<p>The upcoming Alabama Gubernatorial race will be one of the most important in the history of our state.  More than ever, we need a Governor who will stand up for conservative principles including low taxes, smaller government, a balanced budget, and state sovereignty just to name a few.  Below, I&#8217;m listing some of the candidate&#8217;s websites.  Please, read through the information and decide for yourself who should lead our state through the tough times ahead.  Thank you for all your time and efforts.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Bentley Continental GT Speed… Tout Simplement Splendide !!!! Lors du rachat en 1998 par le Groupe VA]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Bentley Continental GT Speed… Tout Simplement Splendide !!!!</strong></p>
<p>Lors du rachat en 1998 par le Groupe VAG de la marque Anglaise, celle-ci se confinait à décliner la « Reine » Rolls Royce dans des versions plus sobres et plus performantes. Bentley était bien loin de ses glorieuses victoires en course.</p>
<p><strong>English Beauty…</strong></p>
<p>Présenté en 2002, le continental GT a tout de suite trouvé son public au niveau de sa plastique tout en finesse et ce, malgré ses 4m81 de long et 1m92 de large. Les ajustages de la carrosserie sont parfaits et je ne me lasse pas de cette magnifique croupe illuminée par des feux à leds magnifiques. La face avant est plus basique mais tout aussi pure et elle ne se laisse pas défigurer par la mode des agressifs feux de position à leds.</p>
<p>La version  Speed nous offre des jantes de 20 pouces du meilleur effet, ainsi que l’ensemble des grilles de la face avant chromées… mais en plastique… shocking, isn’t it ? D’autres détails à l’intérieur nous permettent d’identifier la Speed, le volant 3 branches, le levier spécifique de la boite automatique à 6 rapports, le pédalier ajouré et les seuils de porte portant la mention « <em>Speed</em> ».</p>
<p>A l’ouverture des portes, via un « Keyless entry », nous découvrons du cuir d’une grande qualité et à tous les étages, jusqu’au ciel de toit. C’est un plaisir pour trois de nos sens, la vue, le toucher et l’odorat. Nous sommes plongés dans une ambiance unique que Bentley a su préserver malgré quelques détails malheureux de finition : Le plastique dur des commandes du GPS et la finition légère du boitier de la montre centrale signée Breitling… Les multiples réglages électriques du siège et de la colonne de direction permettent une position parfaite mais pour les grandes tailles, le volant gène un peu la visibilité des cadrans. A noter, une installation audio de qualité avec le chargeur CD disposé dans la boite à gants, très pratique à l’usage. L’équipement est tellement complet et nous comprenons alors la présence de deux batteries dans le coffre. Très chic la commande d’ouverture et de fermeture automatique du coffre : elle nous offre quelques secondes de repos dans ce monde mouvementé.</p>
<p><strong>Gentlemen, Start your engine …</strong></p>
<p>Avec la Continental Gt Speed, nous entrons dans le monde très fermé des Coupés GT hautes performances. A la simple lecture de la fiche technique, nos appréhensions concernant l’engin se confirment – W12 de 6 litres, 610 Cv à 6000 tr/mn et un couple de 750 Nm disponible de 1700 à 5600 tr/mn et aux quatre roues.</p>
<p>La clé dans la poche, on appuie sur la pédale de frein et le bouton « start », le W12 gronde discrètement, on manipule le levier de vitesse garni de cuir et d’aluminium pour le positionner sur la position « D ». Ce monstre de puissance se conduit finalement très facilement dans une circulation urbaine pas très propice à faire respirer les 610 Cv. On apprécie alors la douceur de la boite automatique et aussi celle de l’amortissement quand celui-ci est en position confort. Cependant, il faut s’accommoder à la taille de la Bentley. Dans la capitale, sa plastique séduit un nombre très important de passants, quitte même à dérouter les appareils photos des touristes. On en profite aussi pour tester la boite en position séquentielle qui, au demeurant, ne nous semble pas réellement convenir à la philosophie de la Bentley. Les passages sont doux et rapides mais les palettes de commande sont trop petites et trop éloignées du volant.</p>
<p><strong>Prenons un peu d’air, hors de la capitale…</strong></p>
<p>Nous basculons le levier en position « S », la position Sport pour la suspension est sélectionnée et là, on change les données du problème…</p>
<p>Le son du W12 devient divin et plus sourd avec un coup de gaz lors des ralentissements, nous sommes donc très vite grisés et fenêtre ouverte nous essayons un « plein gaz »… La Bentley s’arrache comme une fusée, la direction raffermie devient précise et nous sentons même que ça tire, ça pousse, enfin que nous avons à faire à une Quattro. Etonnant comme il devient facile de conduire 610 CV sur nos routes avec 2,5tonnes sur la balance. Les lois de la physique sont bien mises à mal avec ce genre de véhicule stupéfiant, mais le résultat est convaincant. Certain seront déçus par le touché de la pédale de frein, un peu molle mais nous n’avions pas l’option Carbo-céramiques sur notre véhicule de prêt et il s’agit d’une GT, pas d’une « pistarde », ne l’oublions pas.</p>
<p>Le 0 à 100 est annoncé en 4,5 s et la vitesse maximale se situe au environ de 320 Km/h (sur circuit). Ces belles performances sont obtenues dans un écrin de cuir tendu et de moquettes épaisses mais qu’il faudra souvent ravitailler. Nous voici donc aux limites de la physique, la Bentley à soif, voire très soif quand on s’amuse un peu avec elle. C’est aussi la seule à proposer une exécution si luxueuse pour un coupé GT. Nous remarquerons aussi que les freins pourront être mis en défaut avec de telles performances. De plus, l’encombrement et son poids se font sentir lors des escapades sur route nationale.</p>
<p><strong>Diamonds are forever…</strong></p>
<p>Cette Bentley est donc magnifique, magique et politiquement incorrecte à l’heure actuelle. Mais, elle permet de voyager avec classe et distinction dans un salon roulant confortable et très performant. Une vrai alternative aux productions allemandes et Italiennes qui cultivent plus le côté agressif de la sportivité alors que Bentley nous sert un délicieux cocktail de puissance démoniaque dans un écrin de délicatesse avec ce cuir omniprésent…</p>
<p>A plus de 200 000 euros, le prix reste en adéquation avec les prestations.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;m a car nut, so when I lived in Chicago, going to the <a title="Chicago Auto Show" href="http://www.chicagoautoshow.com/index.asp" target="_blank">Chicago Auto Show</a> was pretty much an annual pilgrimage for me.  Now that I&#8217;m in Arizona, the idea of going back to Chicago in the dead of winter just to see the new models and concept cars; well, I think I&#8217;ll hold off- at least this year.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Săptămâna trecută am anunţat că deputatul AMN Veaceslav Palton a acţionat publicaţia noastră în jude]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.flux.md/sys/upload/2009/24.07.2009/p5/Plesca-colaj-bani.jpg"><img class="alignright" title="Ion Pleşca" src="http://www.flux.md/sys/upload/2009/24.07.2009/p5/Plesca-colaj-bani.jpg" alt="" width="208" height="270" /></a>Săptămâna trecută am anunţat că deputatul AMN Veaceslav Palton a acţionat publicaţia noastră în judecată. Am calificat acest gest drept un atentat la existenţa ziarului FLUX, constatând că puterea vrea să ne închidă gura prin acest proces, dar şi prin cel pe care îl avem cu un alt deputat AMN, anume Ion Pleşca. Acum revenim cu noi detalii.</p>
<p>În acest moment sunt puse pe rol două cereri îndreptate împotriva ziarului FLUX prin care reprezentaţii puterii urmăresc închiderea publicaţiei noastre, care deranjează anumite cercuri din cadrul guvernări, acestea dorind să se răzbune pentru că de-a lungul anilor am dat în vileag un şir de ilegalităţi, acte de corupţie şi chiar crime, comise de persoane din anturajul lor sau chiar din rândurile lor.</p>
<p>Atacurile vin din partea a doi membrii ai Parlamentului, ambii reprezentaţi ai Alianţei Moldova Noastră: Ion Pleşca, care deţine înalta funcţie de preşedinte al Comisiei juridice pentru numiri şi imunităţi a Parlamentului, şi Veaceslav Platon, care este membru al Comisiei parlamentare pentru (ironia sorţii!) drepturile omului.<!--more--></p>
<p>Cei doi ne-au acţionat în judecată pe motiv că prin articolele noastre le-am fi lezat demnitatea, onoarea şi reputaţia profesională, pretinzându-ne drept despăgubiri morale sume de ordinul sutelor de mii de lei, care, în cazul în care vor fi încasate, vor duce la falimentarea ziarului nostru, care nu are altă sursă de venit decât banii veniţi de la abonaţi. Instanţa i-a dat câştig de cauză lui Ion Pleşca (fără ca decizia să fie definitivă), cazul lui Veaceslav Platon nefiind deocamdată examinat pe fond. Vom arăta mai jos că decizia prin care a fost condamnat ziarul nostru este total nefondată şi presupunem că ea a fost adoptată ca urmare a unor comandamente politice venite din partea guvernanţilor, cum s-a întâmplat şi în guvernările anterioare.</p>
<p><strong>Onoarea şi demnitatea lui Ion Pleşca?</strong></p>
<p>La 4 iulie 2008, ziarul FLUX a publicat articolul „O pereche de nedespărţit sau cum s-a instalat Urechean în jilţul de primar”, semnat de liderul Partidului Popular Creştin Democrat, Iurie Roşca, la acel moment şi vicepreşedinte al Parlamentului. Pe 21 ianuarie 2009, Ion Pleşca expediază o cerere în judecată în care ne acţionează în judecată pe noi, publicaţia FLUX, dar şi postul de televiziune EURO TV Chişinău, şi pe liderul creştin-democrat Iurie Roşca. În ceea ce priveşte ziarul FLUX, Ion Pleşca pretinde că am fi făcut afirmaţii ce nu corespund realităţii, care ar fi ponegritoare şi care îi lezează onoarea, demnitatea şi reputaţia profesională. Iată cele două citate din materialul lui Iurie Roşca, invocate de Pleşca că i-ar fi lezat onoarea şi demnitatea.</p>
