Re >>Tin Sin Kuk<< one of the more colorful fairy tales this side of the earth goes like this: Boilerplate phone call (replace the names as appropriate):"Herr Meier, a high state official - you will understand we will not mention any names - in the Nigerian Oil Ministry has lately been looking for alternative modes of investment. He contacted us with explicit wish for discretion and high-quality German know-how and after extensive search, Herr Dr Meier, we are glad to let you know that your name is at the top of our short list..." ..... and the poor slob of Herr Meier ("....Harharhar, Zis Schwarzie wants to wash his Geld, wir helfen him for sure, harharhar...") left shirtless, shoeless, dongless, penniless in anything between 10 days and two years. It's not a sting operation, it's 32teeth root canal, tooth by tooth ("No, no, Herr Meier, unfortunately Mr Nkomo's signature will cost you 80.000, not 60.000US, so we need additional 20k by Friday"), with the wretch of a Meier saying to himself "cant believe its happening to me". Can not understand, that somebody keeps believing in fairy tales for so long?! Oops, of course, look at Nasdaq history. dj

Wife needs to go to Paris yet again as her brother needs logistic support during his cello Rostapoviche (sp?) Best of luck to your wife's brother. Which one is he on the competitor's list since I always like to follow along? civp.com By the way, it is Mstislav Rostropovich, but you were close. Not to worry, seems to be some confusion on how to spell his name anyway as the website for the competition has it both listed as Rostropovich, Rostropovitch and Rostropowitsch depending on your language of choice. civp.com He married the famous soprano, Galina Vishnevskaya and both became champions of artistic freedom outside of communism. "Mstislav Rostropovich is one of the world's most outspoken defenders of human and artistic freedoms." emiclassics.com If you don't own any of his recordings - they are worth an addition to your collection.
