UN e parvo. A many years ago, Mike makes me a fat favor. At the entrance of my square he put one woman, a little afraid, telling me “I like four”. In that period of my life, I walk a really miserable. Now I am miserable, but with changed attitude in this respect. That time I was anger with me, with the Co, with suicidal perspective to think about the distance between me and decision makers. And how this distance was completely controlled by the Liberia University level of body-guards. And he, like the friendly people, does make me open my eyes, and showing that the most impossible situation has a “fire escape doors”. In which, with simple arithmetic’s every nut can be cracked. Remembering this lesson helps to clear up this, Co’s jock. Speaking about the two man from ‘Cери я’ received by the MNEshnikish of pan-european, ‘cosmic’ bunch of ongoing piggy faces from Brussels and Strasburg, and actively thinking to put this in “good use”. I don’t know if it’s good to talk here about desperate situation of EU with енерго-носители, about the France logic growing hegemony in Mediterranean economic community, about the Germany with banana, plus “one more banana from Russia” taking in this way the engine from her. The visit of World’s limbs (i.e. Italy) to Gaddafi and big fuss here because of this. Persistence from f**** almohads (I.e. Spain, Portugal) to through my “what you do to find the job” – come to theirs, f**** almohads roots. Speak about it or not, facts talk for themselves. Important to underline here, the muon like a first stone in the Brussels and Strasburg “building”. Which show that elementar particle, in theirs case – the Bi lateral talks, conversations, chatters, natters, Bi lateral Agreements, the essential, the Basel II Interbank Agreement –lost meaning. To don’t say “in taters”. It’s like that shoemaker without shoes, como omelets sem ovos, like that ‘enemy combatant’ without limbs. Just the ongoing piggy faces without енерго-носителeй. Can be a real problem if not the universal philosophy of “заткни”, “plug-it”, “rolha ela”, etc. Well, the scenario of Ananda Balasana… Because the only this language is in use by this Barroso, Solana pirates with theirs body-guards Misters Abramovitch and Deripaska of terms, pre-conditions and level of knowledge. Which any one have the “imagination” enough to put in practical use. Who never se before the three-to-one sexual act? A PRETO. Come to mind the naïve (?) play of Total. When theirs RD make huge announcement tailored to my CV, i.e. my previous experience in oil, gas and petrochemicals “called” Reference 300. Was in internet, was in The Times and in The Economist. Shame is that I was too much stupid to “bite”. In any way, all this was a many years ago. Now, by the counsel of wise mans, I am much more changing man. More old, smugger, and much more unforgettable. People (I don’t talk about me. Because, with me is more simple: Or me or this f**** almohads race), go to remember for many centuries “A copo de aqua”, “A a minha despença” and “O meu coronel (Commander in Chief of UFOR with ebalo of almohads clown saving private Ryan’, etc.) And than holding his heart in his arms run to the Chile look for clean 5 off-shores in the beach “Do Rainha de Isabel”… Speaking in this way, like to emphasize the fact that the philosophy of the “bica” make almost impossible for them to use the ‘two limbs acquired in Cuba’ for any use in any of theirs Real Federación Española de Fútbol. Whatever is theirs Political Right connotation. I told you, it’s not just the outstanding financial debts with me; it is theirs phalanges “de nascence”. In natural way, want to speak a little bit more about the Germany – Israel meeting. It is one thing to trust someone, another to place total, blind faith in this someone. Than, it is not a gesture of trust, it is, like the case of the Germany and Israel – an abdication of responsibilities. Good God that “жидівочка” was wearing the shadows. Explaining in this way that I can take some risks with my faith. As with all rest of the risks I ever take. Make it only a gamble that I know I can recover from in the unlikely event that it should fail. (I.e. Mai da todas as guerras). Whether it become problematic to connect, reconnect or disconnect the ‘Policy Making’ and ‘CV broking’ of these days. When the position of Europe, Asia, South Pacific and Africa, the Middle East and Estonia, all with tight supervision of “rusia petroleum” speaking in Georgian from America – only to offering me an Alghai (i.e. верблюжью колючку)… Even not the Sakura (i.e. Japanese kanji, cherry), but yes, the shahidku Valiu at the age of +/-5 years, running directly to my legs (and not the first time) with (wild guess) which finality. Mean, the book of “Russia and Police for dummies”… Or again, the clean 5 off-shores in Miller understanding. Well, dear “medvedevs” and “putins”, я же вам подал двух body-guards (i.e. Formosa and Ostende Max; schroder and barroso; Nikita and Nirint; козлы martynenko; rementchuk and zhuravlevitch; etc.) – now, collect the poles, set up the teams, fly with Rome’s Papa and радуйтесь пока я добрый… See for yourselves. meus caro senhores, you can have an entire armory at you disposal (even the Cuban missals), but if you don’t know how to employ the firepower, you’ll be like that “squirrel from Danzig Corridor” – and this won’t help you win your battle. On the other hand (it is now for me), if my aim is true and my target is carefully chosen, I can accomplish all I need to with a simple “shot”.

