Brick buildings, apartment blocks, an overly large Mercedes-Benz logo which sits atop one of the apartment blocks, a star from one of the Kremlin towers, and the ubiquitous onion domes of the Kremlin churches - must be Moscow!

The US Debt Issue..
If you think the world isn't watching, Al Jazeera English has it as the top story..
It's maddening, listening to the crap from both sides this weekend. Just cut the spending/tax loop-holes and raise the Debt Limit. Call me if you want to know how to cut spending. I have seen the waste at DOD and "civilian" government institutuions....
It's simple, stop "spend it or you won't get it next year", and let them report those dollars back to the Treasury. 1 Trillion easy, over the next 10 years..
Think about it: If every Office/Division across the Federal Government and DOD reported back what they would have wasted, just to spend it? It's a simple mandate, "Cut what you spend, or it will be imposed upon you".

I like to make "the standing-in front of-the-sun" shots. I know they look the same and not professional. And being the amateur photographer I never know how the shot will turn out, it is always the adventure for me. The problem happens when amateur decides that the photo is worth sharing))).
The first photo shows the contours of business center constructed in the beginning of 21st century.
The second photo was made in the beginning of last summer and shows the site in normal daylight. In 2010 it was rather grey day and the lady in swimming suit was inviting to go to Egypt for vacations..
I have recently found out that the tower in these photos was nicknamed by anonymous people living around. They call it "Canis'(dog's) .." (well, switch on your imagination and knowledge of sharp English words).
It is amazing how exact and sensible can be the street language. Everything is here: attitude to modern Moscow architecture, humor, satire, bitterness.

Looking down New Arbat Street. The large buildings are apartment blocks, and they line nearly the entire street! The views from the tops must be amazing, from there you can see nearly half the city. I've never been up there, but I've seen pictures taken from the top floors and even the roof - simply breathtaking.

TOP 1 Oli sintetik mobil-motor Indonesia
Dengan tagline "TOP 1 Oli Sintetik Mobil-Motor Indonesia", oli TOP1 berusaha untuk memperkuat brand sebagai penyedia oli sintetik untuk mobil dan motor di Indonesia. Oli adalah penopang utama dari kerja sebuah mesin. Bukan itu saja, oli juga menentukan performa dan daya tahan mesin. Semakin baik kualitas oli yang digunakan, semakin baik pula performa dan daya tahan mesin. Fungsi oli bukan hanya sebagai pelumas saja, melainkan juga sebagai pendingin dan pembersih mesin. Sebagai pelumas, oli melumasi seluruh komponen yang bergerak di dalam mesin untuk mencegah terjadinya kontak langsung antarkomponen yang terbuat dari logam. Sebagai pendingin, oli juga harus mampu mengurangi panas yang ditimbulkan oleh gesekan antarlogam pada mesin yang bergerakPengertian oli sintetik sendiri adalah oli yang dibuat dengan bahan dasar dari unsur-unsur kimia sintetik dan penambahan aditif. Hasil yang diperoleh dari oli sintetik adalah oli dengan daya tahan lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan oli mineral
Keunggulan oli sintetik dibandingkan oli mineral :
- Lebih stabil pada temperatur tinggi
- Mencegah terjadinya endapan karbon pada mesin
- Sirkulasi lebih lancar pada waktu start pagi hari/cuaca dingin
- Melumasi dan melapisi metal lebih baik dan meminimalisir gesekan antar logam yang berakibat kerusakan mesin
- Tahan terhadapan perubahan/oksidasi sehingga lebih tahan lama sehingga lebih ekonomis dan efisien
- Meningkatkan tenaga dan mesin lebih dingin
- Mengandung detergen yang lebih baik untuk membersihkan mesin dari kerak
TOP 1 Oli sintetik mobil-motor Indonesia, menggunakan paket aditif Molytrinuclear yang jauh lebih baik dibanding dengan aditif yang lain. Kelebihan paket aditif Molytrinuclear :
1. Memiliki 3 atom pada inti molekul-molekulnya yang terikat membentuk senyawa yang melapisi secara kuat dan tidak mudah pecah diantara celah-celah mesin yang bergerak, sehingga mesin lebih stabil dan bekerja langsung ketika dinyalakan
2. Menggelincir satu sama lain dengan lancar yang akan menghasilkan gesekan minimal dan akselerasi maksimal
3. Bersifat seperti Graphite yang secara instan bereaksi dengan permukaan logam, memberikan lapisan pelindung film mikroskopik sehingga lebih optimal melindungi komponen mesin dari keausan
4. Melindungi secara maksimal bahkan dalam kecepatan rendah dengan beban rendah
Dengan kelebihan oli TOP 1 Oli sintetik mobil-motor Indonesia dalam menghasilkan oli sintetik yang berkualitas, seperti oli yang sejernih air, teknologi VX-12 yang akan melindungi melindungi mesin lebih sempurna dan 12 kali lebih tahan terhadap keausan metal dibanding standar minimum API Service SL dan 5 kali lebih baik dibanding pelumas kelas dunia lainnya dan juga teknologi Mo3 yang memadukan base oil berkualitas terbaik dengan aditif Molytrinuclear, tentunya merupakan nilai lebih bagi konsumen oli umumnya dan mesin mobil dan motor khususnya.
So, oli anda TOP 1 juga kan??

