Haiyaaa ...They're tapping, staking my heart or ... what? Last night I dreamed I saw Khodokovsky. (Saturday, 28 december 2013). This is not unusual. Perhaps because there is something in him after he got out of prison. More cool thing is, he's bald. Ahem ahem. And he's more suited to his bald head. Classy. I've said what my heart said a few days ago. Do not let Khodorkovsky go out from Ruusia political scene. But one thing, if he is capable to replace Putin, then do it by constitutional means. Mobilizing the masses to be bloodshed just to channel the people aspirations to the legitimate government is not characteristic of graceful Russia. Putin actually has a soft heart. He is quite argumentative and has a pretty good sense of the religious. So, do not be brutal and unconstitutional. Tell your aspirations beautifully, then the result will also be beautiful. And you, Kovsky, get ready! Mwah.
I asked my partner to not spoil me by giving items. I was bored with such rituals. I did not find any meaning of expensive gifts. Why do not you ask me what he bought for me at Christmas? And what I gave to my baby and him? Ehhehhe... it's not important for public gratification, Cisca!

This is a tough call: Do you burst their bubble, or let them live in blissful ignorance?

■ Phantoms in the sky: Triple sun shines in China. A rare celestial illusion of "triple suns" occurred in the sky over Chifeng, in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Friday morning. The sun, accompanied by two smaller twins, suddenly popped up in the sky, and the triple suns appeared surrounded by arched rainbow-like halos. The illusion is actually deemed a legitimate astronomical phenomenon, also known as a "phantom sun" or "ice halo." It only appears when ice crystals create high clouds in the air around 6,000 meters above ground, and produce reflected sunlight.
Wonderful. It seems, the natural phenomena also approves my dream comes true in part. All this time I forgot to include one more little sun in my life: my baby. Now all complete: I have three suns in my life. He, he and he. I am a prima donna among them. I'll type it later whether I'm very happy with this situation.

I have ears, but not all of the rhythm of music (although they are quite good according to others) can be accepted well by both of my ears. There are some rhythm -- which even from the intro -- always denied by my eardrum. They said, "Stop it! Your music may be good, but your music will be great if you stop singing it!"
Another song might be nice, but I do not know how to enjoy them.
You know music is heard with the ear but can only be understood by the soul. Some songs make me feel very old-fashioned in this world (example: do not like tattoos, do not like smoke, do not like alcohol, do not like the drugs, do not like to eat the flesh of animals, do not like naked in public, do not like same-sex marriage, do not like atheists, and other criteria of this world that says you are a modern and sophisticated man.} But I do not care about other people's views about me and my musical tastes. I'm sure I can still find them with the same type with me. The closest example: my partner. Although he does not like all kinds of music that I like, but at least he likes some types of music that I like.
Only he can understand I can throw up if I am forced to listen to music that makes me dizzy and nauseous, as well as when I shed tears because listening to the soul of certain musical instruments.

Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani was found not guilty by Pakistan's Supreme Court. However, he had to submit to the pressure and asked Switzerland to reopen the corruption cases against the President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari.
The assurance was given by Gilani lawyer, Aitzaz Ahsan indicated Yousuf Raza Gilani off from further confrontation with the courts when previously he agreed to come to court on Next Thursday. (01/26)
Pakistan's SupremeCourt has previously asked Gilani to open Ali Zardari's corruption cases. However, Gilani was ignoring it. Thus, the Supreme Court considers it was the contempt of court. "Asif Ali Zardari has complete immunity as president. There is no harm in writing a letter to the Swiss government. "He enjoys the immunity in Pakistan and abroad as long as he is president," said Ahsan told reporters on Wednesday (01/18).
Gilani's decision to appoint Ahsan as his lawyer had been seen as a gesture of reconciliation to the judiciary. Ahsan is a senior leader of Zardari's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and a prominent lawyer respected by the judiciary for its role in forcing the government to reinstate the independent judges in March 2009.
Ahsan said he did not believe Gilani would be punished. "I do not think the prime minister has been in contempt of court by not writing a letter. I will try to convince the court that the prime minister is not guilty" he said.