<p>„Gurile rele spun că în timpul aflării în funcţia de preşedinte al Judecătoriei Botanica, Ion Pleşca a reuşit să creeze o întreagă reţea de tip mafiot cu implicarea ofiţerilor din comisariatul de sector, dar şi a unor elemente criminale. Se mai zice că respectiva grupare avea relaţii strânse cu oamenii de afaceri de la Botanica, aceştia fiind constrânşi să facă “donaţii” pentru a putea să îşi desfăşoare activitatea. Sistemul funcţiona fără greş, oamenii legii mai închizând ochii la abaterile oamenilor de afaceri”.</p>
<p>„Se mai aude că acelaşi Ion Pleşca, împreună cu fostul comisar de poliţie Alexandru Mihai, ar mai avea la Sângera un ditamai centru de agrement ridicat din salariile de bugetari, care ar fi înregistrat formal pe numele unor persoane dubioase. Complexul Novas include restaurant, hotel, sală de banchete, sala de biliard etc”.</p>
<p>Judecătorul Valeriu Gâscă de la Judecătoria sectorului Râşcani al capitalei i-a dat câştig de cauză lui Ion Pleşca, obligând redacţia noastră să achite 100 de mii de lei în beneficiul acestuia, drept despăgubiri morale.</p>
<p>Incredibil, dar adevărat. Ion Pleşca a fost găsit de instanţă cu onoarea, demnitatea şi reputaţia profesională lezate. Tocmai Ion Pleşca, cel care în plină şedinţă a Parlamentului, l-a ameninţat pe Iurie Roşca în mod public cu răfuiala fizică, iar, revenit în banca sa, a imitat gestul de luare a beregatei cu cuţitul. Adică astfel se va răfui cu Iurie Roşca. Toate televiziunile au prezentat respectivele imagini. Şi acest personaj a fost recunoscut cu onoarea, demnitatea şi reputaţia profesională lezate!</p>
<p><strong>Un şir de încălcări de procedură</strong></p>
<p>Nu ne vom referi prea detailat la modul în care a decurs procesul, la faptul că judecătorul care a examinat cauza, Valeriu Gâscă, de multe ori nici nu a avut timp să asculte opinia noastră, admiţând încălcări de procedură, favorizându-l în mod evident pe Ion Pleşca. Mai mult decât atât, Consiliul Superior al Magistraturii a respins cererile noastre prin care invocam aceste încălcări de procedură. Spre exemplu, juristul nostru a sesizat mai multe abateri ale judecătorului Gâscă de la norma legală, acesta făcându-se vinovat, în opinia noastră, de emiterea actelor de justiţie în afara cadrului legal. El nu ne-a permis să prezentăm probe în sprijinul nostru, nu a acceptat audierea unui martor, a operat post-factum modificări în citaţiile de chemare în proces, schimbând ora la care urma să se prezinte părţile. Însă cel mai grav este că pe data de 30 martie judecătorul Gâscă a emis o încheiere prin care dispune reluarea examinării pricinii în fond, dar atunci când juristul nostru s-a prezentat la următoarea şedinţă a judecăţii, V. Gâscă ne-a comunicat o altă încheiere, prin care ne informează că de fapt la 30 martie 2009 el ar fi decis reluarea procesului la etapa declaraţiilor şi noi, pârâţii, nu mai avem dreptul să prezentăm probe, în felul acesta fiind lipsiţi în mod efectiv de dreptul de a ne apăra în instanţă. Mai mult, în ziua în care judecătorul Valeriu Gâscă a luat această decizie, Ion Pleşca a fost văzut de un martor, care este gata să depună mărturie în proces, la Judecătoria Râşcani, fără ca să se fi prezentat la proces. E foarte probabil că Ion Pleşca, tot el fost preşedinte al Judecătoriei sectorului Botanica din Chişinău, să se fi întâlnit cu judecătorul Valeriu Gâscă pentru a conveni asupra deciziei pronunţate de ultimul.</p>
<p>La toate aceste plângeri ale noastre preşedintele Consiliului Superior al Magistraturii, domnul Nicolae Clima, ne-a răspuns formal, menţionând doar că judecătorului Valeriu Gâscă „i s-a atras atenţia la necesitatea supravegherii corespunzătoare a procesului de citare a părţilor în proces”. Dar, vorba aia: mulţumim şi pentru atât!</p>
<p><strong>O decizie judecătorească abuzivă şi incorectă</strong></p>
<p>Cum am mai spus, toate acestea sunt detalii de procedură. Să trecem acum însă la fondul problemei.</p>
<p>Decizia luată de instanţă este, în opinia noastră, una incorectă şi abuzivă pentru că ziarul FLUX nu s-a pronunţat în nici un fel în acest articol asupra persoanei lui Ion Pleşca, ci doar a publicat un material care conţinea opinia altei persoane, a lui Iurie Roşca. Publicând articolul „O pereche de nedespărţit sau cum s-a instalat Urechean în jilţul de primar”, FLUX-ul nu a făcut altceva decât să aducă la cunoştinţa cititorilor părerea unei persoane publice, a liderului PPCD Iurie Roşca, dânsul fiind în acel moment deputat şi vicepreşedinte al Parlamentului, despre o altă persoană publică – deputatul AMN Ion Pleşca. Ziarul FLUX nu poate fi făcut responsabil de declaraţiile făcute de un terţ, de nişte declaraţii care nu ne aparţin. Prin decizia luată de instanţa de la Râşcani au fost, pur şi simplu, neglijate Principiile Curţii Europene a Drepturilor Omului, care în punctul 12 prevede expres că „un ziar sau jurnalist nu pot fi găsiţi vinovaţi de calomnie, dacă publică declaraţiile altor persoane, atâta vreme cât este foarte clar că declaraţiile respective nu aparţin jurnalistului sau ziarului respectiv”. Faptul că instanţa ne-a găsit, totuşi, vinovaţi demonstrează că s-a urmărit premeditat condamnarea noastră şi aplicarea acestei amenzi enorme, care poate duce la paralizarea economică a ziarului.</p>
<p><strong>Puterea vrea să ne pună căluşul în gură printr-un proces de judecată</strong></p>
<p>Instanţa a neglijat şi dreptul publicului de a cunoaşte ce gândeşte un politician despre un alt politician, până la urmă aceasta fiind o informaţie de interes public. Înţelegem că acum puterea încearcă să ne intimideze, să ne pună căluşul în gură prin acest proces, ca noi, ziariştii de la FLUX, să nu îndrăznim să mai publicăm materiale şi informaţii despre modul în care este exercitată guvernarea în ţara noastră. Acesta e un obiectiv urmărit cu precădere şi aproape în permanenţă de către guvernanţi în cazul ziarului FLUX.</p>
<p><strong>Instanţa a neglijat în mod ostentativ prevederile Convenţiei pentru Apărarea Drepturilor Omului şi a Libertăţilor Fundamentale</strong></p>
<p>Instanţa nu a ţinut cont nici de faptul că Articolul 10 al Convenţiei pentru Apărarea Drepturilor Omului şi a Libertăţilor Fundamentale stipulează că „Orice persoană are dreptul la libera exprimare. Acest drept cuprinde libertatea de opinie şi libertatea de a primi sau de a comunica informaţii sau idei fără amestecul autorităţilor publice …”. În interpretarea acestui articol, CEDO precizează că libertatea de exprimare este aplicabilă şi în cazul ideilor şi informaţiilor care ofensează, şochează sau îngrijorează statul. Şi Iurie Roşca are tot dreptul să exprime şi să difuzeze idei şi informaţii. Condamnarea lui pentru publicarea unui articol constituie un abuz care trădează ticuri autoritare şi revanşarde ale actualii guvernări. Mai ales că motivul acestei condamnări este unul inventat. Dacă judecătorul ar fi catadicsit să-şi aplece urechea şi la argumentele noastre, nu doar la pretenţiile pecuniare mult prea exagerate, orgoliile bolnăvicioase şi pornirile revanşarde ale reclamantului, ar fi observat că în aliniatele cu pricina autorul nu a adus o acuzaţie calomnioasă împotriva lui Pleşca, ci doar a constatat o stare de fapt şi anume ce vorbeşte lumea despre afacerile fostului preşedinte al Judecătoriei Botanica, folosind formulări, aş spune, chiar nevinovate de genul „gurile rele spun că în timpul…”, „Se mai zice că respectiva grupare…”, „se mai aude că acelaşi Ion Pleşca…”. Unde mai pui că Pleşca este deputat în Parlamentul Republicii Moldova, şi ca un politician de rang înalt trebuie să accepte o critică mai mare din partea presei. La 9 octombrie 2006, Plenul Curţii Supreme de Justiţie a adoptat Hotărârea cu privire la aplicarea justiţiei ce se referă la onoarea şi reputaţia profesională în care constată: „Limitarea unui jurnalist în libertatea de exprimare în contextul dezbaterilor unei probleme de interes public în privinţa unui politician , îndeosebi de rang înalt, constituie o încălcare a articolului 10 al CEDO”. Drept exemplu Plenul Curţii Supreme de Justiţie aduce hotărârea CEDO din 12.02.2008, în cauza FLUX nr. 4 contra Moldovei.</p>
<p><strong>Iurie Roşca, persecutat pentru opiniile exprimate în exercitarea mandatului de deputat</strong></p>
<p>În acel moment Iurie Roşca era şi el deputat. Acum, când oponenţii săi au ajuns la guvernare, Iurie Roşca este persecutat pentru luările de atitudine din perioada în care era şi el deputat. Iar Articolul 9 al Legii privind Statutul Deputatului în Parlament prevede că „Deputatul nu poate fi persecutat sau tras la răspundere juridică sub nici o formă pentru opiniile politice sau voturile exprimate în exercitarea mandatului”. Acelaşi lucru îl stabileşte şi Articolul 71 „Independenţa opiniilor” al Legii Supreme, pe care instanţa l-a neglijat cu desăvârşire.</p>
<p><strong>O acţiune orchestrată a ştabilor AMN împotriva FLUX</strong></p>
<p>Bineînţeles, noi am atacat respectiva decizie în instanţele ierarhic superioare. Nu ne vom da bătuţi. Dacă va fi cazul, vom merge din nou la CEDO, unde am câştigat deja 6 dosare intentate guvernărilor de până acum, şi vom face totul pentru a le oferi abonaţilor noştri, tuturor cititorilor noştri, un produs de calitate, cum este FLUX. Între timp, vom continua să informăm cititorii şi opinia publică despre modul în care se desfăşoară respectivele procese. În ediţia viitoare vom arăta ce legătură există între cazul lui Ion Pleşca îndreptat împotriva ziarului nostru şi cel al deputatului Veaceslav Platon, care de-a lungul timpului a fost cercetat penal pentru tot felul de infracţiuni şi crime economice, dar care astăzi îndură cumplite suferinţe morale, şi, la fel ca şi colegul său Ion Pleşca, ne pretinde să-l despăgubim nici mai mult nici mai puţin decât cu suma de 100 000 de lei. Am spus că aceste atacuri constituie o acţiune orchestrată a ştabilor AMN, care au decis să acţioneze agresiv şi revanşard imediat ce s-au pomenit şi ei putere.</p>
<p>Vom reveni negreşit. Fiţi cu ochii pe noi, dragi cititori. Aşa cum suntem şi noi cu ochii pe ei, pe cei care au cam ameţit de propria importanţă şi acum caută să ne sugrume.</p>

