B*U*S*T* - My own personal favorite because it's so much fun.
I was watching NBC local news two days ago. The teachers in Gurnee, IL (Woodland District) went ON STRIKE because they want more money. They were asking for almost 30% wage increase in 3 years! My goodness. I worked in healthcare dedicated my life to the sick and I only got 1.5% wage increase per year!!!!!! These teachers are so greedy.
The Do Not Call Registry was put on hold by a judge in Nebraska. I really don't have a problem with telemarketers because my computer is connected to my phone line (intentional). I'm not a phone-aholic and my answering machine is always on. My award-winning contributor, Susan, e-mailed me some really neat ideas how to zap these telemarketers. I tried to forward it to the web sites but failed maybe because it was an attachment.
I know Ahhnold will be great in the debate. Everyone has skeleton in their closets. I myself supported Proposition 187. I even got hold of a letter from the then Gov. Pete Wilson (May 19,1995) sent to my family who used to live in California. We were against illegal immigrants getting support. 60% of Californians voted for it but it was deemed unconstitutional. My parents sent me their hard-earned money to support me when I was an exchange student. The federal government even took some in the form of taxes. Thousands of immigration applicants from all over the world (some waiting for 5-20 years) went through the legal channel and they are still waiting. Nevertheless, that's why we have THE CONSTITUTION.
Nobody goes to court with clean hands.

FINLAND IS CALLED THE LAND OF THOUSAND LAKES, ABOUT 60,000. All I know about Finland is what my mother told me when I was a young girl - that the first Miss Universe, Armi Kuusela, was from Finland. The first Miss Universe contest was held in the Philippines in 1950 (?). She married a Filipino businessman, Virgilio Hilario, who was her escort at the pageant. Since I came to America, I have never missed (okay, 2 misses) watching the Miss Universe on TV.
I'm very impressed with Finland. They have a high standard of living and the people are very friendly. Forests cover two-thirds of their land. They have built a modern industry of mostly timber products. Mountains lie in the north and it extends to the Lapland region. The United States loaned Finland $8 million to build up the country after World War I. It is the only European country to make uninterrupted payments on its debts that it so impressed the Americans. Finland has about 4,500 miles of railroads and the Saimaa Lake System alone is 186 miles long.
This country is very, very clean. The only place where there is a toilet inside a toilet. Go there and see what I'm talking about. The food court at Stockmann department store was the best. We met Vicky Simon, a Filipina from Canada. Her husband was doing some kind of software presentation. The big luggage I bought at Sam's Club was not big enough for all the souvenirs I bought during the trip. I went home with 2 more hand carries. No wonder I got held up at Copenhagen Airport due to my stuff of wooden moose and 3-inch pewter Viking ship. Maybe something else. Then here we go again at O'Hare International Airport, my plane just landed from Scandinavia and at the airport custom I was pulled aside again. Then I was pulled aside again and told to go to another counter. When I got there they just screened the bags and that's it. Dragging all that heavy stuff was for nothing. I was really pissed off. What a way to end the day.

Russian forces attacked Finland in 1939 in violation of non-aggresion agreement between the countries. The Finns fought two wars with Russia between 1939 and 1944 under the leadership of General Carl von Mannerheim. Finland lost most of the Karelia Region in the first and more lands in the second war. Mannerheim was elected president in 1944, but resigned in 1946 because of poor health.
Most Finns belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church

RASPUTIN
MURDER OF RASPUTIN
As a crime observer, I think this is one of the most fascinating events in the annals of most unsuccessful assassination of a notorious person.
During the time of Czar Nicholas II in Imperial Russia, Grigori Rasputin (1872-1916), a peasant from western Siberia, who later became a charismatic monk, was notably the most hated man in Russia because of his imperial connection. In his middle thirties, he joined a religious sect and became known as a holy man. He went to Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), then the capital of Russia. He gained the reputation of a saint. In 1907, he was introduced to the czar and czarina in order to help heal their son, who suffered from hemophilia. His apparent "success" gained the confidence of the royal family, became a harmful influential adviser of the czar's wife, Alexandra, and dominated the affairs of the government such as in ministerial appointments and meddled in political decisions. He became the Chief of Staff of the imperial couple. Indubitably, the first and the last of royal cult of the time. Rasputin became selfish and greedy.

He became the Chief of Staff of the imperial couple. Indubitably, the first and the last of royal cult of the time. Rasputin became selfish and greedy.
A group of high noblemen feared the hatred of Rasputin would turn against the czar himself. On the night of December 16, 1916, the handsome Prince Felix Yusupov, with Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich of the House of Romanov, invited Rasputin for dinner at the Moika (Yusupov) Palace. He was served with cakes and red wine laced with cyanide - enough to kill five men.
But it seemed to have no effect on the guest so the prince got a gun and shot him in the back. A short time later he found Rasputin to be still alive, and shot him three more times. But alas, he stood back up and tried to flee! They clubbed him in the head repeatedly with an iron bar, wrapped him in a blanket, and tossed him in the Moika River. After all these attempts, Rasputin's autopsy revealed he died of hypothermia.
Nevertheless, Rasputin contributed to the downfall of the last of the Romanovs. Nicholas abdicated and his family were held prisoners for many months. The Bolshevik Revolution broke out within three months. The imperial family was finally executed in July, 1918.
