The main problem is Albert and his system. Only without Albert and those supporting him MC can recover.

so the pope has cancelled his visit to MC. They say that his agenda does not permit a visit to MC. Surely when it was announced to happen they have consulted his agenda. Benedict is German after all and so is his secretary. They are organized and mostly reliable. It is either a result of fatal and his sidewalk wife not having shown at the beatification of John Paul II last year, which clearly was felt as disrespect or due to the sold bride scenario of their wedding and the very obvious ignorance of trashy of catholic customs. After all she still hasn't learned that she has to bend down and kiss the bishops ring, when greeting him. I suppose that's why she has not been to see the pope yet. Wonder if that is on her to do list or if she rather skips on that one seeing that she only goes to church for the photo op. www.monacomatin.mc/article/derniere-minute/le-pape-differe-sa-visite-a-monaco.777094.html |

www.monacomatin.mc/article/monaco/alerte-rouge-la-tension-de-lelectricite-baissee-de-5.777960.htmlsince they do not have any own electricity, MC has to cut down consummation. Sucks when you are totally dependent on electricity  . Unlike other parts of Europe, in MC and PACA the heating of apartments is entirely by electricity. Last time I was there in December, I had to turn the heating on, although it was a lot warmer then in Germany, but insolation is incredibly bad. Just for comparison, in MC I usually had to start heating in September, whereas here in Berlin I have turned the heating on only recently. And only on very low and for a few hours per day during day time. We have central heating in the building with pipes running through the entire building. As the owner enabled heating since October, the pipes running through each apartment keep each room on a minimum warmth and thus with good insulation, individual heating is low, especially during periods of sunshine, which we have had most of the fall and winter. If MC would have their buildings as well insulated, they could cut electricity down to at least 50% of what they are using now.

I'm actually surprised Monaco's state religion has only been in effect 50 years!? That puts us in the 60's. Then like now the mores had to have been pretty non-existent. Whatever happens now to God loving sinners? Monaco is f*cked royally when its level of sin has no redemptive appeal. Tragic.

I am going to respond to the below portion of Sandsla's post in this thread. ... If anyone has some empathy for Caroline, they can support her by seeing Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo that is currently at the Segertrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, CA (across from South Coast Plaza in Orange County). I wanted to support the ballet, but I did not want to step foot in Monaco because that would be supporting the idea of Charlene at the same time, and the idea of that is sickening. I imagine this is probably posted somewhere else here, but the ballet will be there for a few more days, so if any of the California girls are interested in giving a much deserved nod to Caroline and the idea of Monaco B.C. without the offense of supporting anyone else. I imagine it is traveling through the states for the other ladies. Instead of Albert and Charlene heading to Hollywood so Charlene can try to fulfill some delusional dream that she actually matters in America and prove that she is better than Kate, they should be trying to highlight Monaco's cultural events. But, I am sure Albert must realize by now that his trashy bimbo wife will NEVER EVER influence anyone that cares about the arts to support any cultural event that she is peddling. Charlene actually repulses cultured people. Here's an Italian article from Monte Carlo News about the Monaco Ballet being in the U.S. "Monaco Takes U.S." events of the tour U.S. for the Ballets de Monte-Carlo
by Sara Contestabile
FEBRUARY 10, 2012
Absent from the U.S. since 2008, Les Ballets return with Cendrillon in Costa Mesa, California (9-12 February) and one more song and Opus 40 in New York (15-19 February)
"Monaco Takes U.S. "is the series of events linked to the U.S. tour, organized for the return of Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo , organized by the Consulate General of Monaco and the Monaco Government Tourist Office in New York with the cooperation of the Princess Grace Foundation.
Absent from the U.S. since 2008, Les Ballets return with Cendrillon in Costa Mesa, California (9-12 February) and one more song and Opus 40 in New York (15-19 February). The two cities are also some evenings alternranno charitable with Jean-Christophe Maillot and members of the company. All the funds raised will be paid to les Ballets and the Princess Grace Foundation-USA.
Since last February 2nd has also opened an exhibition in the luxury shopping mall, South Coast Plaza (which receives on average 60,000 visitors a day). Leitmotif of the exhibition, cultural heritage and the Ballets de Monte-Carlo (costumes, photos and video) and the role of HRH Princess of Hanover and a tribute to the influence of Princess Grace, whose foundation dedicated, celebrating qust 'the age of 30 years.
Such an installation will start on February 11 in the Forbes Galleries in New York.Costa Mesa will also present a culinary event in Monaco and a contest that will offer a trip to Monaco.