<p>&#8220;Le mec sans une thune qui lit son livre dans un parc, qui pêche à la ligne ou qui ramasse des châtaignes, est aussi libre que moi. Je respecte ça aussi.&#8221; Aussi incroyable que cela puisse paraître, cette phrase pleine de philosophie rousseauiste est signée Booba. Notre collaborateur Arnaud Sagnard a rencontré le rappeur français numéro 1 à l&#8217;occasion de la sortie de sa nouvelle mixtape <em>Autopsie volume 3</em> (Because Music).

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://www.chanel.com/"></a><a href="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/upper-luxury-car.jpg"></a><a href="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/upper-luxury-car1.jpg"></a><a href="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mid-luxury-bag.jpg"></a>I’m sure most women often get blasted by remarks on why we buy so many handbags when we probably only need a few.  Well my answer to you is that “we can, we like, so we buy”.  A luxurious handbag, one that nestly sits at least above $250, is a superb gift for any girl to receive; under stretching your wallet when purchasing will only exemplify a man’s lack of understanding on women and also that they’re cheap.  Cheap is the number 1 no-no in the girls guide to dating 101!  Anyways handbags are a daily essential for women; let’s see, we carry our couture wallet, mirror, lip gloss, make up case, keys, etc…. Men, on the other hand, seem to get away with carrying a little clutter in that little pocket behind their butt.   </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you are a man reading this your brain is probably still looped in a knot. I myself am an enthusiast on understanding gender differences in an effort to scale down any ugly unconscious ignorant behavior.  So to be fair, let me kindly provide the gents with a more testosterone driven example to understand our obsession over luxurious ($250+) handbags.  On an apple to apple basis, women value handbags just the way men value their cars.  A dowdy handbag is like a bad hair cut that will add 10 years to a girl in her prime years.   Using the same, but reversed, analogy, an aging 50-year-old dude driving a Ferrari 458 Italia will attract girls up to a century younger than his age! </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So very much like cars, handbags are a status symbol in society; the more luxurious “it” handbag we carry the higher the rank in enviable-ability and desirability we’re perceived by others.  Similarly, a guy racing down the street in a prestigious fast car will probably be overwhelmed with a rush of cocky adrenaline.   Like women buying expensive handbags to flaunt, I do believe a lot of men buy cars to make other men jealous.  Some may view this behavior as insecurity but you can’t deny the reality that beauty always over wins the beast.  Elegance and quality does come with a price and expensive handbags and cars are priced at that latitude for a reason. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Both designer handbags and cars have a resell value.  With that said I would go as far as saying that unlike cars, handbags do not depreciate in value as poorly.  An uber luxurious handbag will rarely depreciate at all in value and will actually appreciate in value like a piece of  Picasso painting. For example, if I can get my hands on a limited edition designer handbag, like the Chanel “Diamond forever” Classic bag, it will be an $261,000 investment that will only incrementally grow in value year over year.   Only thirteen of these pricey Chanel bags were created with only five available stateside. The alligator-skin bags featured clasps set with 334 diamonds (3.56 carat) in the shape of Chanel’s trademark double-C logo. Eighteen carat white gold was used to fashion both the clasp and the bag’s long shoulder strap.  I admit $261,000 may be a bit off the chart pricey but there are many other limited edition handbags with a long wait list that are potential profitable winners in the near future. Now compare this to the no name brand $20 Walmart handbag and you will have lost more than your $20,nonetheless the lack ability to make money on it!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Again much like cars the definition of ‘luxury handbags do have sub-categories; there is the upper-echelon luxury handbags, the mid luxury handbags, and the budget luxury handbags.  I am by far no car aficionado but let me just provide you a comparable gist of the similarity between cars and handbags</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">UPPER-ECHELON LUXURY</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Examples of upper-echelon luxury handbags includes Chanel, Givenchy, and Hermes</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hermes.jpg"></a><a href="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/chanel_givenchy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-915" title="CHANEL and GIVENCHY" src="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/chanel_givenchy.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="267" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hermes1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-920  aligncenter" title="HERMES" src="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hermes1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="308" /></a></p>
<p><img title="Upper-Echelon Luxury Cars" src="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/upper-luxury-car1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="449" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">MID-LUXURY</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Examples of mid-luxury handbags includes Botkier, KALE, and EKatrina New York</p>
<p> <img title="Mid-Luxury Handbags: Botkier, EKatrina New York, KALE " src="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mid-luxury-bag.jpg" alt="" width="566" height="489" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/luxury-car.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-924" title="Mid-Luxury Cars" src="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/luxury-car.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="430" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">BUDGET LUXURY</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Examples of budget luxury handbags includes Trace by KALE and Tres by Treesje </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/budget-luxury-bags.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-925" title="Budget Luxury Handbags: Trace by KALE, Tres by Treesje" src="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/budget-luxury-bags.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="385" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/budget-car.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-926" title="Budget Luxury Cars" src="http://skinmint.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/budget-car.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="394" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Despite categories, all handbags preempted luxurious are all of quality and class and just might be worth spending your next pay check on.  All in all handbags are just one of these designer products that makes the female population go crazy over.  So women can be a bit irrationally crazy at times, but what’s new right!?  So boyfriends/husbands out there, tis the season of giving so go out and buy your girl a luxury handbag, preferably in the upper-echelon sector for me please!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ne mélangeons pas les torchons et les serviettes, ou plutôt le carbone et le silicone ! A GQ, nous sommes très à cheval sur le style, et les ordinateurs rebadgés par une célèbre marque de voiture de sport sont donc définitivement proscrits. Ce concept vient d’être élu officiellement comme la meilleure fausse bonne idée de l’année. La preuve par trois.</p>

La coque de l’écran 11,6 pouces peinte en rouge arbore l’écusson de la marque. 450 euros, c’est très abordable pour une Ferrari, mais un peu cher pour un notebook.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-weight:bold;">OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE</p>
<p>- Dr. Joachim Schmidt: &#8220;We will continue this positive trend, and we expect sales in the fourth quarter to be above last year&#8217;s level.&#8221;<br />- Record sales in China &#8211; Schmidt: &#8220;We expect Mercedes-Benz Cars to increase its sales in China by more than 50 percent in full-year 2009.&#8221;<br />- Mercedes-Benz USA posts best monthly result since the beginning of the year, with sales up by 21 percent in October<br />- E- and S-Class sedans maintain market leadership </p>
<p>Stuttgart, Germany, Nov 06, 2009 &#8211; In October, global sales were up at Mercedes-Benz for the first time this year. Mercedes-Benz was able to increase sales significantly in October by seven percent to 88,400 units (October 2008: 82,500. The smart brand sold 9,300 (October 2008: 11,300) units (minus 18 percent). With the delivery of 97,700 passenger cars (October 2008: 93,800), total sales at Mercedes-Benz Cars increased by four percent. The October sales increase was due to the E-Class and the new generation of the S-Class as well as to high growth rates in many regions such as North America and Asia/Pacific. Sales of Mercedes-Benz vehicles were also above last year&#8217;s level in Western Europe.</span></p>
<p><span class="fullpost"><br />&#8220;We will continue this positive trend in the coming months, and we expect sales in the fourth quarter to be above the level of the same period of last year,&#8221; said Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Head of Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars. Contributing to this development will be the new E-Class and the new generation S-Class, as well as the ongoing strong growth rates in the Asia/Pacific region, particularly in China. By the end of September, Mercedes-Benz had already sold more vehicles in China than in all of last year. Says Schmidt: &#8220;Mercedes-Benz Cars will continue to grow at a dynamic rate in China, and we expect the increase for 2009 as a whole to amount to more than 50 percent.&#8221; </p>
<p>In October Mercedes-Benz once again set a sales record in China, with sales rising by 78 percent to 6,600 units (October 2008: 3,700). As a result, since the start of the year, Mercedes-Benz has been the fastest-growing premium brand in China. In October, Mercedes-Benz Cars also delivered more vehicles than ever before to the Asia/Pacific region as a whole, handing over 14,100 passenger vehicles to customers (October 2008: 10,500) for an increase of 34 percent. High growth rates were also posted in October in Australia (up 22 percent) and South Korea (up 63 percent).</p>
<p>In the United States, October was the best month of the year so far for Mercedes-Benz. Sales bucked the general market trend, rising by 21 percentto 18,200 units (October 2008: 15,000). This was the first time this year that sales were substantially higher than in 2008, and ensured that Mercedes-Benz remains the strongest German premium brand in the U.S. Contributing factors here included the E-Class, deliveries of which tripled to 6,100 units, and the GLK, which was once again the best-selling vehicle in its class in October, with deliveries of 1,800 units. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz posted another sales record in Canada in October, increasing customer deliveries by 28 percent to 2,200 passenger vehicles (October 2008: 1,700).</p>
<p>In the Western Europe region (not including Germany), Mercedes-Benz increased its sales by seven percent in October, thanks in particular to the high increases for the new E-Class. The brand enjoyed strong growth amounting to 55 percent in the UK, with a total of 5,800 units sold. </p>
<p>Sales of new E-Class continued to develop positively in the past month, with worldwide deliveries doubling in October to 17,100 units. Double-digit sales increases were registered in almost all markets. That made it once again the clear market leader in its segment. The company expects the launch of the new station wagon, which can be seen at dealerships starting on November 21, to give an additional positive boost to the E-Class family. </p>
<p>The new generation of the S-Class also got off to a successful start. Worldwide sales of the S-Class sedan were slightly above the previous year&#39;s level. Since the beginning of this year, the sedan has been the best-selling sedan in its segment. In China, which is now the biggest market for the S-Class, 1,100 luxury sedans were delivered to customers in October alone, which represents an increase of 12 percent. The sedan also sold very well in Germany, with an increase of 42 percent, and in Japan, where October sales increased by 13 percent. Mercedes-Benz sold 15,100 units of its SUVs worldwide (2008: 14,800), with an increase of two percent. The GLK, which was especially popular, enjoyed mainly double-digit growth rates in the Western European markets.</p>

