Europe's identity crisis 3:45pm on 27 Nov 2009 democracythreat, you should understand, :o) .
you've also travelled far, before you found your "Switzerland".

that's of course a crime what Russia did to her babies in 1917, to cast away so many people - and look for your fortunes elsewhere - how you please.

And for a Russian to live in Western countries - (and where else? in Saudi Arabia? we don't understand them :o)) - to live, among Westerners, through the 20th century - it's the same as for a German out of nazi Germany fresh in 1945 to live in another country and try to convince people around "how nice my motherland is".

With the fix and square the USSR was squared and fixed in the common notions' field in the USA and Western Europe - just dare to say
"I am Russian and I don't regret it!"

More of Georgiano Bruno kind of statement :o)))

At best you will get:
"yes yes yes, poor darling, but this will pass as a bad dream, you'll eventually forget about it, now, be a good girl and.."

Russians abroad during the glorious 20th century were awful squared and pressed - not by someone in particular, but by the general arrangement of the lay-out.

Many forgot themselves; name of these is - Legion.

Just the other day came across copying old Ansoff marketing matrix.
"Ansoff - the founding father of strategic management".
Written in Russian as "Ansoff" - ff.
American 100% who doubts.

Igor Ansov, born in Vladivostok...in 1918.. smth... emigrated in 1936... bla-bla-bla....

Look at the google's modern "founding father". He won't skip an interview without adding at the end "damn how lucky I am I got out of Russia and cast its ashes off my feet!" :o))))
A pre-requisite for success. the minimum requirement :o))))
Europe's identity crisis 3:28pm on 27 Nov 2009 maria-ashot, may be it's because America these days became more uncompromising? Either you become American or else :o)))
If one wants to preserve own "Russian-ness" - it seems you tend to gravitate towards Europe.
Franco-German power 3:08pm on 27 Nov 2009 that's what I meant; 117-118-119. I am sorry but for an outsider it looks exactly this;
one side says - YOU MUST!
the other: - I WON'T I WON'T I WON'T!

one side: You behave like a baby! throwing ? tantrums! Live in the fairy-tale world - open your eyes - look at statistics :o)))))) - how unmature!

the other side: And you behave like a policeman! Assuming the "grown-up", all-knowing role! How dare you?

All those scares, "you'll regret; you'll come ask for a piece of bread, glass of water - but will be too late! You've lost 0.5 % :o)))) on the tempo on getting out of crisis, as compared to the clever others. AND - your masters in the USA have left you ho ho ho :o)))))) You DON't have and "special relationship" he-he-he - but only us - as your friends - to rely upon!"

LOL!

What do you expect after that, from the contra-EU campus? That they say "yes please give us 3 crusts of bread :o))) we are very sorry, silly us clever you
I mean

No, I understand of course, that one can't move one's case forward without bringing in arguments, but the attitude of the "press" is very bizarre - and hopes to convince in that manner are also bizarre.
A press can only press in sailors. I thought.
Sorry, none of my business, but you can't not to interfere, seeing how it goes on.
Franco-German power 1:14pm on 27 Nov 2009 oj Mavrelius, I was very ungrateful, you did place a recepie. I just missed it. Sorry sorry sorry.
_________________________

cool-brush-work you've also missed a thing :o) In the military discussions with StandEu. At that very @96 in the beginning he wrote

"they (the UK) HAVE RIGHT TO DO SO (not to want to be deeply involved in the EU) as the EU is organisation OF COOPERATION NOT DICTATORSHIP"

Now, I understand that in the great scheme of events this doesn't change much :o))) - but notice the first ever difference in attitude, at least I haven't seen anything of the sort here in the EU-nonEU discussions.

Finally, words of a man, not of a boy!

:o))))
Franco-German power 02:36am on 27 Nov 2009 My half-brother, though, cooks. I even gave him a frying pan, as a birthday present :o)))) the other year. I don't know, if a thought stirred up in him, that it's not very, how to say :o))) classic. If it did - he didn't show it :o)))).
Franco-German power 02:30am on 27 Nov 2009 Mavrelius, I don't know why ours won't cook. BTW BBQ-s they would, but that's clearly your latest influence. Combined with on-going pressure from Caucasus, where men make "shashlyk" - same barbeque, basically, for centuries. Grilled meat. If not for the Georgians and Armenians, and recent TV American movies, ours wouldn't touch a barbeque either.

The excuse they must have fo themselves in this case, can be "it's not kitchen, it's outdoor." :o))))

May be, because kitchen is "female tsardom" - but as it depends on me - Jesus Christ! I am not posessive and proprietory. :o))) I shall myself "die by the fridge door" :o)))) Emancipe, you know :o)))

That's how we die out as a nation, must be! come to think about it. flop dead as flies, by the fridge doors :o)))))
Franco-German power 01:55am on 27 Nov 2009 Mavrelius, it's nice to see how good you are in the kitchen. Can just imagine you in the apron with meat thermometre in hands. Very handsome.
In the mis-hap of the Chinese crossing Russia's border - no doubt you and your meat thermometre will be of great help.

