And what do the people of Poland think of the American Bail Out?
How are things in Poland?
What will it take to turn things around, like they were in the good old days, again?

And what do the people of Poland think of the American Bail Out? How are things in Poland? I have mixed feelings about bail-out. I can see the straightforward injustice. On the other hand it seems without the bail-out 'ordinary' John Smith would suffer more. Things in Poland. We are walking on the narrow crest between the mountains. If we'll slip - noone is quite sure and, unfortunately it is not depending only on our own behaviour. More: Still Growing But Slower
By Andrzej Ratajczyk
The global economic crisis has caught up with Poland: even though the country's gross domestic product grew a healthy 2.9 percent year on year in the last three months of 2008, this was nowhere near the 4.8 percent level recorded in the third quarter of last year.
According to the country's Central Statistical Office (GUS), individual consumption and gross fixed capital formation had the greatest contribution to GDP growth in the fourth quarter. They rose by 3.3 and 1.1 percent year on year respectively. Household consumption grew more than 5 percent year on year, and gross value added (GVA) increased by 3.4 percent in real terms. The market services sector expanded by 5 percent, remaining relatively unaffected by the slowdown. Analysts at the economy ministry expect market services to remain the main factor behind GVA growth throughout 2009.
According to the European Union's statistics office, Eurostat, the Polish economy grew by 3.1 percent year on year in the fourth quarter of 2008. Of all EU countries, only Bulgaria performed better than Poland, the office said, while the EU economy as a whole contracted by 1.3 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2007.
Experts at the Polish economy ministry say the economy here has been affected by the global crisis with a delay. They predict that Poland's GDP growth will be below 2 percent this year.
That the Polish economy is slowing is also confirmed by business-cycle research conducted by the Economic Development Institute at the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH). According to the institute, business conditions in the manufacturing industry are deteriorating. Businesses are reporting decreasing output and a smaller number of orders, and are saying that their financial performance is deteriorating. Production of goods intended for export markets is also decreasing. The competitiveness of Polish goods on foreign markets and the profitability of exports are improving, the institute says, but exporters are unable to benefit from the latest depreciation of the Polish zloty due to a drop in foreign orders.
The National Bank of Poland expects the economy to continue to slow steadily until the fourth quarter of this year. In its latest inflation report released in March, the central bank predicts that the Polish economy will begin accelerating again in 2010 once the global economy shows signs of overcoming recession. The central bank projects that Poland's GDP will grow by 1.1 percent this year, 2.2 percent in 2010, and 3.7 percent in 2011.
According to the central bank, unemployment will be growing fast until 2011, with the LFS (labor force survey) unemployment rate expected to rise from 7.4 percent in 2008 to 14.5 percent in 2011. LFS unemployment is estimated on the basis of questionnaire surveys in which people who work under the table or are uninterested in taking up a job are not treated as unemployed, even if they are officially registered as such.
The economic slowdown will considerably limit inflation in Poland, experts say. The central bank predicts that inflation will fall to 1.9 percent in 2010 and 0.9 percent in 2011. This year, average inflation will still be at a relatively high level of 3.2 percent, partly due to increases in regulated prices and a weaker zloty, which makes imports more expensive. A weak zloty also means that mortgage borrowers who have taken out loans denominated in foreign currencies now have to pay higher installments. As a result, households have less money to spend on consumption.
International financial institutions are more optimistic about the prospects of the Polish economy. According to Thomas Laursen, World Bank manager for Poland and the Baltic states, a 2-percent GDP growth rate in 2009 is feasible. Of all the new European Union member states, Poland's fiscal and financial performance is the best, he said. He added that the international economic crisis has led to a drop in demand for Polish goods and services abroad, a trend that has hurt the Polish economy and foreign direct investment here.
Compared with other economies in the region, Poland shows more sustainable growth. This is largely because of private consumption, which is a key driver of economic growth in this country, Laursen said. According to a World Bank report, the Polish government's determination to maintain budget discipline is an important anti-crisis measure.
International rating agencies are fairly upbeat about Poland's economic performance, especially compared with other countries in the region. Ukraine has the worst ratings in the region, and the Baltic states may have their credit ratings lowered again. Standard & Poor's rates Ukraine at CCC+, while Fitch has a B rating for that country. Moody's cautions investors about buying Ukrainian bonds.
Baltic states, until recently hailed as Europe's economic tigers, have also seen their credit ratings revised downward in recent months. Latvia has been particularly vulnerable. As in the case of Ukraine, the country's tense political situation may lead to problems with meeting International Monetary Fund recommendations, experts say. Fitch has slashed Latvia's ratings twice since October.
According to Moritz Kramer, chief analyst for Europe and Africa at Moody's, Romania is also in trouble, and Hungary is more exposed to the financial crisis than other countries in the region. In an interview for Polish daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita, Kramer has stated that Poland holds a double advantage over other countries in the region: it is less dependent on foreign financing than the Baltics, and has fewer problems with access to credit and maintaining liquidity on the banking market. Additionally, the fact that exports make up a smaller portion of Poland's GDP than elsewhere in the region should work to this country's advantage, Kramer said.© 2009 The Warsaw Voice.