- Record sales in China &#8211; Schmidt: &#8220;We expect Mercedes-Benz Cars to increase its sales in China by more than 50 percent in full-year 2009.&#8221;<br />
- Mercedes-Benz USA posts best monthly result since the beginning of the year, with sales up by 21 percent in October<br />
- E- and S-Class sedans maintain market leadership </p>
<p>Stuttgart, Germany, Nov 06, 2009 &#8211; In October, global sales were up at Mercedes-Benz for the first time this year. Mercedes-Benz was able to increase sales significantly in October by seven percent to 88,400 units (October 2008: 82,500. The smart brand sold 9,300 (October 2008: 11,300) units (minus 18 percent). With the delivery of 97,700 passenger cars (October 2008: 93,800), total sales at Mercedes-Benz Cars increased by four percent. The October sales increase was due to the E-Class and the new generation of the S-Class as well as to high growth rates in many regions such as North America and Asia/Pacific. Sales of Mercedes-Benz vehicles were also above last year&#8217;s level in Western Europe.</i></b></p>
<p>&#8220;We will continue this positive trend in the coming months, and we expect sales in the fourth quarter to be above the level of the same period of last year,&#8221; said Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Head of Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars. Contributing to this development will be the new E-Class and the new generation S-Class, as well as the ongoing strong growth rates in the Asia/Pacific region, particularly in China. By the end of September, Mercedes-Benz had already sold more vehicles in China than in all of last year. Says Schmidt: &#8220;Mercedes-Benz Cars will continue to grow at a dynamic rate in China, and we expect the increase for 2009 as a whole to amount to more than 50 percent.&#8221; </p>
<p>In October Mercedes-Benz once again set a sales record in China, with sales rising by 78 percent to 6,600 units (October 2008: 3,700). As a result, since the start of the year, Mercedes-Benz has been the fastest-growing premium brand in China. In October, Mercedes-Benz Cars also delivered more vehicles than ever before to the Asia/Pacific region as a whole, handing over 14,100 passenger vehicles to customers (October 2008: 10,500) for an increase of 34 percent. High growth rates were also posted in October in Australia (up 22 percent) and South Korea (up 63 percent).</p>
<p>In the United States, October was the best month of the year so far for Mercedes-Benz. Sales bucked the general market trend, rising by 21 percentto 18,200 units (October 2008: 15,000). This was the first time this year that sales were substantially higher than in 2008, and ensured that Mercedes-Benz remains the strongest German premium brand in the U.S. Contributing factors here included the E-Class, deliveries of which tripled to 6,100 units, and the GLK, which was once again the best-selling vehicle in its class in October, with deliveries of 1,800 units. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz posted another sales record in Canada in October, increasing customer deliveries by 28 percent to 2,200 passenger vehicles (October 2008: 1,700).</p>
<p>In the Western Europe region (not including Germany), Mercedes-Benz increased its sales by seven percent in October, thanks in particular to the high increases for the new E-Class. The brand enjoyed strong growth amounting to 55 percent in the UK, with a total of 5,800 units sold. </p>
<p>Sales of new E-Class continued to develop positively in the past month, with worldwide deliveries doubling in October to 17,100 units. Double-digit sales increases were registered in almost all markets. That made it once again the clear market leader in its segment. The company expects the launch of the new station wagon, which can be seen at dealerships starting on November 21, to give an additional positive boost to the E-Class family. </p>
<p>The new generation of the S-Class also got off to a successful start. Worldwide sales of the S-Class sedan were slightly above the previous year&#39;s level. Since the beginning of this year, the sedan has been the best-selling sedan in its segment. In China, which is now the biggest market for the S-Class, 1,100 luxury sedans were delivered to customers in October alone, which represents an increase of 12 percent. The sedan also sold very well in Germany, with an increase of 42 percent, and in Japan, where October sales increased by 13 percent. Mercedes-Benz sold 15,100 units of its SUVs worldwide (2008: 14,800), with an increase of two percent. The GLK, which was especially popular, enjoyed mainly double-digit growth rates in the Western European markets.</p>

<p>	For 2010 the Legacy looks more aggressive and sporty. The headlights are angled more, the character lines create a more muscular look, along with bigger wheel arches. The Legacy has a more modern, mainstream, Japanese appearance. It will be more competitive in the midsize sedan segment, but it&#39;s aggressive styling wouldn&#39;t look at home in a forest carrying mountain bikes like the old Legacy did.</p>
<p>While the exterior doesn&#39;t give thoughts of the usual Subaru activities of hiking and kayaking, the interior gives impressions of a more mainstream midsize sedan at home in mall parking lots. Comfortably designed for the driver and passenger with easy to use controls, soft cream leather seats, and class leading passenger space. Steering wheel controls are standard on the 2.5i Limited are well laid out and easy for the driver to use. Subaru&#39;s shortcomings in quality with their use of hard plastic, flimsy door panels, and cheap wood trim left me disappointed, while the previous generation Legacy excelled in quality.</p>
<p>Subaru has used it&#39;s new Lineartronic CVT transmission in the new Legacy. It provides a very smooth drive with gearshifts that are as smooth as a hot knife through butter. The paddle shifters are possibly the easiest I&#39;ve ever used for manual shifting and coupled with the CVT provide a smooth ride. The base 2.5 liter engine feels very underpowered. Subaru&#39;s have been known to have a tighter suspension and this Legacy is completely different. The drive feels more like an everyday sedan focused more on driver comfort than a Subaru has ever been. Everyday driving is more polished and tranquilizing than the previous generation Legacy. I took the Legacy through some winding country roads where Subarus usually shine, and was very surprised. Clumsiness and body roll plagued the Legacy like an old woman without her walker. The 2.5 liter 170 hp engine made the Legacy feel underpowered and heavy. The other two optional 256 or 265 hp engines would make the Legacy feel more capable for everyday driving. Even with Subaru&#39;s all wheel drive system it felt as though it lacked Subaru&#39;s willingness to go off road, instead focusing on a smooth and comfortable drive for those city folk.</p>
<p>The redesigned Legacy is a Subaru aimed more towards a mainstream market. It&#39;s comfortable ride and cabin make for a pleasing highway and city drive. Aggressive styling coupled with it&#39;s soft ride may scare away some loyal Subaru owners and attract a different buyer. The Legacy lacks what makes Subaru a Subaru. It has evolved into a mainstream car, one that won&#39;t be found driving through dirt trails or going on camping trips, instead will be at home on highways and city streets.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Carsale</em></p>
<p>O mercado norte-americano já deu sinais de recuperação da crise econômica nos últimos meses. Mas ainda não será esse ano que as grandes festas da indústria automobilística local terão seu prestígio resgatado. De acordo com o The Detroit Bureau, website gerenciado por jornalistas do meio automotivo, o tradicional Salão do Automóvel de Los Angeles, nos Estados Unidos, aberto entre os dias 4 e 13 de dezembro, terá ausências importantes entre as fabricantes de modelos de alto luxo.</p>
<p>Segundo a publicação, a britânica Bentley e as italianas Ferrari, Maserati e Lamborghini não participarão da feira em 2009. A justificativa é a mesma que tirou diversas marcas do Salão de Detroit, em janeiro: redução de custos. Uma das únicas confirmadas na mostra é a Aston Martin, que deve ter um estande discreto feito em parceria com os concessionários da marca inglesa localizados na região da costa oeste ianque. O êxodo das fabricantes de alto luxo também pegou os organizadores de surpresa. Los Angeles é uma das cidades que mais consomem veículos do gênero naquele país.</p>