Paca had mentioned the below comment in another thread, but i will respond to it here. I was here few weeks ago, I have to say I didn't find too much change. then you didn't notice the closing of banks and shops? The xmas lights at the casino were extremely downsized to previous years, the xmas market at the port practically empty and from what I hear residents leave the country asap as they can on weekends and holidays. The orchestra will soon be only about half size plus they are not finding a new chef. The good =, young musicians are leaving for other orchestras to pursue their careers as MC does not offer them a prospectve future. Everything cultural will be downsized or is bound to disappear. Construction that used to be solely financed by the state is now going to be financed privately, hence things will be decided by private investors and that is where the majority of the money will go. With the judgement of Albert and his lot, they will do major money laundering via public construction projects. ASM has been sold to a suspected murderer (there is no smoke without fire, especially in Russia). The economic strategy is to cater to rich Russians and that is their only strategy. Ultimately they are turning MC into a Russian mafia holiday resort. That will keep any decent people away. But that of course will be perfect for trashy and her lot as they will have the perfect environment for themselves to prosper. Monaco is really seriously doing very badly in all aspects of the country. I have stated this several times, but I haven't posted the many many articles confirming this. I saved many of them, but Sandsla comments about the Monaco Ballet and Paca's comment about the cultural downsizing reminded me of this last September interview with choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot about the slashed budgets and merging of three cultural organizations - Ballets de Monte-Carlo, the Monaco Dance Forum and Dance Academy. Recall, Charlene's goal is to make Monaco the fashion capital of the word - meaning she wants everyone in the world to think that she is the Fashion Princess (best-dressed) of the world. This woman doesn't give a flying shit about the cultural life of Monaco. From the Monaco Matin:
The Ballets of Monte Carlo are restructuring
Daphne Manuel
Thursday, September 29, 2011
The Ballets de Monte-Carlo has not been immune to fiscal discipline.
There are a few more days, they lived in the theaters of Madrid and Biarritz. The fifty dancers of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo will make their (r) between October 21, on the stage of the Salle Garnier. Next stage, it will be appreciated, between light and shadow, Opus 50, the director choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot, Earthly Dearest Friend, Marco Goecke and The Death and the Maiden, signed Petr Zuska. Behind the scenes, that's another part that is played. Fusion of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, the Monaco Dance Forum and Dance Academy, fiscal discipline and new perspectives ... In this "complex reality", the ambition of Jean-Christophe Maillot home, traveling between artistic vision and financial imperatives .
The company was merged with the Monaco Dance Forum and Dance Academy. How this merger is organized does?
The ambition to unite the three structures is from an observation of practice and a genuine desire of the Princess of Hanover. These three associations are all aimed in different forms to talk about the choreography. It appeared necessary, in a small country like Monaco - in size, to streamline operations by combining the three. And as there are to date in the Principality, budget problems, I think the government saw in this project, the ability to generate savings. This is not that simple. The difficulty is how to organize the restructuring of all three associations in the short term, into one single association, legally. It would combine the Dance Academy Princess Grace, whose function is to train young dancers, and the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, which of course can use the school as a pool, while maintaining its ability to create and dissemination of choreographic art under the label of Monaco in the world. I also think she is the artistic structure in Monaco, which has the most possibilities for the dissemination of the cultural image in the world. And then the Monaco Dance Forum, Monaco offers the public a greater diversity by hosting events or contemporary academic. Finally, the structure around the dance in Monaco, Monaco allows the public to see what is the best on the international stage today, but also, and importantly, it can continue to create "made in Monaco "and present it in the rest of the world. There really is a perfect complement between the three structures which allows for a unique center for the dissemination of the choreography.
Will there be cross-functional projects?
Of course! For example, the pianists of the company will also accompany the courses at school. Professors who teach in the company or school s'interchangent. This, in order to create synergy. The idea is also to streamline the administrative order to simplify the structure. What should be done gradually and sensitively. It is true that there, budget cuts do not help make this transition quite calmly.
Were the three budgets merged?
The three budgets have been cut in the same way. The entire structure is experiencing a budget cut of about 10% over two years. This requires us to review the operation. The challenge is there.It is a very delicate tightrope exercise. It is about finding the right balance between not too decrease the activity, do not pay this too much to staff. The dancers, in particular, operate with great flexibility and tolerance to situations imposed. The 2012 season will ask us to make efforts in all structures in a coherent whole. The duty of a director of cultural structure is to respect what is given. I am very proud to have always kept my balanced budgets for twenty years. This is because we make the effort, not because we have more than enough.
Do you have sponsorship by the banks?
We have a very special relationship with the CFM, our sponsor, and I understand that it will become a partner much more important to allow a financial balance.
The creation in all this?
Of course, this does not encourage creativity.The reality is that a complex structure like ours works two or three years ahead and for now we will not know until October 2012 our budget. This means that we must achieve, again gently, to keep or delete the planned activities without straining to see people in the profession. Ambition, I've still a lot. I have always worked in this, I strongly believe in the reality of the moment. My ambitions (they are pretty simple) is to maintain this level of excellence of our own, to offer a Monegasque quality and level of demand that can discover what is best. And hope that this financial situation is only temporary. But we have every reason to be a little worried. It is very difficult to have perspective as it is not clear what the intentions in the medium term. We should soon get an idea of what the future holds. I hope so, anyway! "

