Bump

Thank you all I will answer everything as soon as I will have more time (hoping for tomorrow ) - I was just hell busy at work and then I took some vaca to work and rest at the cottage - and the most important thing to rest from my job - sooo

I´ll be back soon :evil:

JENKS with a CANDICE SIGGY FOR SHAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

lllllllllllll next ill see lima NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT any plans for the weekend

No, Lima no we were on the cottage, as always - I was tidying up the wood mess on the yard and fl was welding a construction for sifting gravel, and on Sunday we were making a window cills from stones (hard to explain) and jointing them.

I´ll post pics as soon as... well, as soon as I make them

I.soooooo envy your lovely cottage in the woods, reminds me of stuff from my own.childhood, cant wait to see pivs, also was on vaca myself, went.to the space center and sea world, will post pics if youd like to see

Saw this and HAD to take a pic lolllll

Ah ha.. so that's where you get all your army hiking gear

That's really sad about Pratchett - Alzheimer's is one of the most horrible things that can happen to a person. It just breaks your heart to think of it affecting anyone, let alone someone with such creativity and appreciation for imagination.

I had no idea he wrote from that humour/parody angle.. I though it was just straight fantasy. I'll definately keep him in mind should I ever decide to become a reader

Lol, unfortunately this year was more technique - aimed, not equipment fl did not find a single thing he would love to buy, it was more cars and guns than clothes and boots

No, it´s really far from being straight fantasy he´s one of the wittest and funniest fantasy writers for me the thing with the alzheimer is just fatal Everytime I think about it I feel like losing a great friend - I´m gonna miss his books damn much

He created a world I´ve fallen in love with, a world which is like an ironical mirror to our own. Still full of life and heart and humour. I have a friend who is no reader himself - I once bought him one of Terry´s books. Guess what... now he has 4 of them

And I call that a magic

Yes, I will, and I will tell you when I do.

I have a plasma TV but I don't use it. The internet has supplanted the television to a great extent. In fact, manufacturers of televisions (most notably the Japanese and firms like SONY) are really hurting right now.

You didn't have carpet? Carpet is a must for me, there is no other option. I never wear shoes at home! When I have guests, I order them to remove their shoes immediately

I don´t have carpet I would love to, but the garsonka is just all parquetry I love carpets, when we move to another place (our own) I want carpets all around. Here it´s a custom that people don´t wear shoes at home - is it different where you live?

I live in the city now, but I still love to visit family and friends that have one . Its always interresting to me to compare country and city life .

Which one do you prefer?

Chief Executive Officer, the highest decision-maker of corporate organizations. It's probably the most overrated job in America, and the management sciences have evolved to the point where we can train and deploy these officers in high level administration. Most of the most powerful ones are no longer individuals who rose through the ranks but rather are 'rent-a CEOs' from the big consulting firms and famous high level training institutions like General Electric Crotonville. It's gotten to the point that under US business law...CEOs and the upper managemnt class have evolved into some sort of embedded capitalist aristocracy.

Do you know some of them yourself?

I've read a good deal about the Third Reich since the administrative aspects of its economy, military, and government interest me. Its social history is frightening and fascinating all at the same time. The best source on Hitler is British Historian's 2-volume Biography and, in my opinion, Albert Speer (minister of armaments)'s autobio 'Inside the Third Reich'.

I have not read the Kersaw bio but I have skimmed through it. I've read Albert Speer's book.

Long story short, Hitler was a very complex figure embedded into a rigid political apparatus but he was in no way a functional or competent ruler of Germany. Hence the disaster to come.

As a complex figure, he was thoroughly a 'pseudo-philosopher-intellectual' that determined 'General policy' for Germany. As for specifics, he was completely incapable of any of it. The fulcrum of his ideology was an extreme obsession with Race and a thoroughly demented grasp of reality. But this unreality proved highly attractive to at least 1/3rd of the German electorate. In the end, he was just as much of a 'Cult Icon/Cult Leader' as he was a politician. He was a 'non-person' in this way.

He was, like most Nazi leaders, reasonably pleasant in person but also capable of giving out horrific orders.

Have you ever read Mein Kampf?

The natural, private economy is driven more by diffusion of innovation, secular innovative cycles, and the creation of new markets (and the ability to service them) that results from it rather than non-R&D government leadership. These secular cycles are born more from the sum product of history and they, in the main, do not readily appear by neither government intervention nor nonintervention.

These cycles disrupt and modify the current equilibriums permanently and cannot be reliably forecasted or fully understood. So however bleak, the objective nature has openings, Jennka. It only matters now that opportunities be seized and the people actually...try to build a legal framework where they can actually ...do work. The history of the East Asian Tigers and their rapid material development from 3rd to 1st world in the 20th-21st century- attest to this.

I don't know enough about Slovakia to give you an opinion, but I just don't buy these 'doomsday' proclamations over government debt that has been common in nearly every developed country. There are other types of debt, and other types of productive assets, and parochial focus on this as the only indicator obscures the scope of reality in my view.

As you said, you need the people to build this all - that´s why I´m saying people here need to grow. Most of them still lives in socialism. It´s something different here in Bratislava where people work their asses off and try to get some free time as well and balance it somehow and out in the villages where there is an absolutely different world. More weird is people keep forgeting about handicraft and everyone wants to be a "manager" which, too, is not a good way to go. Our universities are of low standards (in my opinion) and full of corruption. Our politicians are all just communists in disguise

However... the business keeps spinning for now. All in all I consider Slovak people to be very hard working people, very willing to learn new languages and use them. But you know that - an individual is intelligent - however the crowd is the stupidest thing ever.

btw your new set is phenomenal - do I sense a donbot´s masterpiece? it´s gorgeous.

^You know it! (Y) Yes it is..

