ONLINE TODAY

► 12 March 2014 : You need to work out some of this great energy -- so go have an adventure! It may be at work or out in the wild, but your amazing vigor is a sight to behold. Others are quite impressed! You didn't choose your family like you did your friends, but you still have a certain amount of responsibility when it comes to their well-being. Try to be as helpful as possible. Accept responsibility for your mistakes, admit when you're wrong and accept any apologies headed your way. Taking the first step down the path of reconciliation isn't as difficult as you think. This is your chance to set things straight between you and an estranged relative, and you should make the most of this opportunity.

► 13 March 2014 : It's definitely time for bold action -- so step up and make sure that your people are really paying attention. Things should start to get really interesting sometime in the late afternoon. You're more observant than usual, especially when you stand to benefit from your discoveries. Your eyes are open wide and nothing escapes your gaze. This is a great day for detective work. You find it easy to stay one step ahead of those around you. You shine with an inner light. The excitement that surrounds you motivates everyone else to have a more positive attitude.



What's this? Just pat your cheeks? To show your charm?

(Ahhahaa... Whose charm, Cisca? Is not he like a monkey who likes to always talk? Haaa.. maybe he' s doing facial exercises for his mouth. Maybe he occasionally feels very tired with what has been done by his mouth to himself.)

Important note: A handsome bald man in the video above has a warm soul as warm as the sun on a quiet morning.

(Stop praising him, Cisca! I'm afraid you can truly love him after you initially just fall in love with him virtually, ... Ouille! C'est chouette, hein?)

You think the earth is actually beautiful? Please do not feel too safe, because we will never think whether the "Earth's silence" is completely silent. Mmm maybe the earth is indeed silent, just humans who like to make a lot of noise in it, but see what's behind the silence of the earth. The houses, the people, we, can be swallowed by the bowels of the earth, while the Earth is also unwittingly trouble us too, occasionally, letting the space objects to stop by and visit us even for a moment, ... well, just for a moment, and .... boom! ... Dead. Forever. Is there still another story?

Can you imagine it, we step on the land which turns out to engulf us? Where can we go? Fly? Already done, and quite frankly, every time I do a trip by plane I feel I have left the earth with all its complexity down there (Bye everything) -- and you, dahling, please, you do not need to show your moodiness in front of me when I will go a few days, but then you unpack my closet after I leave you... ehhhee... maybe you want to find out whether I still keep the mystery in between our openness -- but then after being high in the sky, wow wow wow...my goodness, who am I then? Someone who is traveling with still keeps the mystery and then I also have an opportunity to be swallowed by this earth mystery? For example: Going by plane and eaten by the sky to then be thrown back to the ground after I die.

What kind of this mystery? Is not it already too obvious to be known? Dead.

Eehhehee ... Stop your cynicism, Cisca! Do you like mysteries? Can not live without mystery? And now you're lying so clearly, you say? Die, all right, you have died. Seen. You do not breathe anymore. Silence. Well, no more mystery, you say? Now you're dead, but I tell you, do not worry. You will keep a mystery, because after your death, I do not know where you're going to.

Ahahhaa ... ... what is this scene? A boy who will prefer to live with his ​​father than his mother who is flirting with another man? Weee... more or less ... haa,... maybe the child custody for the couple who will file divorce? And the funny thing is, if Crimea choose Russia, why is the U.S. upset with Russia? ahahhaa ...America, you should be angry at Ukraine, because even if you manage to get Ukraine but she is a kind woman who is willing to lose her son as long as she can always be with you. Blah!

America, please do not feel so proud because you think you are handsome for Ukraine, because after all you know who and what you are, but in my humor personification, Ukraine is a woman who does not have a principle of life and self-consistency. Think carefully about whether you really want her or you just like the fight with Russia just to get a woman with self quality self : below average.