In addition to prey for seals, the polar bears also sometimes preyed their own cubs. The behavior was not much has been found previously. However, based on the latest report from Jenny Ross, a photographer in the journal Arctic in December last year, the behavior was increasingly common.
Ross explained that during the climate at the poles became warmer, some ice in the Svalbard archipelago was melted and broken. For polar bears, at the time was difficult times because it was difficult for them to hunt the seals.
"So, then, the young polar bears are the possible food source for the adult polar bears. As the climate continues to warm in the Arctic and the ice melts earlier in the summer, the frequency of predation in one species is increasing," said Ross as quoted by the Daily Mail, Thursday (December 8, 2011).
Ross added that the polar bear began to look for other food alternatives. "On the land, polar bears find the garbage and human food. They also began to eat the seabirds and their eggs. None of the alternatives could support them," she said.
One moment of a polar bear mother that took her cub was photographed by Ross while on an expedition to the archipelago of Svalbard. She saw how the polar bear mother was biting her cub with her teeth and her jaw strength, threw it to the ice surface and finally it was eaten.
While there are many conditions that accelerate the melting of ice at the poles, such as climate change, polar bears are become seriously threatened. Now it's not just about their adaptability at higher temperatures, but about the food crisis which can spur the cannibalism and can lead to extinction. There must be an action to address this.

BBC's HARD TALK
Steve McQueen: Sex addiction destroys lives
Some of the celebrity world was rumored to have an addiction to sex. Sex addiction is described as a progressive disorder characterized by the compulsive sexual thoughts and actions. Some experts call this disorder is a type of mental disorder, while others dub it as an aberration of personality. Those who are classifies as the sex addicts are very prone to have sex with dangerous sexual dating, despite knowing its bad effect.
Here are some signs of sex addiction, as quoted by the Times of India.
1. Double standards: Most of the times without realizing, the person starts living a secret sex life. You become a compulsive cheater, go to strip clubs and watch loads of pornography.
2. Personal relations getting strained: The person just cannot manage his major relationships with ease. There are loads of lies and another side to the person.
3. Risks are fun: Taking risks like trying to be overtly intimate at public places or in fact trying to have sex where you could end up in legal issues. It gives you a high.
4. Feeling guilty: Even though living their double life is fun for them, but when guilt sets in they go in a complete reclusive mode and blame themselves often bordering depression.
5. Constant look-out for sex toys: So kinky is the way they always think like. Something new, something weird gets them going. But hold on, your partner might not approve with a lot of sex toys you want to use during your act. Your mind might always be preoccupied with these thoughts.
6. Keep law at bay: You can get into serious trouble with the law because of your risky behavior. Getting caught in compromising positions at the wrong places is not only embarrassing but will also tarnish your reputation.
7. Intrusive sex: This is one of the most visible signs of a sex addict. Intrusive sex is touching people here and there in a sexual manner where there is no physical intercourse and the other person is completely unwilling or at times not even aware.
8. Fantasizing someone: While fantasizing someone is common, obsessing about someone is not. This will surely affect your daily functioning and other activities putting you in a tight spot.
9. Irresponsible sex: When involved with multiple partners, there should be some responsibility with respect to the protection that is used. With STDs spreading at an alarming rate, the least you can do is be truthful to the person.
Expert talk
Sexologist, Dr Dhananjay Gambhire feels that it is acceptance by the person which is the first step to the get out of this situation, "A person will keep indulging in these pleasurable activities till the time they are caught. They will just not change their behaviour till the time they come under the scanner. His/her partner's support and motivation are definitely required in such a situation. More than often experts are required in such situations. There are medicines that are given to control your sexual behaviour and they do help a lot."

Flat breasted women
Suckle babies at milkless breasts.
Pot bellied black people walk
Skeletally on stiltlike legs -
Bowls clutched tightly in swollen hands.
A clean shaven, overweight newsman
Walks past the barely living and the very dead.
Corpses are carried in sackcloth coffins
To their final resting places
In red, dry earth.
Bodies waste thinner,
Flies grow fatter,
Eating decaying flesh
Seen by visionless eyes.
I sit shaken, unable to assist
Whilst I finish off my take-away Korma,
Rounded off with a Wall's Cornetto!

