    @@@@@“I stopped at my office to join the assault
    @@@@@“I stopped
    at my office to join the assault squad and on my desk were eight large manila envelopes, only one
    of which had been openedThe police found them in the Vavilova and, true to form, having read
    the contents of only one, wanted nothing to do with them
    “What were they?” asked Alex, chuckling“State secrets describing the entire Politburo as gay?”
    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

    “You’re probably not far off the mark,” interrupted Bourne“That was the Jackal’s Moscow
    cadre in the VavilovaHe was either showing them the dirt he had on them, or giving them the dirt
    on others
    “The latter in this case,” said Krupkin“A collection of the most preposterous allegations
    directed at the ranking heads of our major ministries
    “He’s got vaults of that garbageIt’s standard operating procedure for Carlos; it’s how he buys
    his way into circles he shouldn’t be able to penetrate
    “Then I’m not being clear, Jason,” continued the KGB officer“When I say preposterous, I
    mean exactly that—beyond belief
    “He’s almost always on targetDon’t take that judgment to the bank
    “If there were such a bank I certainly would, and I’d negotiate a sizable loan on its efficacy as
    collateralMost of the information is the stuff of the lowest-grade tabloids—nothing unusual there,
    of course—but along with such nonsense are outright distortions of times, places, functions and
    even identitiesFor example, the Ministry of Transport is not where a particular file says, but a
    block away, and a certain comrade direktor is not married to the lady named but to someone else—
    the woman mentioned is their daughter and is not in Moscow but rather in Cuba, where she’s been
    for six yearsAlso, the man listed as head of Radio Moscow and accused of just about everything
    short of having intercourse with dogs, died eleven months ago and was a known closet orthodox
    Catholic, who would have been far happier as a truly devout priestThese blatant falsehoods I
    picked up in a matter of minutes, time being at a premium, but I’m sure there are dozens more
    “You’re saying that a scam was pulled on Carlos?” said Conklin
    “One so garish—albeit compiled with extreme conviction—it would be laughed out of our most
    rigidly doctrinaire courtsWhoever fed him these melodramatic ‘exposés’ wanted built-in
    deniabilities
    “Rodchenko?” asked Bourne
    “I can’t think of anyone elseGrigorie—I say ‘Grigorie’ but I never called him that to his face; it
    was always ‘General’—was a consummate strategist, the ultimate survivor, as well as a deeply
    committed Marxi

    @@@@@ Most never become what the investment world
    @@@@@ Most never become what the investment world calls a "sophisticated investor And the best investments are usually first sold to "sophisticated investors," who then turn around and sell them to the people playing it safeI am not saying don't buy a houseI am saying, understand the difference between an asset and a liabilityWhen I want a bigger house, I first buy assets that will generate the cash flow to pay for the house
    My educated dad's personal financial statement best demonstrates the life of someone in the rat race His expenses seem to always keep up with his income, never allowing him to invest in assetsAs a result, his liabilities, such as his mortgage and credit card debts are larger than his assets The following picture is worth a thousand words:

    Educated Dad's Financial Statement

    Income=Expense
    Asset < Liability

    My rich dad's personal financial statement, on the other hand, reflects the results of a life dedicated to investing and minimizing liabilities:

    Rich Dad's Financial Statement

    Income > Expense
    Asset > Liability

    A review of my rich dad's financial statement is why the rich get richerThe asset column generates more than enough income to cover expenses, with the balance reinvested into the asset columnThe asset column continues to grow and, therefore, the income it produces grows with it
    The result being: The rich get richer!

    Why the Rich Get Richer

    Income -> Assets -> More Income
    Expenses are low, Liabilities are low

    The middle class finds itself in a constant state of financial struggleTheir primary- income is through wages, and as their wages increase, so do their taxesTheir expenses tend to increase in equal increments as their wages increase; hence the phrase "the rat race They treat their home as their primary asset, instead on investing in income-producing assets

    Why the Middle Class Struggle

    Income goes up, Expenses go up
    Assets do not increase, Liabilities do increase

    This pattern of treating your home as an investment and the philosophy that a pay raise means you can buy a larger home or spend more is the foundation of today's debt-ridden societyThis process of increased spending throws families into greater debt and into more financial uncertainty, even though they may be advancing in their jobs and receiving pay raises on a regular basisThis is high risk living caused by weak financial education
    The massive loss of jobs in the 1990s-the downsizing of businesses-has brought to light how shaky the middle class really is financially Suddenly, company pension plans are being replaced by 401k plansSocial Security is obviously in trouble and cannot be looked at as a source for retirementPanic has sei in for the middle classThe good thing today is that many of these people have recognized these issues and have begun buying mutual fundsThis increase in investing is largely responsible for the huge rally we have seen in the stock marketToday, there are more and more mutual funds being created to answer the demand by the middle cla