Acest text este semnat de colegul meu, redactorul-şef de la FLUX, Nicolae Federiuc. </em></p>
<p>Comisia Electorală Centrală (CEC) a respins un demers al Procuraturii municipiului Chişinău prin care se cerea excluderea din competiţia electorală a unui candidat care figurează în lista Alianţei Moldova Noastră (AMN), cercetat penal pentru tentativă de furt în proporţii deosebit de mari.<!--more--></p>
<p>Demersul Procuraturii era motivat prin faptul că Veaceslav Platon (numărul 67 în lista electorală a lui Urechean), care deţine funcţia de vicepreşedinte al BC „Moldindconbank” SA, este învinuit de comiterea infracţiunii prevăzute de art. 27, 195, alin. (2) Cod Penal – tentativă de însuşire în proporţii deosebit de mari din avutul proprietarului. Astfel, procurorul Marin Popa a cerut consimţământul Comisiei Electorale Centrale în ceea ce priveşte tragerea la răspundere penală a candidatului AMN la funcţia de deputat, respectiv reţinerea şi aplicarea măsurii preventive – arestul.</p>
<p><strong>Cine e Veaceslav Platon şi de ce acesta nu trebuie să devină deputat</strong></p>
<p>Din surse sigure am aflat că Veaceslav Platon este considerat un maestru al combinaţiilor din umbră, întrucât acesta se bucură de sprijinul unui grup important de judecători din Republica Moldova, aceste relaţii aducându-i venituri fabuloase. Veaceslav Platon a jucat un rol cheie în tentativa de falimentare a SA „Bucuria”, „Regia Transport Electric” şi alte companii importante din Republica Moldova, Ucraina şi chiar Rusia.</p>
<p>Ce l-a determinat pe acest om, cu o biografie mai mult decât dubioasă, să se bage în politică şi anume în partidul diriguit de „naşul” Serafim?</p>
<p>Sursele noastre ne-au informat că şi Veaceslav Platon, care, în prezent, este situat pe locul 67 din lista electorală a AMN, va fi schimbat, pe ultima sută de metri, pe un loc eligibil din listă, astfel încât acesta să poată deveni deputat. Adică se va proceda exact ca şi în cazul lui Victor Cibotaru, persoana pe al cărei nume sunt trecute proprietăţile lui Urechean şi care a fost înscris iniţial pe locul 90, după care a fost tras în faţă pe poziţia cu numărul 9 în lista electorală (cei care vor să afle mai multe despre acest caz îl pot găsi în ediţia din 17 februarie 2009 a ziarului FLUX sau pe pagina web http://www.flux.md/articole/5728/).</p>
<p><strong>Deturnări, înşelăciune şi şantaj, sub protecţia lui Sangheli</strong></p>
<p>În lista electorală, Veaceslav Platon este trecut drept „jurist, referent în Direcţia relaţii externe a BC Moldindconbank”, deşi, încă în 2005, acesta era cunoscut ca fiind un magnat în domeniul atomo-energetic ucrainean. Este originar din Căuşeni şi a absolvit dreptul, unde a şi învăţat cum poţi încălca legea fără să fii pedepsit. Prima implicare de facto în politică a lui Veaceslav Platon a avut loc în 1998, când a fost ales membru al Consiliului Municipal Chişinău pe listele blocului electoral al agrarienilor.</p>
<p>Cu titlu de paranteză, menţionăm că tatăl lui Veaceslav Platon, Nicolae Platon, este suspectat că ar dirija mai multe firme şi firmuliţe implicate în crime financiare pe teritoriul mai multor ţări, în special în Moldova.</p>
<p>Cariera de afacerist Veaceslav Platon şi-a început-o în 1994, fiind susţinut de Andrei Sangheli, la acel moment prim-ministru al Republicii Moldova, care era în relaţii bune cu tatăl lui Platon. În primă fază, acesta a pus pe roate o grupare (compusă din fraţii Ghenadie şi Sergiu Gladcov, Andrei Bahcicanji, Svetlana Jechiu, Iurie Kontievschi, Valeriu Măciuca), care figurau doar „pe hârtie” ca fondatori sau manageri ai firmelor controlate de eroul nostru.</p>
<p>Tot în 1994, Veaceslav Platon devine vicepreşedinte al Consiliului de Administrare al BCA „Moldindconbank”, apoi şi vicepreşedinte al Consiliului BCA „Investprivatbank”. Gurile rele spun că Platon şi-ar fi însuşit aceste posturi prin înşelăciune, după ce a achitat o sumă consistentă de bani.</p>
<p>Exact în perioada când Republica Moldova, aflată sub guvernarea agrarienilor, îndura lipsuri şi foame, Veaceslav Platon diriguia un şir întreg de afaceri bazate, în mare parte, pe furturi şi ţepe. Capitalul iniţial a fost acumulat de către gruparea condusă de Platon în urma mai multor operaţiuni de recuperare a datoriilor de la gospodăriile agricole care luau cu împrumut chimicale şi îngrăşăminte de la asociaţiile „Fertilitate Străşeni” şi „Fertilitate Călăraşi”.</p>
<p>Bucurându-se de susţinere la cel mai înalt nivel, Platon a obţinut dreptul unic de a colecta grâu alimentar şi alte produse agricole de la gospodăriile şi asociaţiile ţărăneşti din contul achitării datoriilor. În urma acestor afaceri, producţia colectată a fost comercializată, iar datoriile asociaţiilor gospodăreşti, în valoare de peste 5 milioane de dolari, aşa şi nu au mai fost stinse de către Platon. Prin urmare, ţăranii au rămas şi datori, şi fără producţia pentru care au muncit în sudoarea frunţii.</p>
<p>Ulterior, prin aceeaşi metodă, a urmat o istorie întreagă de acţiuni de „stingere” a datoriilor faţă de buget, cei vizaţi fiind agenţi economici care activau pe teritoriul Republicii Moldova.</p>
<p><strong>Magnatul zahărului moldovenesc</strong></p>
<p>Între timp, Platon a început să colecteze zahăr (la un preţ derizoriu), devenind, ulterior, prin metode dubioase, posesor al pachetelor de acţiuni la un şir întreg de fabrici.</p>
<p>În anul 1999, gruparea condusă de Platon acaparează fraudulos pachetele de control sau de blocare ale SA „Cupcini-Cristal” (68%), SA „Glodeni-zahăr” (61%), SA „Combinatul de zahăr din Alexandreni” (37%), SA „Frunză” (20%) şi SA „Fabrica de zahăr din Făleşti” (23%). Afacerile cu valorile mobiliare erau efectuate prin intermediul fondului de investiţie „Nord Invest” SA şi alte structuri comerciale, controlate de Platon.</p>
<p>Acaparând principalele fabrici din ţară, gruparea Platon a preluat controlul şi asupra activităţii lor. Acesta se ocupa, în special, de procesul de aprovizionare şi comercializare, care era efectuat doar prin intermediul firmelor controlate de Platon, printre care cele mai importante erau: „Lumânare”, „Neîmblânzit”, „Tindarei”, „Colbost”, „Ukrintertrans”, „Norvis Trading Inc”, „Penfei”, „Hriseida”, „Cupcini-Cristal”, „Asinco”, „Delta-E”, ÎM „Balcombe”, „Liminor”, „Fertilitate-Călăraşi”, „Nepotean”, „Pinar-Com”, „Rambero”, „Alcor”.</p>
<p>Activitatea principală a grupării conduse de Platon era crearea de datorii artificiale agenţilor economici de stat faţă de „firmele platonice”. Astfel, după un şir de înţelegeri prealabile cu factorii de decizie, acesta determina întreprinderile de stat să procure utilaje inutile şi la un preţ cu mult peste valoarea lor. În rezultat, acestea îşi creau datorii faţă de Platon, din contul cărora el obţinea proprietăţi personale, prin intermediul mai multor firme fictive sau „fantome”. Prin aceeaşi metodă se practica acapararea de bunuri ale întreprinderilor „cu probleme”, prin spălarea banilor şi prin eschivarea de la plata impozitelor care se ridicau la sume de milioane.</p>
<p>Operaţiuni de cumpărare-vânzare a utilajului au fost efectuate în perioada 2000-2001 prin intermediul SA „Glodeni-Zahăr” (valoarea tranzacţiilor ridicându-se de peste 7 milioane de dolari SUA) şi SA „Cupcini-Cristal” (în valoare de 3,2 milioane de dolari SUA).</p>
<p>În anul 2001, gruparea dirijată de Platon a nimerit în atenţia poliţiei, pe cazul dispariţiei de la depozitele firmei „Balcombe” (or. Vatra) a 3 000 tone de zahăr, în valoare de peste 14 milioane de lei. Procuratura municipiului Chişinău a intentat un dosar penal, bănuiţi fiind directorul firmei „Balcombe”, Măciuca Valeriu Gheorghe (organizator), Kontievschi Iurie Valentin, Renchez Oleg Boris, Laşco Valeriu Gheorghe şi, bineînţeles, Platon Veaceslav. Anchetarea cazului a fost însă stopată, graţie unei „atenţii” de 50 mii de dolari.</p>
<p>Prima confruntare cu justiţia nu l-a speriat însă pe Platon, „afacerile” fiind demarate în continuare. Astfel, tot în 2001, poliţia descoperă o operaţiune de export al unui container pentru transportarea deşeurilor radioactive TK-13 în Federaţia Rusă, stabilind că acest container, care aparţinea lui Platon, a fost introdus iniţial în Republica Moldova prin contrabandă. Exportul a fost efectuat prin intermediul SA „Cupcini-Cristal” spre SA „Tehnologhia i Industria Profi” (firmă fictivă din Federaţia Rusă), contra sumei de 3,2 milioane lei. În consecinţă, a fost iniţiată o cauză penală, în care s-a stabilit că tranzacţia a fost efectuată doar „pe hârtie” şi că acelaşi container a fost „exportat” de mai multe ori către diverse firme, inclusiv fantome sau off-shore, astfel fiind spălate sume de milioane, fiind, totodată, create artificial datorii la companiile care urmau a fi aduse forţat la faliment.</p>
<p>Circulaţia mijloacelor financiare prin firmele dirijate de Platon era efectuată prin intermediul băncii „Moldindconbank”, pe parcursul unei singure zi. Prin metode similare, Platon a preluat controlul asupra BCA „Investprivatbank” şi BCA „Moldindconbank”, prin care gruparea sa efectua majoritatea tranzacţiilor bancare. Tot prin intermediul acestor bănci, erau transferate veniturile obţinute ilegal din tranzacţiile cu utilaje, zahăr ş.a., în conturile bancare ale firmelor off-shore controlate, de asemenea, de Platon: „Morganville Enterprise Ltd.” (Bahamas), „Ergo Tech LLC”, „Riverside Express LLC” şi multe altele.</p>
<p>În anul 2000, Banca Naţională a Moldovei a stopat tentativa emisiei de către Platon, prin intermediul SA „Glodeni-Zahăr”, a hârtiilor de valoare care valorau de 25 milioane de lei, efectuată în scopul exportului ilegal de capital din ţară în adresa unei bănci off-shore „Saturn Bank LLC” din SUA, care, la acel moment, era deja inexistentă.</p>
<p>Unul din partenerii lui Platon în aceste afaceri criminale a fost Valeriu Laşco, care era cunoscut în lumea interlopă drept „Carlic”. După nişte neînţelegeri de ordin „financiar”, Laşco, alias „Carlic”, care avea relaţii în poliţie şi procuratură, l-a „vândut” pe Platon organelor de anchetă şi, astfel, în aprilie 2001, Platon a fost reţinut, fiind ţinut sub arest pe parcursul a câtorva luni. După această trădare, Laşco a fost nevoit să se refugieze în Germania, iar la întoarcere (în 2007) a fost asasinat în Transnistria.</p>