Tiffany quarterly profit falls less than expected. Tiffany & Co. profit fell less than analysts estimated in the three months ended July 31, helped by higher than expected sales and lower expenses, Bloomberg reported. Net income declined to $56.8 million from $80.8 million, the New York- based company said today in a statement. Revenue shrank 16% to $612.5 million in the three months ended July 31, beating the $600.7 million average of analysts’ estimates in aBloomberg survey. Tiffany raised its annual profit forecast, the report said. Sales at US stores open at least a year decreased 27% after declining 34% in the previous quarter. Jewellery sales have fallen as international tourism slowed, Wall Street cut jobs and home values declined. Selling, general and administrative costs fell 14%, after Tiffany reduced marketing spending and offered early retirement to employees, said the report. “There is no doubt this is an earnings beat and I think the primary factor is the cost reductions,” David Schick, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in Baltimore, said in a telephone interview with Bloomberg. “The company took a hard look at expenses and the business has stabilized to some extent sequentially.” “It appears to us that the tide may be slowly turning in our favor,” Mark Aaron, a company spokesman, said on a conference call with investors and analysts. Selling, general and administrative expenses fell to $247.9 million from $287.5 million. Robert Drbul, an analyst with Barclays Capital in New York, projected $254.6 million. Tiffany raised its annual profit forecast to as much as $1.75 a share from a previous maximum of $1.60, and projected sales would decline 10% versus 11% previously. Sixteen analysts estimated annual profit of $1.58 on average, the report said. Bloomberg.

http://www.vz.ru/politics/2009/8/29/322450.html Оружие пустыни. Саудовская Аравия готовится подписать с Россией рекордные военные контракты Саудовская Аравия вскоре подпишет несколько контрактов на закупку российской боевой техники. Речь идет о вертолетах разных модификаций, танках Т-90С, БТР и зенитных ракетных систем. Общая сумма сделки составит 2 млрд долларов. До конца года Эр-Рияд приобретет вертолеты Ми-171, Ми-35 и танки Т-90С. Военный бюджет страны в следующем году увеличится до 44 млрд долларов. До последнего времени Саудовская Аравия закупала технику в западных странах. Саудовская Аравия готовится подписать разом несколько контрактов по покупке российского оружия на сумму до 2 млрд долларов. Об этом «Интерфаксу» сообщил источник в оборонно-промышленном комплексе. Отметим, что разговоры о заключении подобных контрактов ведутся последние два года, однако, если верить полученной информации, сделка теперь приобретает реальные очертания и стороны подпишут взаимовыгодные контракты. Саудовская Аравия собирается закупить до 150 вертолетов (30 Ми-35 и до 120 вертолетов Ми-17 различных модификаций), более 150 танков Т-90С, порядка 250 боевых машин пехоты БМП-3, несколько десятков зенитных ракетных систем и комплексов. «По ряду этих контрактов все технические и финансовые вопросы уже практически согласованы, по другим ведется работа», - утверждает источник, добавляя, что сначала будут подписаны контракты на поставку вертолетов и танков. По вертолетам Ми-171, Ми-35 и танкам Т-90С сделки могут быть заключены «уже в этом году». Источник рассказал еще о начале переговоров о возможной закупке Саудовской Аравией новейших зенитных ракетных систем С-400 «Триумф» и боевых вертолетов Ми-28. Но каковы перспективы этих контрактов, не уточняется. По словам источника, военные специалисты Саудовской Аравии внимательно изучали возможности российского оружия, прежде чем решили его приобрести. Группы экспертов несколько раз приезжали в Россию. Более того, «Рособоронэкспорт» провел испытания танка Т-90С в Саудовской Аравии, и