The Senate GOP Slaps The Tea Party, A Bit..
Lindsey Graham and David Vitter joined with Democrats today, to dispose of the House Debt bill that would force a real bad constitutional "Balanced Budget Amendment".
Graham is smart when he needs to be. Vitter, is still under consideration. Regardless, they joined in to assure that when the day comes (and it will), when the "health insurance" companies have driven the US economy to the edge of a cliff..we can end them. We can have a single payer health care system in the US.
Thanks Lindsey and David, for being forward thinking...

On Dec. 23, 1987, Sixx experienced a near fatal heroin overdose. On the way to the hospital, he was declared legally dead. But one of the medics, who was a Crue fan, gave him 2 shots of adrenaline to bring him back to life. That was the inspiration for the song Kickstart My Heart.
Their song, Dr. Feelgood, was ranked as the #7 Air Guitar Song of All Time.

I is for INXS
I'm skipping H, there's no musicians I can think of for this letter.
INXS is an Australian-based rock band that started in 1977 in Syndey, New South Wales. The band consists of Gary Beers on bass guitar, Andrew Farriss on guitar/keyboards, Jon Farriss on drums, Tim Farriss on lead guitar, Kirk Pengilly on saxophone/guitar, Michael Hutchence on lead vocals. Michael's good looks and strong stage presence made him like the focal point of the band, almost like an Australian Steven Tyler. Their early music involved New Wave/ska/pop style music, but later on went on to doing pub rock and funk/dance style music
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INXS
In the early 1980s, they started in their native Australia with their self titled album INXS. Did you ever happen to notice that alot of bands first albums are self titled albums? In 1997, Hutchence died and the band did not perform for over a year. In 2005, the hunt was on for a new lead singer, and they ended up finding Canadian singer J.D. Fortune as the new lead vocalist.
In 2004, the band had a small show called Rock Star: INXS, basically this show was to help find a new lead vocalist. On Sept. 20, 2005, J.D. Fortune, who was a Canadian-based singer, won the competition by singing the Rolling Stones hit You Can't Always Get What You Want and the INXS hit What You Need. And after that, he became the new lead vocalist.

Hyatt Skywalk Collapse 1981
I was in boot camp and we were cut off from news at that time. Never heard about this Freaky accident...
Lisa Nowak Expelled From The Navy/NASA
Bye bye carzy bitch. Enjoy retiremennt on our nickle. She didn't get the dishonorable discharge that she deserved...
While no excuse, the root of the problem is probably some guy she totally loved (before ever starting NASA training), who couldn't take her being gone so much. Sad ending to a great career.
LAKE QUINSIGAMOND PARK (Indian name, anyway)