    Michael argued, "we're going to the cowshed to play with the pigs
    "Pigs live in the pigpen," said tiny Peg with a self-important air
    "Don't they, Maureen?" Scarlett was shockedIn her world, children
    never called adults by their first nameBut Maureen seemed to find it
    nothing out of the ordinary"They live prada bag in the pigpen if no one lets
    them out," she said with a wink"You weren't thinking of taking the
    piglets out of the pen to play with, now, were you?"
    Michael and his sisters laughed as if Maureen's joke was the funniest
    thing they'd ever heardThen they ran through the kitchen to the

    door that led into a large yard shared by all the ladies omega constellation housesScarlett's
    eyes took in the glowing coals on the hearth, the shiny copper of the
    tea kettle on the crane, and the pans hanging above the mantel
    Funny,

    but the streets are still in flamesAnd some idiot just got on the line and asked if the No Smoking
    signs were properly placed while the wooden buildings are on their way to becoming rubble! Idiots
    They are all idiots!”
    “Get back here!” yelled Bourne, having made the jeep lurch through the gate“He’s in here
    somewhere! You drive and I’ll—” Jason’s words were cut off by a deafening explosion up ahead in
    the center of “Madrid’s” Paseo del PradoIt was an enormous detonation, lumber and stone arcing
    up into the flaming skyThen, as if the Paseo itself were a living, throbbing immense wall of fire,
    the flames rolled forward, swinging to the left out of the “city” into the road that was the dior women approach
    to the border gate“Look!” shouted Bourne, reaching down out of the jeep, his hand scraping the
    graveled surface beneath; he brought his fingers to his face, his nostrils“The
    whole goddamned road’s soaked with gasoline!” A burst of fire imploded thirty yards in front of
    the jeep, sending stones and dirt smashing into the metal grille, and propelling the flames forward
    with increasing speed“Plastics!” said Jason to himself, then yelled at Benjamin, who was running
    to the jeep, “Go back there! Get everyone out of here! The son of a bitch has the place ringed with
    plastics! Head for the river!”
    “I’m going with you!” shouted the young Soviet, grabbing the edge of the door
    “Sorry, Junior,” cried Bourne, gunning the engine and swerving the army vehicle santos cartier back into the
    open gate, sending Benjamin sprawling onto the gravel“This is for grown-ups
    “What are you doing?” screamed Benjamin, his voice fading as the jeep sped across the border
    “The fuel truck, that lousy fuel truck!” whispered Jason as he raced into “Strasbourg, France
    It happened in “Paris”—where else but Paris! The huge duplicate of the Eiffel Tower blew up
    with such force that the earth shookRockets? Missiles? The Jackal had stolen missiles from the
    Kubinka Armory! Seconds later, starting far behind him, the explosions began as the streets burst
    into flamesAll “France” was being destroyed in a way that the madman Adolf Hitler
    could only have envisaged in his most twisted dreamsPanicked men and women ran through the
    alleyways and the tiffany toggle heart streets, screaming, falling, praying to gods their leaders had forsworn
    “England!” He had to get into “England” and then ultimately into “America,” where all his
    instincts told him the end would come—one way or anotherHe had to find the truck that was
    being driven by the Jackal and destroy bothHe could do it—he could do it! Carlos thought he was
    dead and that was the key, for the Jackal would do what he had to do, what he, Jason Bourne,
    would do if he were CarlosWhen the holocaust he had ignited was at its zenith, the Jackal would
    abandon the truck and put into play his means of escape—his escape to Paris, the real Paris, where
    his army of old men would spread the word of their monseigneur’s triumph over the ubiquitous,
    disbelieving SovietsIt would new cartier be somewhere near the tunnel; that was a given
    The race through “London,” “Coventry” and “Portsmouth” could only be likened to the
    newsreel footage from World War II depicting the carnage hurled down on Great Britain by the
    Luftwaffe, compounded by first the screaming and then the silent terror of the V-2 and V-5 rockets
    But the residents of Novgorod were not British—forbearance gave way to mass hysteria, concern
    for all became survival for self aloneAs the impressive reproductions of Big Ben and the Houses
    of Parliament crashed down in flames and the aircraft factories of “Coventry” were reduced to
    raging fires, the streets swelled with screaming, horrified crowds racing through the roads that led
    to the Volkhov River and the shipyards of louis vuitton discount “Portsm

    He sat back and lit a cigaretteThe mantle gucci backpack in the Coleman lantern was beginning to buzz, and he sat up to adjust it, remembering for an instant Hearn's expression as he had sat before him asking for a transferThe General shrugged, sat back again, staring at his deskIn transcribing his thought to paper it seemed somehow less profound, more contrived, and he was dissatisfied vaguelyHe might have written no more, but the image of Lieutenant Hearn upset him, almost uncovered a trap door of his mindHe pushed back the picture resolutely, drew a line under his last sentence, daytona rolex and began to write about something else

    But from another approach that form is the flank curve of a man or woman's breast

    What is this curve? It is the fundamental path of any projectile, of a ball, a stone, an arrow (Nietzsche's arrow of longing) or of an artillery shellIt is the curve of the death missile as well as an abstraction of the life-love impulse; it demonstrates the form of existence, and life and death are merely different points of observation on the same Chanel Bracelets trajectory

    that I would be able to sleep, but there were so many things I wasn't allowing myself to think

