a friend advised me to give you this link and that he has interest in a metal Lek Lai from thailand http://thetaobums.com/topic/27124-talismans/

seems entirely plausible. is it plausible that it could spread to every black sea nation? http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/13/8036183/combat-mission-black-sea-launches-amidst-real-life-tensions-in-ukraine Pyatt claimed on Twitter that the rebel troops "now have larger fighting force with more tanks armored vehicles, heavy artillery & rocket systems than some NATO and European countries." It appears both sides are continuing their attacks ahead of the ceasefire. http://news.yahoo.com/photos-prove-russian-weapons-deployed-eastern-ukraine-us-022200547--abc-news-topstories.html is it also plausible that putin is not going to bow down to the banksters? there is after all some tradition of russians not liking capitalists, no? http://news.yahoo.com/russia-carries-snap-check-paratroopers-western-russia-160240829.html http://news.yahoo.com/video/battle-rages-town-where-ukraine-175432115.html

ok, there isnt a cold picture thread and i hope you new england bums have nice hot cocoa/tea/brandy or whatever keeps you warm on a snowy wintry day

thank you sean for keeping this site the wonderful community that it is, ^^

i like the russian dog quote and it reminds me of a former bums dog quote, i will attempt to paraphrase, rather than search it "if 100 dogs bark after it, it isn't a wolf" more sides for sure. i think if there were not the more sides, this could be resolved between basically "cousins", sigh. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/31/bilderberg-ukraine-summit

"Acres and acres of at least 5 varieties of every 5,000+ herbal/animal/mineral substance used in Traditional Chinese Medicine." i woulda just OD'd before i ever left there also, this is taken from someone selling the stuff along with other interesting herbs, so bias noted, bizness is bizness; "The Legend of He Shou Wu… This root is named after a man who became famous from its use. Neng Zi was born as a weak boy. When he grew up he never married because he was impotent. At the age of 58, one day he got drunk in the forest and fell asleep. He noticed roots that appeared in his mind to be “making love”. He dug these up and later made it into a tonic he could consume. Within a short period of time he noticed a new energy flowing within his body. He began to feel virile, and could hardly contain his sexual drive. He continued taking He Shou Wu for years which made his grey hair turn black and he fathered many children. The legend says he lived to 160 years old and fathered 19 sons and daughter. Not bad for starting out with a weak constitution and beginning on the herb at 58."

high level diplomacy came up with a "peace agreement" and then the violence immediately escalated. hmmm, that ol cherokee cowboy sage of a bygone era, will rogers; "Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock"

“We are at a crossroads,” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told ARD television on Saturday. “The parties to the conflict must decide whether they want to escalate the conflict or move toward a settlement. Whether we can get on this path will be decided in the next two to three days.” http://finance.yahoo.com/news/video-ukraine-summit-unsuccessful-u-084639239.html i got my fingers crossed in hopes of peace' despite "Russia won’t tolerate the post-Cold War global system dominated by a single leader, Putin said Saturday at a meeting with the Federation of Independent Trade Unions in Sochi. “That type of world order has never been acceptable for Russia,” Putin said. “Maybe someone likes it and wants to live under a pseudo-occupation, but we won’t put up with it.”

no diggity

at the moment there is too much going on with the ukraine situation to know where to begin to decide, what, to post. its way past overwhelming.

its not the image of longevity i would pursue. however, i wish he was able to continue his meditation undisturbed in the cave and not be some novelty for scientists to play with.
