An other western hawkish woman...

It's obvious that the spoiled, rude and pathetic Hillary Clinton jealοus the fame of a disgusting former U.S.A. foreign affairs minister, Kondoliza Rajs, as you can see on the video...

This release it's a shame for the modern developed world!

To agree or not to agree? That is the question...

If you have yet to get a whiff of this delicious crumpet of cinematic news, a new Shakespeare movie is about to pop out. "Anonymos", is decribed by the ultimate cinema site (IMDB) as "A political thriller advancing the theory that it was in fact Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford who penned Shakespeare's plays; set against the backdrop of the succession of Queen Elizabeth I, and the Essex Rebellion against her."

Roland Emmerich has taken up the scrumptiously scandalous notion of identity fraud and taken it up to the next level. This period drama will divide audiences, but will it also conquer? The movie is to be released on October 28 in the UK.

Take a peek at the video, in which Emmerich explains his point of view, and therefore the basis of the plot. Thinkest thou he speaketh the truth?

F+tM!

Aren't they terrific?!

What makes you happy??

A film about taking a moment to consider the simpler things in life. 200 people were asked one simple question and this film is just some of the most honest answers...                                                 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eg2OWXgLWM&feature=player_embedded

"...Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary..."

She meant her NO to rehab and she knew better...

“They tried to make me go to rehab, I said NO, NO, NO!”... That's who was in a few words Amy Winehouse! Many commentators are going to note that this is not the best way to treat someone to his own life. But all the people are not the same. Every one knows better what is better for himself and what seems as cowardness to the majority, some times is the boldness that they never going to have!

“She was all substance”, said Trevor Nelson, a famous media producer and DJ. And I think, he hit exactly to the point! She was a very emotional girl and a great singer, writer and musician, at the same time! She is now in the club of No 27; in a club which has been filled in with some of the most significant artists who passed from the world ever. Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and now Amy Winehouse, who goes to Rest In Peace with them!

Amy Winehouse have a good time and play great music with all of them and many other special personalities like you! We will always have with us this little sample of your music kindness and grandeur, which you left us before you passed over, to remember you, to pay tribute to you and listen something that doing our every day living, at least, a little bit better!

Speaking English this summer…

All the students of Bokos Therapy Institute, I believe we have the same agony. This agony is that, even though we try to update our knowledge of the English language and we handle to achieve our goal, at leat in some extend, thanks to the honorable professor Mr. B., we have not often the opportunity to check our progress with native English speakers and register more useful information.

The previous days I had the chance to have an interesting conversation with a young man from London, who works in Athens as a movie maker for commercials on the internet. By the dialogs I had with this interesting person emerged two simple truths about my ability in spoken English: Firstly, after a year in a class of Bokos I can easily have a conversation about several issues with any native English speaker and secondly as more as I am speaking the language, I could better understand my weaknesses and do something to overlap them.

For instance, I understood that when I am speaking English outside of the Institute, in the real life, I do not use properly the question form. Instead, maybe because I am a little bit nervous, usually I just set an issue that I am interested to discuss with an other person. Also, some times, I use greek metaphors that are not used in English, thus I now understood another thing too, that it is better to avoid these type of language schemes, at least when I am not sure of their existence.

In my opinion, should all of us try and achieve to have many dialogues with native English speakers during the summer, in order each one of us to establish on his own a personal reliable check and balances system for his progress in English and to upgrade his English speaking ability, having always as final goal to success in the exams and to achieve to speak the language as the natives English speakers!

Europe warned of financial chaos over Greek debt crisis

Greek prime minister fails to form unity government as police battle rioters in Athens and shares tumble over default fears

The Greek government was on the brink of collapse after pitched battles on the streets of Athens on Wednesday, sending world stocks tumbling as EU leaders squabbled over whether and how to launch a second attempt to keep Greece from insolvency.

George Papandreou, the socialist prime minister, appeared to admit defeat by offering to dissolve his government and form a national unity coalition, but admitted his efforts to negotiate with the opposition conservatives had failed.

"Tomorrow I will form a new government, and then I will ask for a vote of confidence," Papandreou said on state television. The move followed intense but fruitless negotiations with the conservative New Democracy party to engineer a consensus behind the savage public spending cuts deemed necessary and a wholesale privatisation programme.

The opposition had called for Papandreou's resignation and a renegotiation of the bailout terms with the EU, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund as the price for its assent to a national coalition.

Earlier, riot police had battled with tens of thousands of protesters in the capital against the radical austerity measures being imposed to try to secure a second bailout in a year, running to tens of billions of euros.

EU governments, the ECB, and the European Commission were gridlocked over how to respond to the debt emergency, which pushed Greece closer to sovereign default, possibly triggering a fresh European banking crisis.

A sense of siege descended on Brussels as the Greek drama appeared to be heading towards a denouement. The ECB warned that a Greek default could spark "contagion" across Europe, causing Greek banks to implode and inflicting major damage on the big banks in France and Germany.

"It looks like a week of chaos," said a European official in Brussels. Senior diplomats in Brussels said that an emergency meeting of the 17 eurozone finance ministers on Tuesday had failed to bridge the differences over how to construct a second bailout in a year for Greece, running to almost €100bn. In May last year the EU and the IMF put together a €110bn bailout for Greece, the first in a single currency country. That experiment has failed. Ireland and Portugal have since also needed to be rescued from national insolvency.

"The euro area faces a very challenging situation that comes mostly from the interconnection of the sovereign debt crisis and the situation of the banking sector," the ECB said. "Greece could have a contagion effect," added Vitor Constancio, an ECB vice-president.

Papandreou's offer of a national unity government signalled he was throwing in the towel, spelling the third government collapse in the EU in recent months because of the debt crisis – following Ireland and Portugal.

The debt crisis has also taken a heavy political toll in the richer creditor countries of the eurozone, with anti-bailout populists making big gains in Finland and the Netherlands, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel suffering political setbacks at home while coming in for criticism abroad for her handling of the emergency.

The Americans are exasperated with the failure of EU powers to resolve the crisis and fear for the impact of a Greek default on the international economy.

Greek borrowing costs soared to record levels as investors took fright.

Stock markets suffered; the Dow Jones industrial average in Wall Street was down 180 points, and FTSE 100 was down 60 points.

Berlin, backed by the Dutch, Austrians, and Finns, have been arguing for weeks that there can be no new bailout of Greece without the country's private creditors being forced to suffer losses on their loans. Otherwise, they argue, European taxpayers will be shouldering the costs while the international banks pocket the proceeds.

The ECB, the European Commission and other EU countries led by France argue that this could pave the way to disaster, with the financial markets decreeing the compulsory "haircuts" on private bondholders a Greek default, a "credit event" that could lay waste to the single currency.

"We are against any sort of default with haircuts and any form of private-sector event that could lead to a credit event or a rating event," Constancio said.

There was little sign that the differences had been bridged at Tuesday's emergency meeting of eurozone finance ministers.

They meet again in Luxembourg on Sunday under pressure to strike a deal on a new Greek rescue by June 20, ahead of an EU summit on Thursday next week.

But in Brussels diplomats said it could take weeks, perhaps until mid-July, to reach agreement. Amid a mood of heightening panic, all eyes were on a summit on Friday between Merkel and the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy.

Greece needs a fresh infusion of cash from the IMF by next month to service its debts, but the IMF cannot disburse the funds unless Greece's public finances are deemed to be secure. Without a new EU bailout, they are not secure.