Just a reminder, the downsizing happened just two months after Albert spent between $60 and $70 million (although their public position is that they only spent $30 million) on his trashy wedding to show off his trashy bride. Albert made the government spend $15 million on the wedding with the promise that this $15 million was an investment in Monaco because their wedding will make Monaco the Romance Capital of the world and the New Grace (Trashlene) will bring glamour and attract people to Monaco and Monaco. But, what kind of people did we predict will be attracted to Monaco once they saw how well Trashlene did? Think Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Doesn't that character reminds you of Charlene (although Julia Roberts doesn't look like a man in drag) - thinking that dressing herself up in expensive clothes will make her classy and respectable. Oh, let's not forget getting glee when people suck up to her. See this article in the Monaco Matin. Some of these women are making up to 12 000 euros a week (48 000 euros a month) - Charlene was getting 40 000 euros a month when she first started working for Albert and before she got the whole enchilada.
The boom in five stars prostitution on the Coast
by Jean-François
Saturday, January 21, 2012
Under the DSK scandal, the Sofitel New York in the thin parts of Carlton in Lille, in fact hides a new way of luxury prostitution. For two years, and with a sudden acceleration of the phenomenon in recent months, these high-end prostitutes have made the Coast and some of these luxury hotels their forward base. More "Julot" violent counters are on a street corner. These girls, often sublime, elegant, sometimes surdiplômées work throughout Europe, jumping from one plane to another to complete incredible "International Tour" of commercial sex.
Invisible ... in luxury hotels
In Nice, Cannes, Monaco, this five star prostitution is booming. To the dismay of owners of hotels or palace. " It is a little distraught to this phenomenon , which confirms Michel Tschann, as president of the union of hoteliers Nice, echoes of an entire profession. These girls are invisible. At least undetectable. But they are there. They usually come in pairs. Russian, Latvian, but also French. They are dressed to the nines, an absolute discretion but it is clear that they work. "No soliciting, so no prosecution possible. Little or no mafia network in the background (see also) . The new pin-up sex luxury are most often independent.
"Up to 12 000 'a week"
Real working-girls who plan their activities at European level. Their relay: websites or they post their resume enticing and inform potential customers of their European tour dates, as would a rock star. Appointments rascals, whose suites of luxury hotels are the theater, books are on private forums on the net or directly via SMS when " the client has become a faithful ". Since they do nothing to disturb public order, their business thrive. Tatiana, pulpy nerd - she has two Masters of Law - admits that "come weeks, " he came "to earn up to 12,000 euros." Like her, they are now living hundreds of prostitution as an activity economic luxury. A few months ago in Nice, the owner of a website sentenced to 10 000 euro fine for hosting ads on the net of these working girls sex conceded at the bar having more than 597 clients in search of ... Partners portfolio well filled!