I am going to lose one post in September due to crisis, but it`s not a big deal, another one will make up for it. Hard work? Hmmm, I have no idea. Probably the same things like everyday. |

This is a neat website I just learned about and wanted to share. You can create your own word puzzles online. It is a great tool to help kids learn each others names when a new group is being formed. It could also be used to help kids or kids-at-heart learn other things, such as the names of Polish cities. puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/WordSearchSetupForm.aspYou can also do other puzzles, such as crossword puzzles (called criss-cross puzzle on the site) and mazes by using the "Puzzlemaker online" section on the left: puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/I may have to create some of these for the kids before our next family vacation and put in data about where we are going, what we plan to see, etc. It would be educational and it would keep them occupied while traveling! |

Bonobo and Tufta, Can you please give me your opinions on this? If one were going to be in Berlin and wanted to travel from there to Poland for say 2-3 days, what would you suggest as an itinerary (keeping in mind that the potential traveler enjoys classic architecture, history, and cultural traditions as well as natural elements)? Thanks!  |

Thanks! The closest place which fulfills the requirements specified in your post ;D ;D is Poznań.  For details, check wiki. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozna%C5%84
Poznań [ˈpɔznaɲ] ( listen) (Latin: Posnania; German: Posen; Yiddish: פּױזן Poyzn) is a city in west-central Poland with over 567,882 inhabitants (2006). Located on the Warta River, it is one of the oldest cities in Poland, making it an important historical centre and a vibrant centre of trade, industry, and education. Poznań is Poland's fifth largest city and fourth biggest industrial centre. It is also the administrative capital of the Greater Poland Voivodeship.Funny but I am planning to visit Poznań this holiday. |

If one were going to be in Berlin and wanted to travel from there to Poland for say 2-3 days, what would you suggest as an itinerary (keeping in mind that the potential traveler enjoys classic architecture, history, and cultural traditions as well as natural elements)? Thanks! It depends on the means of transport chosen. By train, which is excellent and departs 3 times daily from either Berlin and back from Warsaw, Poznan in between, the journey takes 6 hours Berlin to Warsaw, 3 hours Poznan to Warsaw. So out of 3 days there will be only 12 on the train and one arrives directly downtown. By car it takes 7 hours normally, 6 hours for the speeder, but if one arrives in Warsaw during the rush hour it takes additional hour to get downtown, and you arrive tired. Both cities will supply a dose of architecture and broadly understood culture difficult to digest in the given time. For the natural elements (plus great historical experience) I would think about a trip to Biskupin through Gniezno, while in Poznan. I am not sure but my guess is one needs 90 minutes by car to get there. Read about Biskupin there www.biskupin.pl/index_en.phpGniezno which is on the way was the first capital of Poland en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnieznoAnother trip to think of is from Warsaw to Kazimierz Dolny. It takes two hours by car. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazimierz_DolnyThe beauty of this tiny town and cultural heritage is stunning. Dense crowds unfortunatel, too. OR ;D By plane to Warsaw. Three days in Warsaw in too short ;D ;D |

I agree that such a trip would be way too short, but three days in Poland is better than zero. This potential opportunity was a complete surprise. There is still much research to do and spousal negotiation to take place, so we shall see what happens. |