Founder and organizer of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Klaus Schwab said, capitalism now requires a complete overhaul.
According to Schwabm, the annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, which will be held on 25 January next should result in the development of a new model of capitalism to revive the style of social responsibility. "Right now the capitalism has no place in the world around us," he said as reported by AFP (Jan 18, 2012)
He admitted, WEF has failed to learn from past financial crises in 2008-2009, so a global transformation was needed to be done as soon as possible and had to begin by restoring the form of social responsibility. WEF annual meeting of the 42 next week would be opened by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Schwab said the WEF would discuss about the German which has lowered the projected growth in Europe in the middle of the eurozone debt crisis. He also mentioned that the problem of capital was not a determining factor in driving the economy forward. He also believed in the existence of free trade. "Currently we are in danger and actually lost the trust of future generations," he explained.
The leaders who will attend the WEF meeting are the British Prime Minister David Cameron, the President of Nigeria Goodluck Jonathan, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund Christine Lagarde, European Central Bank Governor Mario Draghi, and Director-General of the World Trade Organization Pascal Lamy.
WEF committee has also invited some of the latest world leader, the PM Tunisia Hamadi Jebali and Thai PM Yingluck Shinawatra who have tried to bridge the gap between generations. Meanwhile, representatives from the Myanmar government will also attend the meeting for the first time.
However, the committee doesn't invite the representatives from groups such as the anti-capitalist activists Cccupy Wall Street even though the group never said willing to get involved with pro capitalist.
The story of British secret service agent James Bond is only one in the film that inspires the novel by Ian Fleming. However, the advanced tooling of this flamboyant man is not a figment.
In 2006, a program that aired on Russian television showed the footage of a man who attempted to take the stone from snowy street in Moscow. A moment later he went to bring the stones. The man, according to Russian intelligence agency FSB was a British spy. Similar objects such as rocks was saving the high-tech communication devices.
Russian Intelligence Agency said the equipment maker were four spies posing as diplomats at the British Embassy in Moscow. When the report was aired six years ago, the UK government was denying it. But, the adage of "time will tell" applied in this case.
Jonathan Powell, the first Downing Street Chief of Staff under British Prime Minister Tony Blair provided the confirmation of the truth of this Bond-style action in Russia on Thursday (January 19, 2012).
"They (Russia) really cornered us at that time. Obviously, they already knew about it for some time and has kept it for political purposes," Powell told the BBC on Thursday (1/19). Tony Brenton, British ambassador to Moscow in 2006, agreed with Powell. "Russians choose the time carefully and politically it is very damaging."
On the other hand, Blair declined to comment on the scandal, while he quoted the old policy of the state which was reluctant to comment on intelligence issues. Blair confirmed the British government never confirmed the Russian allegations. Similarly, the British Foreign Office which is responsible for the existence of the MI6 spy agency in another country, declined to comment on Powell's statement.
Espionage scandal was the subject of the conflict Britain and Russia during the Cold War. Espionage scandal is the subject of the conflict Britain and Russia during the Cold War. Although the intensity is now reduced, but the relationship between the two countries remain strained in recent years due to allegations of covert operations.
Even Russia was furious because Britain refused to extradite the former KGB intelligence agency that became the main suspect of Alexander Litvinenko's murder in 2006. Litvinenko was the Kremlin's opposition who was poisoned in London.
In addition to exposing the fake stone tactics, Russia also revealed that Britain secretly fundes the state's opposition groups. The British government also recognized that they were openly in support of the Russian's NGO which active in fighting for human rights and civil society issues.

