been on this ride for years Appreciate the sentiments

Four Wheel pointed out something I had forgotten.. whew.. lol

Thanks for the reminder!

Capital helps many things..

"the end of this year or next year will work directly in the new Central Bank building." - Love their wording .. it leaves more questions than answers.Could be end of this year ,beginning of next year ,,, or could be another whole year of waiting... About time to call this the road to nowhere...

Someone needs to tell Franks April Fool's has already come and gone...

"Soon"

I realize I may not post much here , but I do pay attention to plenty.Often I prefer to read and do my research quietly..I can't point out links because primarily I read for my own education and not to pass along to some Sourire club.One thing that does stick out and in my memory however came from Adam a while back stating that things will be chaotic and confusing when they do finally get to this event.Posted the above without any endorsement either way for folks to use their own discernment.

I hope your definition of "Fast" isn't remotely connected to many interpretations on here of "soon"

..and that is every citizen shares in this company...and the law of oil and gas that will be passed" Same ole bullfodder...

That's why I posted this.Maybe Adam and others in the know can chime in on this ..

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/mideast/student-shakes-threats-win-miss-iraq-name-womens-rights-n483791?cid=sm_fb Student Shakes Off Threats to Win Miss Iraq in Name of Women's Rightsby HENRY AUSTIN and ALEXANDER SMITH Miss Iraq 2015 A 20-year-old economics student has shaken off death threats to rivals and a barrage of criticism to be crowned the first official Miss Iraq since 1972. "I want to prove that the Iraqi woman has her own existence in society, she has her rights like men," Shaima Qassem Abdulrahman told NBC News. "I am afraid of nothing, because I am confident that what I am doing is not wrong." Student Wins Miss Iraq after 40 Years of Beauty Pageant Absence 1:07 More than 150 women applied for Miss Iraq pageant, which organizers said was a chance to "create life in Iraq" and "revive our country" after years of bloodshed and internal chaos. But a backlash saw 15 contestants drop out of the competition, according to one of the judges, Iraqi fashion designer Sinan Kamel. Reuters reported that least two of these women had received death threats. Newly crowned Miss Iraq Shaima Qassim Abdulrahman. Karim Kadim / AP Abdulrahman, from the northern city of Kirkuk, said that she hoped "to reflect the culture of Iraq," adding that Saturday's competition was "not about beauty alone," and it was not just a fashion show. "I call all Iraqi girls to feel this experience," she said after winning. Abdulrahman had to convince her parents to let her enter after they initially banned her from participating. "In the past I heard that such contests used to be held in Baghdad — I dreamed of being a part of one of these contests," she told NBC News in October. She said the Iraqi people were "badly in need of such cultural activities" after the turmoil the country had been through. Like many Iraqis, Abdulrahman has been directly affected by the violence brought to her country by ISIS. Two of her cousins were members of Iraq's federal police until they were killed while fighting the militants. Five of her fellow contestants were also forced to find new homes last year afterISIS overran the northern city of Mosul. Participants wait for judges to determine the winner of Miss Iraq during the final round of judging in Baghdad. AHMED SAAD / Reuters Iraq has a long history of holding beauty pageants. In the 1930s, women competed at monthly events including "Miss Baghdad" and "Baghdad's Queen of Beauty," according to an article published in Nina Iraq magazine. Wijdan Burhan al-Deen, who won in 1972, was the last internationally-recognized Miss Iraq. She went on to represent her country at Miss Universe the same year. Since then, pageants have been held under various monikers but none were in accordance with international standards — a prerequisite for having a shot at Miss Arab and then the global Miss World event.
