:
To determine whether there is "insignificant risk," the Indian tax authorities will review a number of factors that focus on whether the foreign principal is performing the most significant functions, providing the funds and most significant assets (including intangibles) and overseeing the services performed in India, while the Indian entity is assuming no significant economic risk and retaining no ownership (legal or economic) in any developed intangibles.
Thus, in order to apply the safe harbor rules, it will be important for companies to review their agreements with Indian affiliates to ensure they clearly document these factors. Importantly, the safe harbor rules also make clear that the terms of intercompany agreements are not definitive – these factors must be implemented in practice to qualify. As a result, companies should also perform an operational review to ensure these factors are being applied by the business.
The safe harbor percentages for qualifying transactions are as follows:
These safe harbor percentages are available for five years beginning with the 2012-2013 Indian tax year, which is an improvement over the previously proposed two-year period. The previously proposed ceiling, which would have excluded taxpayers with over INR 1 billion in annual revenue from eligibility, has been eliminated from the final rules. Thus, larger taxpayers may also benefit from these rules.
On the other hand, when viewed from an international perspective, the safe harbor percentages appear high. As a result, although they create certainty from an Indian perspective, they could also cause Indian affiliates to be overpaid from an arm's length perspective. This may create effective tax rate disadvantage compared with the traditional transfer pricing approach. Perhaps more importantly, it could result in double taxation, because the payor's jurisdiction may not respect the safe harbor rates as arm's length. Further, taxpayers are required to provide detailed documentation to the Indian tax authorities in order to apply the safe harbor rules - so taxpayers may not benefit from an administrative standpoint by using the safe harbor principles, rather than the traditional transfer pricing documentation approach.
Additionally, as described below, the Indian tax authorities have taken a very broad view of whether subsidiaries or other affiliates constitute permanent establishments (PEs) of a parent company or other related principal. The "insignificant risk" requirement requires the non-Indian principal to be heavily involved in the activities of the Indian company applying the safe harbor rule. This creates a potential for multinationals to be whipsawed, because the Indian tax authorities could assert that the non-Indian principal's level of involvement causes the Indian company to become its PE in India. Thus, for the "insignificant risk" rule to work in practice, multinationals will have to walk a fine line in their level of involvement in the activities of an Indian affiliate opting into the safe harbor rules.
Accordingly, multinationals should consider the advantages and disadvantages of applying the safe harbor rules in their particular situations. For some taxpayers, the certainty provided by the safe harbor rules will outweigh the downside risks. For others, the transfer pricing and PE risks, combined with a lack of a meaningful administrative benefits, will weigh against opting in.
Consider new cases on subsidiary PEs
In two recent cases, the Indian Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has held that Indian subsidiaries of multinational companies constitute Indian PEs of their non-Indian affiliates. Although it is clear that countries may deem a subsidiary to be deemed a PE of an affiliate, the international consensus is that this requires an analysis based on general PE principles (i.e., without taking into account that the two companies are affiliates). The Indian tax authorities have taken an aggressive approach to applying this principle, and the ITAT has agreed in these cases.
In Convergys Customer Management Group Inc. v. ADIT, the taxpayer was a US company with a subsidiary in India. The Indian company provided call center and back-office support to the US company. The US company had no business activity in India and bore the vast majority of the risk related to the Indian company's services. The ITAT found that the US company frequently sent employees to visit the Indian subsidiary to supervise, direct and control its activities and that these employees had a fixed place of business at their disposal. The ITAT further found that because of the US company exercised complete control and guidance over the Indian subsidiary, the Indian subsidiary was effectively the US company's PE in India.
It is not clear from the facts of the case whether the US company's employees actually conducted the US company's business from the Indian company's premises. Instead, the ITAT focused on the level of control exerted by the US company over the Indian subsidiary – a level of control that does not appear uncommon in parent/subsidiary relationships. Thus, Convergys casts doubt on the generally held view that incorporating a subsidiary and compensating it at arm's length insulates a parent company from PE risk. This case also creates uncertainty as to how low the PE threshold is for subsidiaries of multinationals, particularly where the subsidiary is performing relatively routine administrative functions and the parent exercises common parent-level management functions.