www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/06/14/iran.protests.twitter/index.html(CNN) -- Iranian protesters have found a new outlet to mobilize and take action. The presidential election has proved how much opposition supporters can demand change without necessarily taking to the streets. Just give them a computer and an Internet connection and watch what they can do. Supporters of defeated Iranian presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi protest in Tehran on June 13, 2009. At the height of the protests and disorder in Tehran on Saturday and Sunday, Twitter was used to give graphic accounts to a worldwide audience - even if they were a maximum of 140 characters. Tweets from "Change for Iran" were among several that offered real time updates: "...my friend saying more than 100 students arrested, I can't confirm this but the numbers are high. bastards just attacked us for no reason, I lost count of how much tear gas they launched at us! ...we have now some students with urgent need of medical attention I'm calling out to all ppl who can come here don't leave us." Still, it provides users with an outlet to the outside world as the country waits for broadband and wider wireless coverage. With the absence of text messaging and mobile services -- both were cut off across the country on and around election day and were still blocked on Sunday -- Twitter proved to be the most reliable communication technique between people inside Iran and millions of others on the outside thirsty for any update. Twitter has enabled people to express to the world their hopes for the elections, excitement at the chance of exercising their right to vote, jubilation in President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's camp and shock and disappointment among Mossavi's supporters. Guys, shame on us. Iranians oppose the regime with the help of Twitter, they are making history in their country, everyone is under great impression, even Hilary Clinton. And we? Can we do it?  Yes, we can!!! For anybody who doesn`t know what Twitter is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TwitterTwitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read each others' updates, known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters, displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to other users - known as followers - who have subscribed to them. We wanted to capture that in the name -- we wanted to capture that feeling: the physical sensation that you’re buzzing your friend’s pocket. It’s like buzzing all over the world. So we did a bunch of name-storming, and we came up with the word "twitch," because the phone kind of vibrates when it moves. But "twitch" is not a good product name because it doesn’t bring up the right imagery. So we looked in the dictionary for words around it, and we came across the word "twitter," and it was just perfect. The definition was "a short burst of inconsequential information," and "chirps from birds." And that’s exactly what the product was. —Jack Dorsey[9] Note the last statement which is crucial: and we came across the word "twitter," and it was just perfect. The definition was "a short burst of inconsequential information," and "chirps from birds." And that’s exactly what the product was. Let`s go.

I have dropped by to say that again I am busy like a bee. I have to finish my second work assessment report till Tuesday. It is a development of my first report. The previous one had 11 pages, this one will probably have about 50.
Today we had a lucky misfortune. The screw holding the support of the car`s engine broke (the third time, this 3000 engine is too powerful) and I had to visit my befriended garage, driving slowly through the city like a lame duck. Luckily, they found 15 minutes (I didn`t pay anything! I wonder why? Were they so generous because they saw 3 boys with me? ) so I was still able to take kids to a game arcade.
Why lucky misfortune? I thank God it won`t happen during vacation like 2 years ago - I had to leave the car at a village garage for 5 days. I didn`t need it so much but it was quite a trouble anyway.
Today I cooked Hungarian gulash but half the company didn`t like the classic tomato sauce I prepared. Strange guys.

Is this a common problem for your model of auto? It seems you have found a good quality service station.
Does Bo have a heavy foot?? Hmmm...
We are on our fourth day of 90+ degrees f. I was lucky and had scheduled 4 hours of Industrial control networks training so I got a break from the heat.

This is the third time the screw broke on the road. Luckily, the car is so sturdy it allows to drive carefully without the engine suspension. It isn`t the foot but the weight and power of the engine. |

I guess that is what we refer to as a motor mount. Its a bolt that is cast in rubber and bolted to the engine. The rubber block is then in turn captured by a steel band and bolted to the frame. Is that it?
I still think you are a "motor head" ;D

Is that it? Exactly. I lack proper jargon. The bolt breaks in two but it does it so nicely that the part left in the frame sticks out a bit and can be unscrewed. |

It is unusual to break a bolt repeatedly. Do you know if the mechanic is replacing the bolt with a manufacturers bolt or a bolt bought locally? The reason I ask is because a bolt bought at a local store is usually a grade 8.8 bolt, whereas, an automotive specific bolt is usually grade 10.9 or higher. www.boltdepot.com/metric-hex-bolts.aspxA powerful motor is a good problem to have! |

Tim, first I thought you hit the nail right on the head with this remark. I don`t take my car to FORD licensed garage because they charge incredible prices. But, as it is serviced by professionals anyway, I don`t think they use normal bolts from a hardware store. They say my engine really kicks and broken bolts are nothing unusual. Yes, but when on a road, there are hardly any cars I can`t overtake. With full load of passengers and luggage and with a handbrake on, driving up a steep hill. Yes! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

For the time being we have to stay at home. We are going to leave next week, probably.
Before vacation I had planned to renovate the garage and my room. But I decided to add others too. Yesterday I refreshed the bathroom and toilet as well as kitchen`s ceiling and two walls. I am also going to repaint all other rooms and the balcony.
I am crazy. It is vacation after all.
But I feel bad doing nothing. like

Yesterday I processed 100 pound amount of sour cherries. It is a record for one single day. It is warm, the wine has started to grow violently, the foam is getting out of the glass container whatever it is called.
When it is done, I will have about 18 gallons of excellent wine. But now I am very busy with it and my forearms need a rest.

