Semper Fi
I don't do mink either.
Bookmarking for posterior sake.
It was something hugh --very series.
Llama coat...knitted of course.
Phoooooooooooooey....no thanks. :-(
Great news. Those Israelis' are something else... ;o)
One report said there were 3 low level fighters. I don't know that they would tell us if that had a major Iranian terror master though. It might be better to remain silent for a short while.
No, but Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al Qaeda might be able to do so. A few power plants, or even just switching stations in the middle of a heat wave, could really disrupt things Then there is the mall attack scenario.
Yes, Israel has many more on NASDAQ then NYSE. Probably because they are lower caps and more start ups.
Israel has tremendous foreign venture capital investment.
"Israel is second to America in the number of companies listed on NASDAQ, and the Economist magazine says that the country attracts twice the number of venture-capital (VC) investments as the whole of Europe, according to Ed Mlavsky, a veteran of the Israeli technology industry and the chairman and founder of Gemini, a big Israeli VC fund that was one of the investors in Saifun. In 2003, 55% of Israel 's exports were high technology, compared with the OECD average of 26%. Tech giants such as IBM, Motorola and Cisco have research centres in Israel , which is also where Intel developed its Centrino chip."

One big sucess story is Checkpoint.
Stay clam, we will figure out some way to address your legend status..
Perhaps a crown would do.
I knew you were going there. My pride just wanted to hear it.
Unless they blow up the entire MALL OF AMERICA, on a busy day, blowing up or shooting it up in a regular mall, won't disrupt much of anything.
I guess you didn't get the original joke. There used to be a VERY famous ad campaign for Blackgama mink...."WHAT BECOMES A LEGEND MOST?" is how the ad read, over the head of a famous actress or socialite, who was wearing one of their mink coats. Oh well.....................
musta missed it..
Thanks for the clue in.
I'm desperate for news.
Oh, it was a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong ad run; lasted for decades and was featured in ALL of the magazines, such as Vogue. I think it was begun in the late 1950s and ran through the late 1980s, or a bit into the '90s. LOL