<p><strong>„Afacerile” din domeniul atomoelectric</strong></p>
<p>Totodată, începând cu anul 1999, gruparea Platon s-a specializat şi în „tranzacţii” de genul celor enumerate mai sus, de această dată, în domeniul energetic, efectuate cu furnizorii de energie electrică din Ucraina. Majoritatea tranzacţiilor dubioase au fost efectuate prin intermediul unei firme controlate de Platon, SRL „Zajacond”. Astfel, prin preluarea datoriilor faţă de staţia atomoelectrică din Iujno-Ukrainsk, firma lui Platon a colectat pe teritoriul Moldovei produse în valoare totală de circa 4,7 milioane de dolari, pentru a fi exportate în Ucraina, în contul datoriilor. Şi de această dată, datoria faţă de firmele ucrainene nu a fost stinsă de către Platon. În 2001, în cadrul aceloraşi operaţiuni a fost efectuată o tentativă de a prelua în contul datoriilor şi hidrocentrala de la Costeşti.</p>
<p>Pentru asigurarea succesului afacerilor murdare, gruparea lui Platon utilizează serviciile economiştilor, auditorilor, juriştilor, avocaţilor, specialiştilor bancari care îl ajută să profite de lacunele legislaţiei în vigoare şi care îi sugerează diverse scheme ilicite de delapidări. Pentru a-şi dezvolta şi proteja afacerile sale, Veaceslav Platon mituia cu sume considerabile demnitari de stat din aparatul executiv şi organe de drept. Astfel, acesta obţinea, de fiecare dată, câştig de cauză în problemele cu care se confrunta.</p>
<p>La finele anului 2001, când se afla deja în atenţia justiţiei, Veaceslav Platon îşi reduce afacerile pe teritoriul Republicii Moldova, orientându-se spre alte ţări. Activele deţinute la fabricile „Glodeni-Zahăr” SA şi „Cupcini-Cristal” SA, în anul 2002, le-a cedat unui investitor rus pe nume Marat Safin, interesele căruia le reprezintă întreprinderea moldo-rusă „Codapun” SRL. De asemenea, Platon a cedat o parte din acţiunile deţinute în BCA „Investprivatbank” unor cercuri de afaceri din Rusia. Hârtiile de valoare deţinute în ţară au fost înstrăinate, cu încălcări grave, prin diferite firme interpuse, în special off-shore, prin contracte de gaj. Ca urmare a acestor înstrăinări, în Republica Moldova nu au fost repatriate mijloace financiare sau materiale importante, rezultate din înstrăinarea acţiunilor care au aparţinut lui Platon.</p>
<p><strong>Veaceslav Platon, persona non grata în Ucraina</strong></p>
<p>Fiind încolţit de justiţie, Veaceslav Platon fuge în Rusia, unde îşi cumpără o vilă luxoasă pe cunoscuta şosea Rubleovka, la ieşire din Moscova. Între timp, a devenit şi cetăţean al Federaţiei Ruse, deţinând şi cetăţenia Moldovei, ceea ce contravine legislaţiei ruseşti.</p>
<p>În prezent, Veaceslav Platon locuieşte, de jure, în regiunea Dnepropetrovsk (Ucraina), unde desfăşoară afaceri în industria zahărului şi în complexul energetic, fiind susţinut de oameni de afaceri din anturajul fostului prim-ministru ucrainean Victor Ianukovici. După mai multe escrocherii răsunătoare, statul ucrainean i-a pus interdicţie de intrare în ţară. În pofida faptului respectiv, acest lucru se pare că nu a avut mare efect, întrucât luxosul Bentley, al cărui posesor este Veaceslav Platon, a fost văzut de mai multe ori în Kiev în parcarea de lângă Rada ucraineană, precum şi pe la instanţele superioare de judecată şi alte instituţii pe unde Platon are relaţii de „prietenie”.</p>
<p>În prezent, Veaceslav Platon dă multe bătăi de cap statului ucrainean, după ce a scufundat în datorii staţia atomoelectrică „Energoatom” şi alte întreprinderi strategice, astfel încât şi-a obţinut renumele de „criminal-veteran” în toată Ucraina. În ultimii ani, prin intermediul BCA „Moldindconbank”, au fost efectuate un şir de scheme ilicite de achitare a datoriilor unor agenţi economici, din mijloacele financiare ale băncilor din Republica Moldova şi Ucraina. Drept bază pentru aceste acţiuni a servit decizia judecăţii din oraşul Sankt-Petersburg privind încasarea datoriei debitoare de 23 milioane de dolari de la întreprinderea de stat ucraineană „Energoatom” către firma off-shore „Remington Worldwide Limited” din Gibraltar.</p>
<p>Toate schemele folosite erau îndreptate spre sustragerea banilor de pe conturile corespondente ale unor bănci din Ucraina deschise peste hotare, unde se deservea „Energoatom”. În acţiunile de reider ale lui Platon în privinţa „Energoatom” sunt implicaţi factori de decizie din alte state din CSI, cum ar fi Belarus şi Federaţia Rusă, unde deciziile instanţelor de judecată din Republica Moldova sunt „executate” în favoarea firmelor controlate de Platon. Astfel, instituţiile de stat ale Ucrainei sunt nevoite să acţioneze cât mai urgent pentru a stopa prejudicierea întreprinderilor strategice.</p>
<p>Pe parcursul anilor 2004-2005, asemenea „atacuri financiare” au fost efectuate în banca „Avali” (Kiev) – în sumă de 4,5 milioane de dolari, BCA „Prominvestbank” (Kiev) – în sumă de 5 milioane de dolari, BCA „Banca de Export-Import din Ucraina” (Kiev) – 12 milioane de dolari.</p>
<p>La începutul anului 2006, prin intermediul firmelor lui Platon a avut loc o tentativă de sustragere a unei sume băneşti de circa 6 milioane de dolari de pe conturile corespondente ale băncii de stat ucrainene „Державный Ощадный Банк Украины”. În toate aceste maşinaţii figura SRL „Moldprotectplant” şi iarăşi firma off-shore „Remington Worldwide Limited”, care aveau deschise conturi în BCA „Moldindconbank”.</p>
<p>„Remington Worldwide Ltd” (Gibraltar) este şi unul din acţionarii BCA „Moldindconbank”, în favoarea căreia se fac transferuri ilegale. Această firmă aparţine oficial companiei estoniene „Suntiger Five International” (SVI) din oraşul Tallinn. De fapt însă, aceasta reprezintă interesele aceluiaşi Veaceslav Platon.</p>
<p>Printre altele, în municipiul Chişinău, de mai mulţi ani, activează reprezentanţa SVI, care practică prestarea ilicită pe teritoriul Republicii Moldova a serviciilor bancare de deschidere neautorizată a conturilor, cardurilor peste hotare şi fondarea-vânzarea de companii off-shore, Veaceslav Platon fiind un client fidel al SVI.</p>
<p>Acelaşi Platon a organizat diferite „şantaje comerciale” cu utilizarea BCA „Moldindconbank” şi, probabil, BCA „Investprivatbank”, unde deţine cote acţionare prin intermediul firmelor sale. Este vorba de acapararea proprietăţii agenţilor economici prin operaţiuni semilegale şi procese de judecată. Acest lucru se produce prin coruperea judecătorilor, funcţionarilor bancari, a altor factori de decizie, cât şi a organelor de drept şi de control.</p>
<p><strong>Veaceslav Platon s-a întâlnit la Moscova cu Valeriu Pasat</strong></p>
<p>În anul 2004, au fost scoase peste hotare ilegal circa 4,2 milioane de dolari prin intermediul BCA „Moldindconbank”. Conducerea băncii a încălcat un şir de prevederi şi regulamente bancare, pentru realizarea acestei „afaceri” a lui Platon, care, de altfel, nu a fost singura de acest fel. Situaţii de implicare a factorilor de decizie din „Moldindconbank” au fost şi la acapararea SA „Moldovahidromaş”.</p>
<p>SRL „Ziarithana”, controlată din umbră de Platon, a procurat în condiţii ilegale pachetul de 23 % al întreprinderii, obţinând credit de la BCA „Moldindconbank”, oferind drept gaj acţiunile procurate, pe care, ulterior, le-a cedat tot băncii. Mai târziu, prin diverse scheme şi cu implicarea instanţelor de judecată a fost însuşită proprietatea întreprinderii, unde au fost utilizate firme şi persoane aflate în relaţii cu Veaceslav Platon.</p>
<p>O situaţie similară a avut loc şi în cazul SA „Cristal-Flor”, companie strategică de producere a sticlei, pe care, la intervenţia lui Platon, „Moldindconbank” a creditat-o, ca, ulterior, să fie iniţiată procedura de faliment forţat în temeiul neachitării unor părţi din credit (de circa 198 milioane de lei).</p>
<p>Tot în cadrul BCA „Moldindconbank” activează şi Elena Platon (sora lui Veaceslav Platon), care, în comun cu unii angajaţi ai secţiei pe care o conduce, gestionează resursele valutare ale băncii, inclusiv cele de stabilire a cursului valutar la casele de schimb ale filialelor şi reprezentanţelor băncii. Elena Platon conduce şi activitatea subdiviziunii băncii care operează pe piaţa internaţională Forex, unde se efectuează tranzacţii de schimb valutar. Acest fapt îi permite Elenei Platon să influenţeze decizia de stabilire a cursurilor comerciale şi la alte bănci autohtone cu care colaborează BCA „Moldindconbank”.</p>
<p>Liderul local al grupării conduse de Platon în Republica Moldova este Aliona Staşevscaia, care este membru al Consiliului de administrare „Moldindconbank”. Aceasta se foloseşte activ de un şir de privilegii din partea băncii, în interesele grupării Platon.</p>
<p>Recent, la Moscova a avut loc o întâlnire secretă între extrem de cunoscutul deja Valeriu Pasat, Veaceslav Platon şi Oleg Viughin, preşedintele Consiliului de administrare a „MDM Bank” din Rusia şi vicepreşedinte al Comisiei pieţei Hârtiilor de Valoare a Rusiei. Se presupune că întâlnirea a avut drept scop promovarea unor interese financiare, prin intermediul „Moldindconbank”.</p>
<p>Având în vedere legătura lui Pasat şi Platon cu AMN şi cu mediile de influenţă din Rusia, nu excludem că sunt planificate transferuri suspecte prin conturile băncii moldoveneşti şi, de ce nu, finanţarea campaniei electorale a AMN, precum şi alte scopuri cum ar fi, de exemplu, mascarea investiţiei lui Platon în banca rusească în cazul în care ultima va intenţiona să cumpere banca moldovenească.</p>
<p><strong>În loc de concluzii</strong></p>
<p>Observăm că biografia candidatului AMN protejat de CEC, Veaceslav Platon, ne deschide în faţă o imagine înspăimântătoare, pe care mulţi simpatizanţi ai grupării politico-mafiotice diriguită de Serafim Urechean nici nu şi-o pot imagina.</p>
<p>Or, să fim serioşi, despre ce fel de anchetă penală va putea fi vorba, dacă Veaceslav Platon devine deputat sau mai ales dacă, Doamne fereşte, AMN vine la guvernare. De aceea, decizia CEC în acest caz nu ne face decât să credem că această instituţie, care, aparent, este una corectă şi democratică, nu reprezintă decât un paravan care îi ajută pe infractori să acceadă în Parlament şi cărora le asigură, pe durata campaniei electorale, protecţie pentru a nu fi încolţiţi de justiţie.</p>

