Sophistication is the name of the game at Cocktails@Cooper-Hewitt, a weekly party in the museum's garden, the largest private green space in Manhattan.

Jazz is the preferred soundtrack, views are of Central Park, and this summer's parties are themed to the museum's ongoing National Design Triennial—"Why Design Now?"—open during the event. $15 per entrance.

Oh darling! don't be fool by the outer color of the museum, it is everything but posh and elegant from outside!

Let me introduce what inside the building really are?

Je me lève

Et je te bouscule

Tu n'te réveilles pas

Comme d'habitude

Sur toi

Je remonte le drap

J'ai peur que tu aies froid

Comme d'habitude

Ma main

Caresse tes cheveux

Presque malgré moi

Comme d'habitude

Mais toi

Tu me tournes le dos

Comme d'habitude

Alors

Je m'habille très vite

Je sors de la chambre

Comme d'habitude

Tout seul

Je bois mon café

Je suis en retard

Comme d'habitude

Sans bruit

Je quitte la maison

Tout est gris dehors

Comme d'habitude

J'ai froid

Je relève mon col

Comme d'habitude

Comme d'habitude

Toute la journée

Je vais jouer

A faire semblant

Comme d'habitude

Je vais sourire

Comme d'habitude

Je vais même rire

Comme d'habitude

Enfin je vais vivre

Comme d'habitude

Et puis

Le jour s'en ira

Moi je reviendrai

Comme d'habitude

Toi

Pas encore rentrée

Comme d'habitude

Tout seul

J'irai me coucher

Dans ce grand lit froid

Comme d'habitude

Mes larmes

Je les cacherai

Comme d'habitude

Mais comme d'habitude

Même la nuit

Je vais jouer

A faire semblant

Comme d'habitude

Tu rentreras

Comme d'habitude

Je t'attendrai

Comme d'habitude

Tu me souriras

Can the USA and Europe cut their way to economic prosperity? Probably not.

If British voters thought they had replaced the dour visage of Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown with an optimistic one in fresh-faced Tory David Cameron, they were sadly mistaken.

On June 7, the new PM Cameron brought down the hammer, telling the British public that the most urgent issue ahead "is our massive deficit and our growing debt.

How we deal with these things will affect our economy and our society, indeed our whole way of life." With a deficit set to top 11 percent of gross domestic product this year, and a debt of $1.12 trillion and rising,

Cameron prescribed a harsh regimen of spending cuts and possible tax increases. Tony Blair's motto was "Cool Britannia." Cameron's is likely to be "Austerity Now!"

most developed economies responded to the global financial crisis in 2008 and '09 with stimulus: They increased government spending and cut taxes.

In slack times, the government needs to fill in for diminished private demand. But 2010 is shaping up to be a year of parsimony.

To win support for an international bailout, Greece enacted a tough package of budget cuts and tax increases.

Spain's left-wing government at the end of May slashed civil-servant pay by 5 percent and froze pensions—even though one in five Spaniards is out of work.

Recently, German Chancellor Angela Merkel unveiled a $144 billion package that would raise taxes on airline flights and cut defense spending and public works—and Germany's deficit is a manageable 5 percent of GDP.

We're not hearing that kind of rhetoric in the United States yet, but the new austerity has crossed the pond.

Even though unemployment remains at 9.7 percent, a proposed jobs bill out of concern for the deficit. President Obama recently called for federal agencies to identify cuts of up to 5 percent in 2012.

States and cities are slashing budgets and raising taxes! Paul Krugman has called "the pain caucus" is in the ascendancy.

Many, especially slow-growing, highly indebted countries in southern Europe see austerity as a way to avoid the fate of Greece. Others are reacting to fears of stimulus-induced inflation.

So, my simple piece of word would be " Lets avoid the WAR!"

People ain't learning anything that WAR will and never would brings any balanced in their social life. and i better stop here.

What Drives Consumers' Purchasing Behavior of Petrol Car Engine Oil?

What Drives Consumers' Purchasing Behavior of Petrol Car Engine Oil?

In order to survive and also to stay ahead of the competition, clearer understanding of the current factors that influence the engine oil purchasing factors is necessary;

We have two main factors; marketing mix and consumer characteristics, does have a factors were tested to see if they were valid and had a correlation with the actual purchasing actions.

The Prominent factors influencing the purchasing behavior came out to be "Value for Money", "Level of Consumers" Direct Accessibility of Contact", "Adventurous" and "Social Acceptance".

All of these factors portrayed correlations with the actual engine oil purchasing behavior except for the "Value for Money" aspect.

