Energy Conflict one in the same

The Eastern Block
Not until recently did i relize the position of the Country of Iran in relation to the european energy corriodor. That is for a future discussion at another time. Today while looking up Russias influence on the Iran nuclear program talks and related sanctions from the UN. While browsing stories related to that topic on Google news I came across an interesting article published by Paul Globe on a Georgian State paper site, indicating that they see Russia trying to destabilize the Ukraine durring this upcoming election, which would be benificial in Russia picking up land that they feel belongs to them. Just a thought, read the article

RFE/FL(Radio Free Europe Free Librity)Has a story on how Azerbaijan has a trump card in the Armenia-Turkey talks due to the placement of a proposed Natural gas pipeline that would circumvent Russia.

Britons drink Poop for $100

The Associated Press described the process back in 2004: Civets live in the foliage of plantations across Southeast Asia. These fussy foragers pick the best and ripest coffee berries. Enzymes in their digestive system break down the flesh of the fruit before the animals expel the bean. Workers collect beans from the plantation floor, wash away the dung and roast them to produce a unique drink that devotees might say is good to the last dropping I am not quite sure what is worth, my dog will make you guys some coffee beans for alot less than $100 dollars.

I don't know sounds like a scam, I am sure i can find my German Shepard some coffee beans from Starbucks. Let him ingest the beans, and i will let the Britons take the beans if they clean up the residual effects of feeding a dog. Sheesh, just gross.

I am not eating and defiantly not drinking anything that comes out of the CIVET, it looks like a mix between a raccoon and a marsupial