Yeah, I´ve noticed you´re more of a one-woman man, and I adore that. I change my sets faster than socks (ok, this is a lie, but still it´s pretty fast) - there´s just so many models I love

I have to represent: :blueeyedbaby:

Hmmm I would like to represent the other side of Candice - the NON VS site which I adore much more

Me too. The VS stuff is so samey (aside, notably, from that "50's St. Tropez" style set of lingerie she did last year - more of that please VS), and she is so overexposed there that it's easy to forget she is in possession of versatility and talent. I think even the majority of her fans on her thread don't even appreciate that...

So agree here. They mostly seem to drool over her VS material (which is plenty off and still the same), and they are like "OK, as long as it´s Candice" or "Weeeird" on her HF stuff - I even read something like "Why did they make her so ugly!" on one runway pic I mean, c´mon, it´s fashion, it´s art! And Candice is a hella great canvas when she doesn´t try at all.

Oh, and great to be back

you run around a lot now?

No, I'm supposed to be learning how to work in a new (to me) area. People here, however, work at a much slower pace than I'm used to so I'm getting rather bored. I'll start bringing my laptop in soon and then I'll be back to normal but for the moment I do, at least, have to look interested!

Sorry for not responding so long

Has it gotten better now?

Ha, that he was. Maybe you should hand him a sandwich or something?

Holy smack...that's some good walking there. Gosh, how important it must be to find the right shoes or else there goes the feet :| Sounds like the first day is my kind of day. What u eat at the pub? As I'm so ever interested in good eats :brows:

Maybe the next bottle will entice u for a few drinks Yep, but at least insects are mostly protein. Surely it was nothing but of good nutritional value right? And if u think a worm in a bottle sounds great....try this below. A nice exotic touch to a once so ever innocent looking lolly pop

Mmmmm, now with 20% more venom!

Oh my never gonna lick that!

We usually eat the local specialities - which are not very different from Slovak specialities lol. I remember having a fried cheese with potatoe croquets and mayonnaise and vegetable, the others had a food called "kapustnica" or "vepřo-knedlo-zelo"

And yeah, good boots are everything. But eventhough I have great boots, my back and feet hurted as hell, especially after two days of non stop uphilling - my heels were dead, it hurted really much. I still have very hard and tough boots, they´re quite new.

Erika Kundrotaite: new love :chicken:

I found her while looking for Lithuanian teammates for Edita in the BZ cup of nations

What do you think?

I think you might like Auguste Abeliunaite too. She's still very young (18 this year), but what a face

Go team Lithuania :Dinah:

Both are absolutely stunning you just always find such beautiful new faces!!

I had to do some serious digging in the crates for this lol

How are you hun?

Yeah I was never all that into the oscars either.... just this year I was hoping my boy would get a nom haha... but he did not

Sooo books huh? What genre are you most into? Me... I love my mysteries Mary Higgins Clarke is my girl

Oh yeah I remember you had a "Tangled" set up once Though to me some of these Disney/ Pixar movies are starting to blend together but i'm still a sucker for a nice Disney movie every now and then

I´m finally more free to come to BZ

As for the books - I love fantasy / sci-fi books the most, especially if they are funny and intelligent and don´t take themselves too seriously. Recently I´ve fallen in love with Freud´s books and book on space - I´m reading Freuds´ Psychological Clinical Records and John Taylors´ Black Holes, both old books that still have much to say and are really interesting.

Terry Pratchett is my "big hero" when it goes to humorous fantasy books, I really love him - just like Peter S. Beagle. I´m also looking forward to reading Darwins´ The Voyage of the Beagle and On the Origin of Species, which both are waiting for me on my kindle

I just have sooo little time Yesterday I bought another Spanish textbook so I could understand the language more, and so far it seems really great - it´s written by a Slovak teacher, so it´s more understandable for me than these Spanish textbooks written by foreign authors - this one knows all the shoals of the Slovak language and how it translates into Spanish and back, so great.

So, too many books, no time to read them all:/

So you love mysteries - how about Stephen King?

Its funny how there's so much talk about people letting it rip on the elevator and such. On one hand, it is such an enclosed space, but when someone lets it rip on the stairs, some are kindof breathing hard and that air goes right into their nostrails . I've always preferred the stairs, but for some buildings you do have to get there faster than it would allow and no one wants to be smelly for the job of course. I never understood why people can't hold their gas in public anyway and if they're that weak, they should at least go to the bathroom for it.

Lol Joe you always come up with something that literally sits me in the chair I usually don´t mind someone letting it rip anywhere - I think I´m trained enough by fl and our friends who are sometimes quite hardcore when it goes to farts I take it as a natural and healthy thing, but of course try to act by the usual decorum and not let it go anywhere but when it happens to someone near me, I´m very tolerant

Nice to have you back Jennka

Well, glad that put you in the chair . Its good to hear you're so tolerant about it. You're definitely the one I need to see after a bowl of beans . I try to be fair and not judge based on the sound as a lot of people do, but the smell rather . Even if it smells bad though, I'm not going to say anything unless its someone I know and its in some way of joking with or ridiculing them .

^^ Haha, I can't believe you're talking about farting

Nice to have you back Jennka

Aaaw, that picture's so cute!

So agree here. They mostly seem to drool over her VS material (which is plenty off and still the same), and they are like "OK, as long as it´s Candice" or "Weeeird" on her HF stuff - I even read something like "Why did they make her so ugly!" on one runway pic I mean, c´mon, it´s fashion, it´s art!

I done made a drawring of Cadnice!

Nice to have you back Jennka

That is just SO beautiful

donny, I was thinking - because obviously you love good art, whether it´s photography or drawings - is there any classic painter (Old school) or modern one you really, really adore? Or are you like me - adoring douzens of them?