In nutshell, at the end of the present study(2009) in United States of America:

1 - Value for money is NOT related to the actual purchasing action.

2- Consumers' direct accessibility or contact i positively related to the actual purchasing action.

3- Social acceptance is positively related to the actual purchasing action.

4- Adventurous character of consumer is positively related to the actual purchasing action.

Our National Debt...

$13,050,826,460,886.97

That’s what the National Debt topped this week, a record.

Go ahead, let it soak in: Thirteen trillion, fifty billion, eight hundred twenty-six million, four hundred sixty thousand, eight hundred eighty-six dollars . . . and ninety-seven cents.

Seen on the “debt clock” in Times Square,My hubby Mr Steve are saying that number seems little more than an abstraction, something almost impossible to process.

But think about it this way: If you earned one dollar every second, it would take you 416,000 years to earn enough money to pay it off. Or consider: Alex Rodriguez earned $33 million last year, making him the highest paid player in baseball. It would take nearly 400,000 Rodriguezes to earn that much money.

But that’s what our children and grandchildren now owe.

Actually, that’s just part of the debt we have dumped on future generations. That’s because most of what the government owes isn’t on the official books.

No wonder the bond-rating firm Moody’s recently warned that the US government was at risk of losing its AAA credit rating.

This is not a partisan issue. When the bastard George W. Bush became president, the entire federal budget was $1.2 trillion. By the time he left office, it was $2.9 trillion, the biggest increase since World War II. A budget surplus in 2000 had become a $400 billion deficit at the end of Bush’s term.

But President Obama makes Bush look like a skinflint. He’s proposed a budget this year that would top $3.8 trillion.

His signature initiative so far is a new health care entitlement, which will add hundreds of billions to the federal deficit over the next 10 years, and trillions more beyond that

Congress doesn’t seem to care, treating debt as an abstraction, monopoly money, someone else’s problem. Let them deal with what happens when the US becomes Greece. Except that day may be sooner than they think.

There is no way to tax our way out of this mess. Just keeping up with currently projected spending would require raising both the corporate tax rate and top income tax rate from their current 35% to 88%, the current 25% tax rate for middle-income workers to 63%, and the 10% tax bracket for low-income workers to 25%.

And that’s just at the federal level. State and local taxes would be added on top of that.

Does anyone really believe that our economy can survive that kind of taxation?

If Democrats and Republicans continue to spend like drunken sailors, it won’t really matter who pays the bar bill.

Whether government borrows the money or raises it in taxes, every dollar that government spends is a dollar siphoned off from American workers, making us less productive, less prosperous and less free.

Sooner or later, someone is going to have to have the courage to say “No.”

The Booty Comes to Me

IT has comes to me! lalalala

I know lots of secret! heheheheh (with devilish smile)

Does everybody knows? before 9/11 tragedy, the state of economy of USA is no more dominated by Jews Corporation/Individual.

It was lead by the Middle East Financial House. ( YES YES, i have the reports in front of me, now) and the same situation occurs in EU too.

The Oils Economic Factor, i called it. and How is the state of investment after 9/11?

Never better...hahahahah!

The Domino power does not make an investment from Middle East smaller!

So, if we thoughts that Western Economics Fortune are growing on its own! you are so wrong!

Will Great Britain survive after few European Union Countries collapses?

How many Corporation in London Stock Exchange owned by Foreign Entity?

Tell me Sir! what is the current state of spending of Great Britain?

Will the Queen of England @ the Royal Family willingly by all meant selling their Crown Jewel to bailout this beloved country?

Call me NASTY BUGGER! but if the state of Economics of Great Britain is not moving in the next 6 month! disaster will that be!

As we (Group of Economists) have presented in our report to EU. Why EU must stand United in their decisions to save @ bailout the PIGS (Portugal, Italy/Iceland, Greece & Spain) ?

Simply to have to secured the Domino's effects from spreading the entire Europe, 1. 2nd would be to secure the continuous investment from Foreign states! and last is to reinstate the Euro.

Euro might need to be block or put to one value in the next seasons only IF they should know the reasons!

What with Open Market when you are not sure what should be open and what should not be open.

Like i always said " World are Dominated by STUPID PEOPLE" who very much likely to "SWEEP ALL THE PROBLEM UNDER THE CARPET". and

before you notice it! These has already turns to BAD, STINKY, ROTTEN ASSHOLE that non ANTI-AGING CREAM SOLUTION would do any good to em!

Just like MJ's. I do pity him btw....