On the other hand, the ITAT recognized that when attributing profits to a PE, once an arm's length amount of profit has been attributed, no further profits should be attributed to a PE. Nevertheless, the ITAT went on to lay out a formula-based approach to profit attribution that was inconsistent with general transfer pricing principles. Thus, Convergys casts further doubt on both the level and quantity of PE/attribution risk when operating in India through a subsidiary.
In Abacus International Pvt Ltd v. DDIT, the taxpayer was a Singapore company with a subsidiary in India. The Indian subsidiary marketed the parent's computerized reservation system (CRS) to travel agents in India. As Indian travel agents made reservations through the CRS, the Singapore company paid the Indian subsidiary a marketing fee equal to 25% of its revenues.
The ITAT held that the Indian subsidiary was a dependent agent PE of the Singapore parent. It was not clear whether the Indian company actually concluded contracts in the parent's name. The ITAT focused on the fact that the subsidiary marketed the Singapore parent's CRS to the Indian travel agents, that the travel agents then booked flights on the CRS, and that the Singapore company generated all of its Indian sales through the Indian subsidiary. Thus, as in Convergys, the ITAT appears to have applied a low threshold to find that an Indian subsidiary is a PE of a foreign parent in a relationship that is not uncommon in multinational groups (i.e., a local marketing service provider for a foreign principal).
However, the ITAT did provide some helpful guidance by confirming that general transfer pricing principles (i.e., functions, risks and assets) should be used to attribute profits to the PE. After analyzing the Indian subsidiary's profits in this light, the ITAT determined that it had earned more than an arm's length amount of profit and that, as a result, no additional profits should be attributed to the Singapore parent's PE in India. Thus, although the Singapore company was deemed to have a PE in India by virtue of its subsidiary's activities, the parent received credit for the profits of the subsidiary and was not subject to additional Singapore tax.
These two cases, taken together, raise a number of issues, primarily:
Thus, although it is now clear that a subsidiary may create a PE in India for the parent company, both the PE threshold and the methodology for attributing profits remain uncertain.
These issues further cut against the Indian government's goal of establishing a level of certainty to help restore India's place as a preferred destination for foreign direct investment.

Beasley's defense is underrated I think, when he tries hes a solid defender. He blocks some shots, gets some steals, disrupts players shots. Hes better than you guys think.
What the hell are you saying? English please...
And what am I complaining about? I'm giving my opinion on the win.
Also if your not even going to post in game threads (for whatever reason) then you don't really have the right to criticize the posts in the game day threads.
I seriously think we should look into trading for a backup big man. The Bucks have 4 centers that are all capable of being decent backups for us and would fit well here imo.
Ekpe Udoh, Samuel Dalembert, Larry Sanders, and Joel Pryzbilla. I think we can maybe acquire one of those guys for the two LAL 2nd rd picks or something.
Ah that hurt, I'm sorry I don't have good writing skills like you.
I think your opinion sucks, cuz you always look at the bad and never look at the good. I guess I don't have a opinion, cuz I don't post in game threads. Hahaha funniest stuff I ever heard. Even when the suns are doing good, you always got something to criticize.
My opinion sucks? And some how that's not the funniest stuff you've heard?
And you clearly don't even check game threads cause I always post both good and bad about the way we played in every Suns victory game day thread.
I criticize and praise at the same time when it comes to the Suns. Every loss is bringing us closer to that lottery pick who may be our future franchise player and every win is bringing us closer to the playoffs where we have a chance to do some damage.
So GTFO....please :D
Stop attacking other posters. If you don't like someones opinions, then ignore it and don't take shots at them. Retaliating is no better.
