Re-emerging As an Emerging Market (A MUST READ POST)
Re-emerging As an Emerging Market By Desmond Lachman (Washington Post) Back in the spring of 1998, when Boris Yeltsin was still at Russia's helm, I led a group of global investors to Moscow to find out firsthand where the Russian economy was headed. My long career with the International Monetary Fund and on Wall Street had taken me to "emerging markets" throughout Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America, and I thought I'd seen it all. Yet I still recall the shock I felt at a meeting in Russia's dingy Ministry of Finance, where I finally realized how a handful of young oligarchs were bringing Russia's economy to ruin in the pursuit of their own selfish interests, despite the supposed brilliance of Anatoly Chubais, Russia's economic czar at the time.The Wilding of Sarah Palin
By Robin of Berkeley November 24, 2009 http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/the_wilding_of_sarah_palin.html When I was in college, I read a book that changed my life. It was Susan Brownmiller's tome, Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape, which explained rape as an act of power instead of just lust. What I found particularly chilling was the chapter on war -- how rape is used to terrorize a population and destroy the enemy's spirit.On the Anniversary of Kennedy's Death, Extremism Lives On
What I find interesting about this is both how much has changed AND how much hasn't. The Letter: Tyler, Texas November 24, 1963 President Lyndon B Johnson The White House Washington D.C. Dear Mr. President: In this time of mourning and appreciating how very busy you are, I still must write about existing conditions here in East Texas, even if you are too busy to read this, because I feel it is my duty to do so.Dumbo University

"Repent," the preacher cried out, startling those who heard him. This was no street evangelist ranting at the passing crowd, but the archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England. His sharp admonition was pointed directly at a particular set of sinners, who undoubtedly had never given any thought to the morality of their actions: the barons of global banking.Rob's Q&A with Time Magazine
Seemingly overnight, Robert Pattinson went from playing Voldemort's roadkill in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to being the immortal half of one of the hottest screen couples of all time. He spoke with TIME about how he landed the role of Twilight's Byronic vampire Edward Cullen, what it's like to be a generational crush and how to walk unmolested along the streets of Vancouver.You took on an edgy vampire movie and it's become this. Did you know what you were signing up for?I had no idea it was going to be like this.

I picked up this book over the weekend at B&N and I must say: You. Must. Read.

life still go on.no matter. be it with you or without you. i must learnt to move on in life without you.There is always first time for everything...online shopping. Yes or No?
I always knew they existed - I have seen their chic dresses, sexy heels and cool tops. I am talking about Topshop. I got even excited when I found out that they opened a store in NYC, although I live in Denver, Colorado. I must say things come around a lot slower around here and don't get me wrong, there are nice stores here, but it's not to the point where they satisfy my fashion cravings.
This is when the beauty of online shopping comes in handy. My friend Sophie loves to shop online. She says that it's the best because she can buy things anytime,even in 2 in the morning, not have to worry about driving to the mall ( and not finding anything at the mall!!) and in most cases there's no sales tax and a little shipping and usually the return and exchange are easy.
I must say I was never comfortable of buying clothes online. Shoes and bags, I'm OK with. With clothes, things are different simply because every brand has slightly different sizing and all. Topshop seemed no exceptions. It's from UK, and I know sometimes the equivalent of those sizes can be confusing...( look at H&Ms!)
One day, as I was looking through tons of pictures as always - new trends, jackets and coats for fall and winter. And there it was. I fell in love with this striped knit jacket from Topshop. I looked at the price and fell in love with it even more - it's only $80!!
Knitted Stripe Jacket
$80.00 at Topshop
I had to go to the store - but wait, there is no Topshop here in Denver! As I envied those folks in NYC, I went online. I quickly navigated myself to look for the jacket and there it was! I want, I want! Pause. What is my size?
Suddenly, I was lost. I usually wear 2 or 4, depending on the brand. I have jackets and tops that run rather smaller and larger and what????? While all those thoughts kept going around my head, I looked up on the sizing chart. Hmmm....I think I am 4 but I don't want it to be too tight since it's a knit jacket....oh well, let's just order 6 in case and if it didn't fit, I'd just exchange it.
