Where to Go for Your Secret Doomsday Planning Needs
Posted by David Shorr

Going to see the '2012' movie left FP Passport's Blake Hounshell with a semi-serious question:

What is the proper forum for secret doomsday planning? The G-20? The U.N. Security Council? The P5+1 or the EU3+3? Every country for itself?

Of course we know that even doomsday planning can't be kept secret because Foreign Policy or Washington Independent is bound to expose it. But okay, let's say the world is facing cataclysmic threats, what combination of powerful nations can the world count on to fend off the apocalypse? [Wait, don't we, in actuality, face cataclysmic threats?]

Blake's right, shame on the movie's producers for highlighting the anachronistic G8; clearly they haven't been paying attention to all our informative and relevant blogs. Their impulse to feature one of the G grouping leadership clubs may not have been off the mark, though. When you need high-level political will from the most influential countries, a G group is the right place to look. They have summit meeetings at their heart and global or regional power is their membership criterion. So my answer for Blake would be the G20. Next time they make a politico-apocalyptic thriller, they should ask us.

If something bad is really going to happen on 2012, I think that they will tell us like 1 or 2 months before it happens, so theres no way people can prepare for that.

Hobo handbags generally replica handbags work best in solid colors, as we've seen from many celebrities, although animal prints designer handbags do work on occasion but if, and only if, the bag is a solid print. Typically, a hobo authentic handbags handbag is too large to have embellishments and ornaments all over. Otherwise, the handbag sale simply looks tacky. In the hybrid of styles on Whitney Port's handbag, designer handbags sale she keeps a solid black style that's embellished with fringe on the bottom of the bag and laced-up sides. The bag itself works as a high-end western bag or as rocker chic and clearly stands out from Port's casual look.Finding a western-style Chanel handbags sale hobo handbag for the average person isn't difficult, however. One option, if you can handle the less space, is to go with a retro slouch purse decked with fringe, as seen in this link from Western
Chanel handbag online Express, a western wear store. The bag maintains the solid black color with only one embellishment from a concho. The fringe, additionally, lines the front of the Chanel handbags online bag instead of the bottom. As western style has become a common fashion trend for this upcoming season, such handbags combine high-end fashion with traditional western style.

Obviously missing are solar power and atomic timekeeping (radio setting), though for the price, I'm still impressed.Case construction is that of most G-Shocks: resin case, screwed stainless steel caseback, inset crosshatched buttons, integral raised bezel. The strap is an integrated, dual-tang thorn buckle, and is quite comfortable.One new feature on the GA-100s is the "speed" dial at 12 o'clock. You set a distance, then use the stop Breitling Replica Watches to measure times. Once you've done so, the dial indicates speed. Basically a tachometer, though digital and on a subdial instead of the bezel as normally seen. Might be useful for racing fans, coaches and the like.Also of note is the fact that the stop Breguet Replica Watches is unusual, measuring the ludicrously precise 1/1000th of a second up to 100 hours. Given human reflexes, I'm dubious as to how much of that precision is useful, but Jaeger LeCoultre Replica certainly quite cool and not commonly seen.On the wrist, the GA-100 is very comfortable. The light weight is spread across a larger area, reducing the already-light weight. The hands are easy to read at a glance, though the LCD panels are a bit more reflective than I'd like and take a bit more effort to read.Two overall comments: First, it's a G-Shock, meaning that functionally, it's impeccable. Bulletproof, inexpensive, functional, and reliable. Secondly, the size and bold colors will either appeal to your, or they won't, so make your decision based on whether you like it or not. At $99, it's an easy Gucci Replica Watchesh to recommend.Our thanks to Casio PR for the review unit.By Paul Hubbard; For updates on content, follow Concord Replica Watches Report on Twitter.

The sides are beautifully sculpted and the lugs extend from the bottom of the case in a way that compliments almost any strap, or the bracelet. The design is very fluid, and it sits perfectly on my wrist. Replica Kenneth Cole Watches is solid, smooth, and has a very vintage feel to it. The crown is a lovely size and features the Benarus three dolphin logo on its edge. The bezel is a Replica Jacques Lemans F1 120 click dive timer that fits the case perfectly with no play, wiggle or flex. Replica Immersion Watches of any case is in its details which is where the Moray excels. Its retro design seamlessly integrates with the solid end links of the bracelet. The dial is quite unique as well; Replica Jacques Lemans Watches is a very dark grey/black with a slightly tactile metallic tone -- not glossy or smooth. It's very hard to describe, and I have attempted to capture it in the photos. The markers and numbers on the dial are not inlaid but appear to be made of painted on C3 luminous paint. The lume is first rate; it charges quickly and lasted well into the night or through a movie. The hour and second hand have metallic edges while the minute hand has orange edges that cause it to stand out. This is my only issue with the Moray: I'm not a big fan of the continuity of the orange hand. It's not bad, but Replica Orient Watches really stands out. (The Ocean7 LM-2 has a similar orange minute hand, but it matches the orange accents on the reflector, second hand, and logo.)The dial is almost sterile, only indicating the brand, the automatic movement, and the water resistance. The date window is small and unobtrusive with white text on a black wheel located between the 4 and 5 markers. The dial design is very similar to that found on Panerai Replica Hamilton Watches, but the hands, date Replica Leonard Watches, and paint application has little in common with Panerai.