For the past three years, since my daughter married a young man from the state of Vermont and became a dairy farmer, August has meant to me a trip up to the farm to experience and share their way of life for several days. Each time I go, I try to truly indulge in the farm experience in increasing ways.
The first day of the visit, we arrived late in the afternoon, so there was not much time left for my daughter and I to do anything except feed and water the chickens and gather the eggs before heading inside to make dinner. My son-in-law (I'll refer to him as "Jake") has recently hired his younger brother ("Keith") to do the evening milking for him so that Jake can work on other farm projects during that time. My daughter (I'll call her "Ellie") prides herself on being a natural and local food advocate. She cooked a delicious meal of whole grain rice boiled in veal broth made from a young bull (born of one of their cows and slaughtered shortly after birth), and red lentils with grated zucchini squash from her garden, plus other spices and greens.
Part of Keith's working agreement is that Ellie will feed him dinner on the days that he does the milking. We all had a pleasant meal together sitting on a deck outside the trailer in which they live on their rented farm, enjoying the mountain vistas all around us. After dinner, Keith headed on home and Ellie, Jake and I had a little song fest with Ellie playing the guitar and leading us in a few songs. Then it was off to bed at about 9:00 pm.
The work day for Jake begins at 4:30 am as he heads off to walk the cows from the pasture to the barn and begin milking. The sound of the milk pump awhile later serves as an alarm clock for anyone who is not familiar enough with the sound to sleep through it (me, for example!). Around 6:30 am Ellie is up and making a hearty farm breakfast of oatmeat with cream, homemade yogurt and maple syrup for both Jake and me. Jake came in after awhile and we three shared breakfast and some quality time chatting. Ellie and Jake plan the day so that each knows what the other will be doing in order to coordinate the use of their one car.
The weather had been hot and dry so it is prime haying season in the neighborhood. Many farmers can be seen on tractors in surrounding fields taking advantage of the haying weather and working diligently to "get the hay in". Jake is no exception and heads off to another part of the farm to mow. Ellie has a shipment of chicks due to arrive the next day. As she only has two movable chicken coops and needs one for the 50 new chicks that will arrive, we must consolidate the hens she now has in two coops into one and decide which hens to remove for slaughtering so that the hens will not be too crowded in their one coop.
Ellie picks two hens she believes are not good 'layers' and we separate them out from the others. When Jake comes back to the barn area mid-morning, he does the dastardly deed while Ellie watches and I go for a short walk. When I come back, the headless (sorry for the graphic detail) chickens are hanging from a rod over a barrel. Ellie is bringing out scalding water in which to dip the chickens and then we both begin plucking them. I was quite proud of myself, as I figure this was a skill most of my ancestors possessed until up to probably my mother's generation. I was pleased to be able to acquire this skill from my own daughter. Once done with this task, Ellie gutted and cleaned the birds, froze one and put the other on to cook for soup that night.
After lunch Ellie and I headed over to her mother-in-law's home near the town, where I was dropped off to discuss plans for an upcoming baby shower, while Ellie headed off to the village to do some errands. The parents-in-law are not farmers and live a very conventional life style but in a rural setting. Upon Ellie's return, her MIL took us on a tour of her many beautiful gardens in which she spends hours during the summer. Before heading back to the farm, Ellie and I stop in the village to visit with Jake's other brother, "Tim" and his wife. Tim is an organic vegetable farmer and his wife raises goats. We checked out their operation and viewed their newly cleaned-out space in the original family barn where they have set up their farm stand.
Then it was back to the farm to ready the chicken soup for dinner and for Ellie to help Keith walk the cows to the barn for evening milking. The farm is located at a cross roads and the pasture the cows were grazing in was kitty-corner to the farm, so the cows had to be crossed over two roads to get back to the barn for milking. Ellie generally helps Keith do this when necessary as Jake is still off haying. Crossing the cows entails setting up two wires with flags across the road to warn cars to stop and to keep the cows contained while crossing. They crossed them over the first road, then while the cows walk single-file along the edge of another pasture, Ellie and Keith rush over and set up the wires across the road in front of the farm. The cows cross over and head up the lane to the barn. While they were crossing the cows, Ellie and Keith were calling out over and over, "Come on, girls, come on girls!"
The second day ended with the delicious meal of Mexican chicken soup made from the hen that had been scratching the ground only that morning. The heat was dying down and this night proved to be a very cool one requiring an extra blanket. As I drifted off to sleep, I could hear a Great horned Owl hooting in the distance...
To be continued...