And you, America, do not be upset if --- even though she is a soft-headed woman -- Russia still loves Ukraine. Why? Because they are one family. They are brothers. Some things in their history course are beyond your reach. So, let them solve their own problems. You can still be a hero by doing something else, for example: maintaining the world peace by not interfering in other countries' affairs, okay?

Ah, the mental attitude of a sycophant will always love rhetorical statement. Ukraine, you are like Libya in Europe. You love and are proud of a foreign power in your country. You are a kind of tail without head. Venezuela has even more pride than you. You know one thing, Ukraine? You're pathetic. Shameless! You are the type of state that is proud of the big countries sovereignty but unknowingly you let your country be in another country foot. Now you are a member of  the U.S. slaves. Welcome to the world of slavery under the guise of modernization. Hooray!

America, do not forget to ask lots of intervention cake from Ukraine, okay?

The more you want from the conflict in Ukraine is to see Russia stepping with less confident because of stumbles by little pebble in its path, right? Why? Because you know: Russia is always full of confidence in bringing itself in every forum and international events, including overcoming the friction of its foreign policy. Russia is very elegant in showing its temperament to anyone. Russia knows what is appropriate clothing to wear in every different occasion, unlike you who always feel proud to wear the Tarzan outfit in a UN meeting -- for example --, eehehhee ... and with wild temperament you chew the raw meat like a hungry tiger, speak out while showing off your big canine teeths and pat your chest, saying, "America!

■ The beauty of scars - Model veterans of breast cancer and war. The beauty of scars: David Jay's 'honest' portraits of imperfect beauty. Photographer David Jay didn't set out to document scars. It all started with one photograph of a friend who underwent a mastectomy at the age of 28. Soon he began to take pictures of other young women with different stages of breast cancer, and the SCAR Project was born. These searing portraits - of both men and women - show the physical reality of a disease that most people never see. His next project, the Unknown Soldier, is a similarly raw look at severely wounded veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Jay told the BBC he hopes his portraits will make people think about their interactions with others and give some perspective on what defines beauty.

International law? Ah, stop using that term when what he meant is just, "Fear ye to the U.S.!" Why does he not explain the term "coup" in the opposition action to depose Yanukovich? If the Ukraine people want reform, go ahead, why not? But remember: not by way of supporting the illegal changes to the existing conditions. Yanukovych is still the legitimate president of Ukraine, even though he is practically no power. I see there is no Russia needs to use military force in the Crimea region, but Russia will use its forces to protect civilians in the Ukraine, particularly the Russia ethnic in the east and south of the country. Russia will not fight with the citizens of Ukraine, you know?

What is so difficult for them to understand this? If Russia takes a decision, it's only to protect the citizens of Ukraine. There is no scenario that Russian troops will be fired at women and children. Russia will secure its right to use military force in the Crimea as a final solution. Please do not exaggerate the facts reporting. Smart media will always simplify the difficult things, and not to complicate simple things, okay?

Does Obama think he is president of all countries of the world? Ah, it looks like he does not know anything about international law, for example: he was just speechless over Gaza war in 2008. Answer me, "No violations of international law committed by Israel at the time, hm?"

Do not listen to Obama, I feel he deserves to retire early. Can't you see that the U.S. is the biggest violator of international law?

The problem is the U.S. has always felt it is the greatest country in the world and thinks that it is the embodiment of international law.

So the U.S. has always thought that to any country, anywhere, at any time, the U.S. can conduct violation if it wants a situation to be formed, although it must violate international law. Because --- according to its fantasies --- the U.S. is the embodiment of the law as well as the best law enforcement in the world. But if other countries do the same, the U.S. then shamelessly points its finger and says, "You have violated international law!"

Finally, the U.S. seems so annoying to certain circles, because there is the impression the U.S. does not introspective, arbitrarily, big mouth, fond of nonsense, has no self-consistency and arrogant, whereas, we know the U.S. economy is already dilapidated.

Posing rich and arrogant, whereas indeed it's poor and jerk : that's the U.S.!