машина очень хорошо зарекомендовала себя «при действиях в условиях пустыни». Не секрет, что активному развитию военно-технического сотрудничества России и Саудовской Аравии способствовало подписание в 2007 году межправительственного соглашения по ВТС. Это произошло при президенте Владимире Путине. До этого соглашения оружейный рынок Саудовской Аравии был практически закрыт для России. В октябре того 2007 года французские СМИ сообщали, что Эр-Рияд подписал соглашение на закупку более 150 российских вертолетов Ми-35 (по классификации НАТО - Hind) и Ми-17 (Hip) на сумму более 2 миллиардов долларов. На оружейном рынке Саудовской Аравии доминируют западноевропейские страны во главе с Соединенными Штатами. На их долю приходится до 55% всех поставок, а США – более 40%. Оборонный бюджет Саудовской Аравии составляет более 33 млрд долларов. Ожидается, что в 2010 году он увеличится до 44 млрд долларов. Американское агентство The Associated Press попыталось получить комментарии от «Рособоронэкспорта» по поводу последней информации о готовящихся сделках, но его представители были недоступны. Возможно, сделка по покупке российских вертолетов могла быть заключена намного раньше. Однако в середине лета сообщалось, что представители Саудовской Аравии долго изучают вопрос комплектации вертолетов современной авионикой компании «Транзас», которая предлагает интегрированный бортовой комплекс вертолета ИБКВ-17.
Record-breaking sheep sells for price of a small house. As the most expensive sheep in the world, there is one thing Deveronvale Perfection can be sure of – at £231,000, he will never be made into lamb chopsThe Texel shocked the agriculture world after selling for the astronomical sum at a livestock auction in Scotland. The sale broke the last UK record of around £134,000 for a Texel tup - or ram - in 2002 and even the world record for a sheep in Australia in the 1980s. But the lamb could make its new owner a good return, and go on to be worth millions after selling his progeny around the world. The sheep was sold by Graham Morrison for 220,000 guineas - or £231,000 - at the Scottish National Texel Sale at Lanark Market on Thursday. The February-born tup lamb, bred by embryo transfer, is the offspring of one of the breed’s leading tups, Kelso Oxygen, and a champion ewe, Knock Magnum. It was bought by breeder Jimmy Douglas of Cairness, Aberdeenshire who as not available for comment on Friday.
Belarusian jet crashes at Polish air show, 2 dead. 08/30/2009 11:16:20 AM MDT
WARSAW, Poland—A Belarusian fighter jet crashed Sunday during an air show in central Poland, killing both pilots on board the two-seater plane, officials said. The Su-27 jet went down while performing maneuvers at a festival in Radom, 65 miles (105 kilometers) south of Warsaw. Footage broadcast on state television in Poland showed the plane turning in the air, then dropping behind trees. A giant cloud of black smoke appeared on the horizon. The Su-27 was not near the tarmac or crowds attending the air show when it crashed. The two Belarusian pilots were killed, the air show's organizers said in a statement. A joint Polish-Belarusian panel of experts was investigating the cause. The Belarusian Defense Ministry said the crash was likely caused by birds becoming entangled in an engine. When the plane began to lose altitude during a stunt flight, the pilots "did not eject and steered the plane away from the town, avoiding graver consequences at the cost of their lives," ministry spokesman Vyacheslav Remenchuk said. He identified the pilots as Col. Alexander Morfitsky and Col. Alexander Zhuravlevich. He said Morfitsky was deputy commander of an air force unit in western Belarus, and Zhuravlevich was deputy commander of a fighter base. The jet was one of two Belarusian planes taking part in the show. The other aircraft was a transport plane.