Bugatti Veyron</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Só faltava mesmo ele, o Bugatti Veyron desembarcar no Brasil. E é isso que ocorrerá se algum afortunado resolver encomendar um dos carros mais  velozes do mundo, com seu motorzão W16 de mais de mil cavalos de potência. A revista  Auto Esporte revela com  exclusividade hoje que a mesma importadora dos Bentley também representará a Bugatti.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ambas são marcas de luxo pertencentes à Volkswagen, mas a Bentley é mais , digamos, volumosa: a British Cars do Brasil (a representante) estima vender 22 unidades do clássico inglês enquanto o foguete francês pode variar de um a dois exemplares.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ou seja, o carro só vem ao Brasil se alguém depositar o sinal, caso contrário só existirá nos catálogos da loja ou na casa de algum milionário que resolveu importar por conta própria.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Quanto as Bentley, serão três modelos, diz a AE: o Continental Flying Spur, por R$ 868 mil, o Continental GT, por R$ 928 mil, e o GTC conversível, por R$ 988 mil.</span></p>

I remember the day we bought him home like it was yesterday. He was such a little fluff ball, and now he is a teenager!?  How did that happen already- Geez.</p>
<p>Does this mean that he is no longer a puppy and now just a plain old dog?</p>
<p>Puppy, dog, my son&#8230;whatever he may be, he is truly amazing.   Sandy and I have really had a blast raising him.  Not only is he really smart, but he is also the favorite at daycare and the protector of the house.</p>
<p>Ladies love him, dogs want to be him and to be quite honest, he knows it.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Michael E. Porter defines a Strategic Group as ‘the group of firms in an industry following the same]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Michael E. Porter defines a Strategic Group as ‘the group of firms in an industry following the same or a similar strategy along the strategic dimensions.’  This essentially means that a Strategic Group, within an industry, is a group of firms that operate in a similar fashion in terms of their respective Specialization and Vertical Integration. If we take the example of the Passenger Car Industry, a group of firms are characterized by broad product lines, heavy advertising, medium integration, extensive distribution, mass-market appeal and widely-available service, lets call this <strong>Group A</strong>, while another group of companies would be characterized as extremely narrow product lines, minimal, often no advertising, high integration, selective distribution and service and superior performance, lets call this <strong>Group B</strong>. The firms that fall in Group A, internationally, are to the likes of Hyundai, Ford, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, Fiat, Toyota, Renault etc., while firms like Ferrari, Bugatti, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Maybach etc, belong to the latter group. Then there exists a group in between wherein performance meets mass-market appeal. This, <strong>Group C,</strong> would consist of firms like BMW, Audi, Daimler-Benz (Mercedes), Porsche, Alfa-Romeo, Nissan etc., which are a match between performance and luxury, and wide-appeal through narrow product lines. Another group of manufacturers, say <strong>Group D</strong>, such as Proton, Tata Motors, Maruti-Suzuki, Daihatsu, Mahindra &#38; Mahindra, etc. exists which has most characteristics of the first group, barring an international appeal, meaning that manufacturers like these are broadly limited to their home countries and a few other countries, with product lines which are neither narrow nor broad, but have extensive distribution channels, at least in their home countries.  Firms in Group B are highly vertically integrated primarily because of the focus on quality in their products, which is essentially why most products from these firms are hand-built with in-house manufacturing of components unlike other groups where most, and in some cases, all components are purchased, ranging from the Chassis to the Design, and Automobiles are just assembled in the plants.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the Strategic Groups, as mentioned, also have a lot in common with market shares of these firms. While Group A firms tend to enjoy a high market share with their products with mass-market appeal internationally, Group B, on the other end of the spectrum, has firms with products of very limited appeal, primarily because of the exorbitant price tags. Group C firms have much smaller market shares than that of Group A, and have a middle-of-the-road appeal in terms of luxury and performance and price. Group D, on the other hand, consists of firms with large market shares in only a few markets, most commonly in the country they originate from. It is also interesting to understand the ownership patterns of firms across various Strategic Groups. Broadly, the largest Global players enjoy a presence, through one or more of their brands, in at least three of the four strategic groups. For example, Volkswagen Group has a presence in Group A with its Volkswagen brand, in Group B with Bugatti &#38; Bentley, in Group C with Audi &#38; Porsche, and in Group D with Skoda &#38; SEAT. Similarly, Fiat Group has a presence in the three groups with Fiat in Group A, Ferrari in Group B and Alfa-Romeo in Group C. The benefits are primarily in the form of platform sharing and in effect, cost saving because of reduced Research &#38; Development costs, Market Power and the sharing of critical components.</p>
<p><strong>Industry Rivalry</strong></p>
<p>Rivalry within a Strategic Group is likely to be more in industries where there is a great difference between product lines of firms, especially in terms of pricing. In the Automobile Industry, the rivalry among the firms within a Group is far greater than the inter-group rivalry, as opposed to an industry where the substitutes are very close and are available in plenty. The inter-group rivalry is at a far lower level internationally because of the scale and appeal of products of firms from different groups. On the customers’ part, there can be a shift from one group to another, especially when upgrading to a more expensive automobile, the firms effectively compete for customers in different market segments on their parts. For example, Ford does not compete with Ferrari, but it does, in some segments, with BMW, Audi &#38; Mercedes. This is because Ford’s more expensive and less mass-market range of cars are in similar segments with BMW’s lesser expensive, more mass-market cars. So a Ford Focus would compete with a BMW 1-Series and not a BMW 7-Series as the target customers for both are poles apart. Similarly, firms from Group D can often compete with firms from Group A on a regional level, which is why we see Maruti-Suzuki competing with Ford, Fiat &#38; Chevrolet because their target customers in the Indian market are broadly similar, but differ in the global context.</p>
<p><strong>Bargaining Power of Suppliers</strong></p>
<p>Different strategic groups enjoy different degreed of bargaining power of suppliers. In Strategic Groups where firms are primarily assemblers, the bargaining power of suppliers tends to be low primarily because of the scale of production of these firms. Often firms that operate in the mass-market enjoy market power because of their market share. This allows them to leverage their position to bargain with suppliers and have components customized for their use than that of other players. For example, Denso is a key supplier of Toyota to such an extent that Denso follows Toyota to whichever market Toyota enters. The bargaining power of Toyota over Denso is fairly high because of standardization of components and faster product development times across the industry because of which Toyota has the advantage of purchasing similar components from Bosch or Delphi. But because Denso is so dependent on Toyota for its revenues, it has to operate in a manner which suits Toyota, hence effectively lowering possibilities of serving another client. The existence of multiple-suppliers allows firms to pick and choose from a bouquet of firms and attain the lowest possible costs, keeping in mind the specification of the components in concern. In other strategic groups such as Group B, the bargaining power of suppliers is fairly high because of the focus on quality of the product. Most firms in Group B product most components of their cars and outsource only a few. The few components that they outsource come from specialist suppliers. The switching costs may not be very high, but the costs of customization of products to suit the manufacturer is very high because of the nature of the product.</p>
<p><strong>Bargaining Power of Buyers</strong></p>
<p>Bargaining power of buyers varies from group to group. Groups where mass-market players exist with minimal product differentiation have to deal with high bargaining power of buyers while groups with highly differentiated products enjoy low bargaining power of buyers. Strategic Group A, where firms are mass-market players with low product differentiation in most cases, have to deal with very high bargaining power of customers, primarily because of the availability of a plethora of options both from the same firm as well as from constituents of the Strategic Group. The bargaining power of buyers is slightly lower for Group C firms than that of Group A, because each Group C firm has a brand identity which is peculiar to that firm alone while others are close to achieving similar results, but are not widely known for the same. For example, BMWs are identified with their handling and performance, while Mercedes cars are identified as the more luxurious of the two. While customers pick between one of the brands, they have an agenda in mind while purchasing cars from this particular group. A customer who would like more performance than luxury is likely to go for one brand over the other, but at the same time, the customer also enjoys the presence of multiple players and can shift from one brand to another because the products are so close to each other in terms of specifications, features, luxury and performance. Firms in Group B enjoy low bargaining power of buyers, primarily because they have highly differentiated products with varied features and specifications. The products are normally either extremely high on luxury, or on performance. While all products in this strategic group are far more luxurious and better in performance than those in the other groups, they tend to have an inclination towards one side of the spectrum. While Rolls Royce cars are the epitome of luxury on wheels, Ferrari’s are the best performers of the lot, which is not to say Rolls Royce is archaic in terms of performance and Ferrari in luxury. The customers here have a clear-cut demand which can only normally be filled by one of the brands, which essentially goes to say that the bargaining power of buyers is low for Strategic Group B firms.</p>
<p><strong>Threat of Substitutes</strong></p>
<p>Substitutes to passenger cars are broadly based on the price points of the vehicles. While at the lower-end of the spectrum, substitutes are public transport and 2-wheelers, the higher-end of the spectrum only has air-travel as a substitute, which is only applicable for inter-city travel. Group A and Group D face the threat of substitutes such as 2-wheelers and public transport because of their price points. For example, the Tata Nano faces threat of substitutes by Motorbikes in India, especially for unmarried individuals, married without children and empty-nesters. The other threat to lower-end cars is Public Transport, primarily because of the limited spending capacity of the target customers of these products. Firms in Strategic Group B only face threat from substitutes such as Helicopters and Airplanes, the latter primarily for inter-city travel and the former for intra-city travel. The threat is low because of the scarcity of helipads in most parts of the world.</p>
<p><strong>Threat of New Entrants</strong></p>
<p>Threat of new entrants is low across the industry at a global level primarily because of the capital requirements for setting up of production facilities and distribution channels. The threat is low on a global level, but at a local level, threat in parts of the world is high. For example, in India, the threat of new entrants is at a medium level because of the absence of multiple global players. When these players decide to enter India, they can, and are willing to, spend Millions of dollars in setting up infrastructure to support their products. This is aided by a huge potential market for products of these firms, which are primarily members of Group A. Establishing of brands is also a very difficult task, especially for firms looking to enter Group B or Group C. Most firms in these groups have been present in the market for decades and have established their brands over years and years of existence and can hence charge a huge price tag for their offerings.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Sempre que falamos de um veículo, falamos também de sua plataforma, ou seja, da base sobre a qual o automóvel é construído. Na Volkswagen, por exemplo, Gol, Fox, CrossFox, SpaceFox, Polo e Polo Sedan usam a mesma plataforma, a PQ24. Pois a mesma Volkswagen disse à revista britânica Autocar que criou uma plataforma que servirá tanto ao Lupo, futuro menor carro da empresa, quanto ao Phaeton, seu modelo mais sofisticado (e significativamente maior). Será a MQB (modularen querbaukasten, ou arquitetura modular de montagem de motor transversal).</p>
<p>O primeiro veículo a vir equipado com a plataforma multitarefa será a nova geração do Audi A3, que estreia em 2011 e aparece nas imagens dessa reportagem (com agradecimentos à Automedia). Depois dele, boa parte dos outros veículos do grupo Volkswagen, que inclui Audi, Seat, Skoda, deve adotar a MQB. As plataformas que sairão de cena serão as PQ2 (PQ24, PQ25, a do novo Polo), PQ3 e PQ4.</p>
<p>Devem ficar de fora os veículos de marcas mais sofisticadas, como Bentley, Lamborghini e Bugatti. Mesmo assim, a Autocar estima que 60 modelos do grupo usarão a nova arquitetura até meados da década que vem.</p>
<p>O pulo do gato da nova arquitetura é permitir uma mesma distância do eixo dianteiro até os pedais do carro, seja em que modelo for: do pequeno Lupo à grandalhona Sharan. Com isso, o número de arquiteturas atualmente em uso no grupo cairá de 18 para apenas duas. A redução de custos que isso representa, enorme, dá a dimensão do principal objetivo da empresa com o desenvolvimento da MQB.</p>
<p>A boa notícia que isso acarreta aos brasileiros é que a tal redução de custos não pode se restringir ao mercado europeu, pelo contrário. É nos mercados emergentes que essa redução poderá fazer a maior diferença. Assim sendo, toda a linha brasileira da Volkswagen deve começar adotar a mesma plataforma em pouco tempo. Resta saber em qual produto ela fará sua estreia por aqui. Aguardemos.</p>