The European Union has scheduled a new economic sanctions on Iran, on Monday afternoon (23 January 2012) European time. Sanctions against Iran was a response to a nuclear program, including measures to embargo oil products from Iran. The sanction is following the financial measures issued by U.S. President Barack Obama in recent years. Sanctions will be about 90 percent of Iran's oil exports to Europe.
Western countries believe the Iran's nuclear program is to create a nuclear bomb, whereas Iran insists it is only for electricity generation. In addition to plans for an embargo on Iranian oil, the European Union is also preparing measures to impose sanctions against the Central Bank of Iran, also prohibits the trade in gold with the Iranian government.
However, it seems imposing sanctions by the EU is difficult to apply quickly. In the meeting of 27 EU member states, Greece and the countries in southern Europe want the extra time. Greece for example is very dependent on Iranian oil, with about 25 percent of oil needs from Iran. So Greeks needs time to find the new oil sources. However, EU diplomats said the extra time wouldn't exceed the July 1, 2012.
If the Iranian oil's out of the Western countries, then there's an opportunity for the rising in world oil prices.

Earlier, the top leader of the main opposition party Kadima claimed the Israeli's attack on Iran "will occur more quickly."
Paul Craig Roberts warned if the Iran war occured then the life of mankind on earth could end. Craig Roberts said the U.S. would blame Israel if Iran War occurred. According to him, warning brought by the U.S. to Israel not to attack Iran was a U.S. attempt to avoid responsibility. "If the war broke out, Russia and China would intervene, and the nuclear began to fly. Washington wanted to blame Israeel and Israel seemed willing to be blamed," said Robert Craig.
Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. has sought to convince the leaders of Israel not to take military action to invade Iran. However, the request was responded to by the Isarel leaders flatly. "If Washington really does not want war with Iran, it will not provide the necessary weapons required by Israel and it will not be deployed thousands of its troops to Israel," said Craig Roberts. According to him, if Washington does not want war with Iran, it will not build a missile defense system for Israel and will not conduct military exercises with Israel, but recently the U.S. plans for the war exercises with Israel.

This year, Chinese New Year coincided with the date January 23, 2012 AD. The Feast of 2563 can be called special because it symbolized by the dragon. Dragon zodiac replaces the Rabbit zodiac in the previous year in the calculation of the Lunar calendar (Chinese Lunar Calendar). Year of the Dragon's this time is the water dragon's year because the sky's stem with positive water element (ren) and branches of earth with positive earth elements (Chen), academic term in the science of feng shui is called Ren Chen's year.
The dragon is believed by the Chinese as the king of the animals. The dragon is a symbol of strength, power, and bravery. In addition, the dragon also ensures the safety of Chinese citizens. That way, Chinese New Year 2563 is considered to have a strong meaning for Chinese citizens.
In this year there are some things which, according to the calculations of experts needs to be done or avoided. The positive stem of the sky (positive) with positive branch of the earth (positive) has a destructive relationship because the soil to stem the water, so this year gives an overview of disharmony in the life on earth. However, this disharmony is better if compared with the year of the Metal Rabbit in 2011.
According to feng shui practitioners, there are some predictions that will happen this year. Among these are the natural hazards such as earthquakes and floods. That's because Chen (dragon) also symbolizes the water warehouse. In 2012 the rainfall is also expected to still be high until the end of April or early May. It is estimated, very heavy rain occurred in November and December up to January and February 2013. The earthquake need to be aware in July and October 2012. This year will be marked by a series of surprises and great natural reaction. Starting from the floods, tsunamis, landslides, volcanic eruption, earthquake, to a variety of transportation accidents. Such disasters is a symbol of the dragon rampage in 2012.
The number of disasters is the way of the earth react to what is done by the inhabitants, especially the human. Because of this, the human must maintain the preservation of the earth with a simple way of life, that is not to excessively exploit the earth. Maintain and utilize our earth wisely will make our lives more optimal.
Although there is the threat of a disaster, still there is also an excitement in this Water Dragon year. Even this year promises much excitement and hope, especially for couples who are getting married, have children, or open a new company. Because the dragon is a powerful and helpful will bring luck and happiness for many people.
Predictions about the fortunes and fate of human in the Water Dragon's year is dependent on the personality of each individual, because the blessing will come for those who want to try, regardless of any religion or nation.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Congratulations, and may we all have a lot of sustenance.