If you like scaring people for the night, skip Russians, tell a story to the Kazakh. I looked up a Kazakhstan blog now, on the latest China news :o))) Have it open now, in fact, running parallel to this one.
China switches them off water, already blocked nearly all rivers coming in the Kazakh direction. The one that still bubbles - bubbles with pesticides, Kazakhs are in horror. Things are real poisoned in China.

a quote from that blog "a good article. their expansion is creepy, there won't be a war, they will simply one day run a referendum in Kazakhstan and announce joining up China as a majority on the ground. As they say "allure enemy to the roof and take the stairs away." I like better what Russians say: "An optimist learns English, a pessimist learns Chinese, and a realist learns Kalashnikov machine-gun".

So, we are again popular in Kazakhstan, only they worry about themselves, and we worry about the Russian Far East.

Anyway, the post gets too gloomy.
:o)
There are Americans and Americans. Stellarbeloved, you seem to have mentioned you like Russian jokes :o)

- How is life? How is crisis?
- Continues. Ends.
:o))))

Own life - each one should live through so! - so that, as an example for the grandchildren - it would be no good at all!
:o)))

Grandad, how old are you?
- 62.
the boy, with a look of doubt "And, did you start to count - from 1?
:o)))

Save money on the tickets to "2012"! Just wait a couple of years - and you will see it in reality. :o))))

In the old times, to fight draught or to prevent flooding, they gathered on a meadow and performed ritual dances. Now they gather in Copenhagen and start a conference.
:o))))

According to the last survey, 86% of Russians believe that Americans don't stock up for winter salt, flour and spaghetti because they are silly.

:o)))))

Relationship of population and state remind me of the relationship of whale and plankton, where plankton is made to be proud of the arrangement of the whale's digestive system.

:o)))

Take my advice, don't fool around with her. She's got, for the world's most ancient art - a degree of black belt. With pink garters.
:o))))

Russian football team lost to Slovenia 0:1. (and does not go to the world championship)
State Duma sat down to review the law on death penalty.
Franco-German power 11:07pm on 26 Nov 2009 Mavrelius if that's a recepie how to make that overgrown "induk" (turkey) eatable - I leave it on your conciousness.
Why "turkey" BTW? Here it's "induk" (male) or "indeyka", "indushka" (female). Indian, aboriginal, in your quarters.
Franco-German power 10:30pm on 26 Nov 2009 The process is called "to sculpture the pelmeni". Men folk insist they need a kind of an inspiration for the process :o))) an awful creative work o))))

Sadly, our men are Asians exactly 9th century BC 100% in terms of the difficulty to force them into the kitchen. We are impatiently waiting for the ideas of the Western civilisation and all things democratic to settle over and posess the masses of menfolk. European ideas of home work 50/50, how to say, are not exactly ingrained in Russian men masses. All is below men's esteem, whatever you propose, apart from taking out the garbage bin and pelmeni-sculpturing, one can't count on much.
As the saying goes "will die by the fridge of hunger", un-able even to open the door.
Franco-German power 10:16pm on 26 Nov 2009 ChrisArta, well. if that bird is there it means something? what is it doing on the counters so useless :o) waiting for a passer-by American and Thanksgiving? :o)
"meetballs in noodles" must be Siberian "pelmeni", stress in the middle. That look like small white ears :o))), depending, how one rolls them up little kind of pies.
you roll out on a wooden board flour and water, to make the cover eh, something to roll meat balls into, a packaging for meatballs. Then you get an empty vodka glass and press it down, onto that coating rolled around (by an empty vodka bottle :o)))) naturally, as well :o)))) - whats a better eh? roller? So, with the empty glass turned upside down you carve little round circles in your ? that flour coating, and thus obtain round pieces of it. Into which into each round you drop in a meatball and roll the sides up like "ears". :o)))
Thus you obtain meatballs coated in that? what's the English word. Anyway, into that from which all breads are baked.

These little white balls you produce when you have time. (men are good at it). And lump into your fridge into the freezer compartment, until better times when you have no time.

Then, when you are hungry and want something substantial and hot immediately! immediately! you only need to put on a kettle (1 min.), pour the contents of that kettle into a pan, add salt, and somersault into the boiling water a couple of handful-s of your stocks frozen to death from the fridge. First they drown. When they are ready they surface up like a submarine. Good with sour cream but normal butter is just as good. Typical bachelor's food some survive on it for years.:o))) Siberian because they never needed a freezer LOL, but must be put them around the house :o)))) here and there or I don't know where :o)))) and then simply collected them from snow behind the door to cook when hungry.
What goes an accompaniment to the "pelmeni" you must have figured out yourself :o)) from the technicalities of the process :o))))