<hr size="2" />
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Herein below is an email to Twitter regarding their engaging in censorship to protect California Attorney General Jerry Brown, Oakland City Attorney John Russo and Alameda County D.A. Tom Orloff&#8217;s corruption in an ongoing case reported to the U. S. Attorney General, Department of Justice.</p>
<p>Ginger,</p>
<p>On October 17, and 21, 2009  I sent emails to Twitter complaining about a &#8220;suspension&#8221; of my account (@nowtruth) for allegedly replying to tweets sent to me and &#8220;suspicious activity&#8221;!<br />
I have not received any response to my rejection of the claims and contesting of the &#8220;suspension&#8221;. The idea that someone can have their account suspended for replying to tweets sent to them is preposterous!!! Isn&#8217;t that the process? Further, there were @mentions, not replys, for which your system does not seem to be able to distinguish the difference!!<br />
However, when someone tweets you, you can and should reply with a meaningful response. ALL of the @mentions/replies/responses were to related items or news of a related nature to the attention of those mentioned, not anyone else. So there is no spamming issue. What&#8217;s the offense?<br />
There is NOTHING suspicious about this action! Were you contacted with a report of reply spam? Our tweets are all you need to establish their validity. The tweet was regarding the corruption on behalf of California Attorney General Jerry Brown, Oakland City Attorney John Russo and Alameda County D.A. Tom Orloff in an ongoing case reported to the U. S. Attorney General, Department of Justice. We have received several @mentions from people sympathetic to those parties had have tried tirelessly to silence this case and the information about it from getting out to the masses in an effort to protect them. The specific tweet in question was displaying an email from John Russo threatening a KPFA reporter, Gabrielle Wilson, if she proceeded with a radio broadcast of a show with Brown, Russo and the plaintiff in the case.</p>
<p>During the week of August 23, 2009 Miss Wilson received a phone call from Evan Westrep from Brown’s office. He left a voice mail message for her at radio station KPFA stating he would pass her interview request along to Brown’s schedulers.</p>
<p>During that same week, Miss Wilson received emails and phone calls from Oakland City Attorney Russo’s press director Alex Katz. One email Katz sent to her and Sasha Lilley, interim Program Director at KPFA, with a cc: to Mark Moromodi, Supervising Deputy for the Oakland City Attorney, proclaiming that City Attorney John Russo was not involved in the case, yet he wanted her to answer questions as to why she wanted to provide a forum for the plaintiff, al-Hakim whom he alleged had posted threatening videos about John Russo. Heres an copy of that email that was a twitpic sent to our followers:</p>
<p><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/newsnow/M4nqiYVaUnzLRZwzzsOmX0RPmvTg7SzbSaJpr8YEuEO2tbdIwODY3j8EpUCi/0unknownname.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/newsnow/b7yqCa0rtZKwvh71vkzRxZGMJsdduEFIj0zlFFJFy05zUDxs4YHr02jQrt5B/0unknownname.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Katz followed up that email with a voicemail message he left for Miss Wilson after the close of business just hours before the scheduled broadcast was to occur threatening her and warned Miss Wilson not to broadcast the interview and demanded she speak with him before she aired the scheduled program. He did this though he wanted Miss Wilson and KPFA to believe that John Russo and the City Attorney’s office was not involved in the case and had nothing to hide! You can listen to that voicemail message here.</p>

<p>Luis Medina, a manager in the music director’s office at KPFA then calls Miss Wilson just hours prior to the scheduled broadcast and leaves a voicemail message warning her that it was very important for the broadcast not to occur. He also stated that there might be very serious repercussions taken if she were to proceed as planned. She even received a phone call from the long-time regular show host, Emmitt Powell whom was contacted by the station in response to Russo’s effort to censor the show.<br />
Miss Wilson proceeded to host the program all alone to comply with the City Attorney and KPFA’s censorship directive…without any of her invited guests. You can listen to that voicemail message here.</p>

<p>Miss Wilson was forced to make at least three announcements to inform the public whom had tuned in to hear this intriguing panel examine this critical civil rights and corruption case in an important election year, that this incredible show had been canceled due to KPFA’s censorship by Oakland City Attorney John Russo! You can listen to those announcements here.<br />

<p>Russo proceeded to engage in censorship by forcing the cancellation of the show and trying to conceal it from the public. Russo and Brown claim that they are not involved in the case yet irrefutable evidence prove otherwise! If they are not involved and have nothing to hide, why censor the show? Those actions are public now as the reporter released a statement on their crimes of which this is merely another instance of. Now for you.<br />
You aren&#8217;t engaging in censorship are you? Have you been contacted by any of these parties or their representatives, including Alex Katz, Joe Trippi, Jeremy D. Thompson, or anyone else regarding this alleged violation of Twitter policy? Is this a problem of your system not being able to differentiate between a reply and an @mention?<br />
I certainly know that if you were investigating suspicious activity in this case, you need to take a look at the actions of those that got you to comply with their desire to censor this case and their continuing crimes for which Twitter founder Evan Williams, co-founder Biz Stone, and Twitter are now involved. We will not stop our civil and criminal investigation in this matter as we proceed, it only widens and deepens in it&#8217;s breadth and depth.<br />
There&#8217;s nothing even remotely suspicious about our tweets, we will not be censored, and we are continuing to investigate yours and their suspicious activity and to prosecute those involved in these continuing crimes. Anything you need to further investigate feel free to call.</p>
<p>We look forward to your response.</p>

<p>Ginger,</p>
<p>How can an account be suspended for replying to messages sent to YOU? Isn&#8217;t that the process? When someone tweets you, you can and should reply with a meaningful response. ALL of the replies/responses were to related items or news of a related nature. What&#8217;s the offense?<br />
There is NOTHING suspicious about this action! Were you contacted with a report of reply spam? Our tweets are all you need to establish their validity. You aren&#8217;t engaging in censorship are you?<br />
Thanks for the response.</p>

<hr /><strong>ginger, Oct 21 03:04 pm (PDT):</strong>Hello from Twitter,This is an automated confirmation that we received your ticket. If you’re contesting a suspension, be sure to read this entire email; you will need to take further action in order to reopen your ticket.
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Please be sure your account is actually suspended. You should visit your own profile page to make sure you&#8217;re suspended and not viewing another person&#8217;s suspended profile page&#8211;many people think they are suspended when they aren&#8217;t. You&#8217;ll also know you&#8217;re suspended if you log in and see a red notice announcing your suspension on your account.</p>
<p>Twitter primarily suspends accounts for Terms of Service violations or spam investigation. If you are suspended, it&#8217;s most likely for one or more of these reasons:</p>
<p>· aggressive following or follower churn (repeatedly following and unfollowing users)<br />
· trend spamming (posting unrelated updates to trending topics to gain attention)<br />
· misuse of the reply feature<br />
· updates consist of links pointing to phishing sites, malware, or other harmful material<br />
· updates consist of duplicate links and/or text<br />
· updates consist mainly of links duplicated across multiple accounts, and not personal updates<br />
· account identified as potentially being part of a spam cluster<br />
· a large number of people block the profile or write in with spam complaints</p>
<p>Please review the Twitter Rules for a more comprehensive list:</p>

<p>If you feel you&#8217;ve been suspended in error, please reply to this email with a short explanation and be sure to include your username. Responding to this email will reopen this ticket and put your ticket in queue for support, but you need to reply from the address this mail was sent to. If you use an alias (such as <a href="mailto:username+alias@gmail.com">username+alias@gmail.com</a>), ensure that your reply comes from the alias address or your ticket may not be seen by our support staff. We will do our best to get back to you within 30 days.</p>
<p>If this did not answer your inquiry, responding to this email will reopen this ticket.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