    I closed my eyes, finding little difference between my lids and the moonless night, and drifted
    into unconsciousness with unexpected ease

    Melanie wasn'tsaying “I told you so Not in so many prada tote bag wordsBut I could feel the accusation in
    her silence
    I was still unwilling to leave the car, though it was useless to me nowWhen the gas ran out, I
    had let it roll forward with the remaining momentum until it took a nosedive into a shallow
    gorge–a thick rivulet cut by the last big rainNow I stared out the windshield at the vast, vacant
    plain and felt my stomach twist with panic
    We have to move, WandererIt's only going to get hotter
    If I hadn't wasted more than a quarter of a tank of ladies omega constellation gas stubbornly pushing on to the very base of
    the second landmark–only to find that the third milestone was no longer visible from that

    Her impatience made it hard to think, hard to concentrate on anythingLike what was going to
    happen to us
    C'mon, c'mon, c'mon,she chanted until I lurched, stiff and awkward, out of the carMy back
    throbbed as I straightened upIt hurt from sleeping so contorted last night, not from the weight
    of the pack; the pack wasn't that heavy when I used my shoulders to lift it
    Now cover the car,she instructed, picturing me ripping thorny branches from the replica prada nearby
    creosotes and palo verdes and draping them over the silver top of the car
    “Why?”
    Her tone implied that I was quite stupid for not understanding
    But what if I want to be found? What if there's nothing out here but heat and dirt? We have no
    way to get home!
    Home?she questioned, throwing cheerless images at me: the vacant apartment in San Diego,

    arguing with itselfHere in front of me stood
    Ilse made of sand, a shifting houri by the light
    of a three-quarter moon, her features never the
    same from one second to the nextNow she was Illy
    at nine; now she was Illy at fifteen, headed out
    on her first real date; now she was Illy as she'd
    looked getting off the plane in December, Illy the
    college girl with an engagement ring on her finger
    Here stood the one I'd always loved the best -
    wasn't that why Perse had killed her? - with her
    hand held out for the flashlightThe flashlight
    was my boarding pass for a long cruise on

    She stood before me with the thundering, incoming

    to
    pull the quilts up againMammy squinted through her pain at Scarlett
    "You got a dirty face-and hands, too," she grumbled in a weak voice
    "I know," said Scarlett, "I'll wash them right this minute
    Before the old woman drifted away, Scarlett kissed her forehead
    "No need to tell me what I knows already Mammy slid into sleep,
    escaping from pain"Yes there is a need," Scarlett told herShe
    knew Mammy couldn't hear her, but she spoke aloud anyhow, half to
    herself"There's all kinds of needI never told Melanie, and I
    didn't tell Scarlett until it was too late
    I never took the time to know I loved them, or you eitherAt least
    with you I won't make the mistake I did with them Scarlett stared
    down at the skull-like face of the dying old woman"I love you,
    Mammy," she whispered"What's going to become of me when I don't
    have
    you to love me?" poked sideways around the cracked-open door to
    the
    sickroom"Miss Scarlett, Mister Will he say for me to come sit with

    yourself out with all the nursing, and she done fix you a fine big

    “You can probably guess what it isJeb and Jamie spent all night jabbering at me”
    I waited for the question, staring across the dark hall at the rice bag–last night's pillowIn my
    peripheral vision, I saw his hand come up, and I cringed into the wall
    “I'm not going to hurt you,” he said again, impatient, and cupped my chin in his rough hand,
    pulling my face around so I had to look at him
    My heart stuttered when he touched me, and there was suddenly too much moisture in my eyes
    I blinked, trying to clear them He said my name slowly–unwillingly, I could tell, though his voice was even and
    toneless“Is Melanie still alive–still part of you? Tell me the truth
    Melanie attacked with the brute strength of a wrecking ballIt was physically painful, like the
    sudden stab of a migraine headache, where she tried to force her way out
    Stop it! Can't you see?
    It was so obvious in the set of his lips, the tight lines under his eyesIt didn't matter what I said
    or what she said
    I'm already a liar to him,I told here doesn't want the truth–he's just looking for evidence,
    some way to prove me a liar, a Seeker, to Jeb and Jamie so that he'll be allowed to kill me
    Melanie refused to answer or believe me; it was a struggle to keep her silent
    Jared watched the sweat bead on my forehead, the strange shiver that shook down my spine,
    and his eyes narrowedHe held on to my chin, refusing to let me hide my face
    Jared, I love you,she tried to scream
    My lips didn't quiver, but I was surprised that he couldn't read the words spelled out plainly in
    my eyes
    Time passed slowly while he waited for my answerIt was agonizing, having to stare into his
    eyes, having to see the revulsion thereAs if that weren't enough, Melanie's anger continued to
    slice at me from the insideHer jealousy swelled into a bitter flood that washed through my
    body and left it polluted
    More time passed, and the tears welled up until they couldn't be contained in my eyes anymore