What else is booming in Monaco since Albert made Charlene the new image of Monaco - cocaine use! Coincidence - maybe - maybe not. For a connection recall Eringer's below March 13, 2010 blog entry (all though many oldtimers here call that one in the beginning). One of Eringer’s sources in Monaco has provided astonishing information that sheds light on why Prince Albert’s relationship with Charlene Wittstock seems to be going nowhere.
It harkens back to Albert’s Antarctica expedition in January 2009--and a trail of snow to Charlene’s 30th birthday party in South Africa on 25 January.
Tension ruptured over refreshment from Argentina (and how it traveled to Cape Town).
Now, read this recent Monaco Matin article: A lucrative cocaine market in the Principality?
by J.-MF
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
Drug cases come more often in front of the courtroom in the Principality. Public Safety and Justice, in order to curb this trend, increasing preventive and punitive steps. Result: four defendants were cited during the last hearing. Appearing only three Sandro O., P. Francois, Louis S., David D. failed to appear *.
They are between 28 and 35 years and they are charged transportation, possession, acquisition, sale and use of cocaine from 2007 to 2009. Transactions were at the home of Sandro O., in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin or the surrounding **. The latter operated a system of "group buying" to his colleagues. But it is Monaco, "SAS Café," which had held the resale of coke to customers. Because they were servers.
€ 65 000 in the bank?
"How much did you have any buyers? " asked the president, Marcel Tastevin to Sandro O. "An average of five a day, he replied. This resale allowed me to supplement my income months.The purchase price of the 40th / g, I sold the powder between 60 and 80th in the nightclubs of Monaco. "
Then it's time for Louis S. "We found € 65,000 in your account, the president announced. This may be the savings with your salary as an employee of station? " But the young man was found white as snow!
Attorney JJ Ignacio said that "on the part of Monaco, is beyond the hundreds of grams of cocaine. Therefore, I require for P. François six months' imprisonment. A sentence similar to David D. For Sandro O., which recognizes supply his friends, the penalty shall be not less than eight months. "
And one year in prison required to Louis S. "for his role. For it is the only one with economies that are not related to its financial condition attendant. "
The strongest condemnation reserved for his client, pushed me Franck Michel who tried to argue, in particular, the invalidity of the first police custody. "If he had genuinely 65,000 euros, it would continue to the attendant ? " And to claim "a lot of indulgence."
Response on February 17.
* Names have been changed.
** The defendants will appear in court March 24 in Nice on the French side of the case. Mr.Bousseron Cyril and Mrs. Casini-Emmanuelle Bachelet assessors.

SBM has a "recovery plan" Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 19:07 After 22 ME loss for the year 2010/2011, and an early 2012 that does not look better, the Société des Bains de Mer has unveiled its Wednesday, February 15 "stimulus and recovery". "There will be no social, no layoffs." This is the announcement reassuring What made Jean-Luc Biamonti, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Societe des Bains de Mer (SBM), Jean -Louis Masurel, Managing Director, and Isabelle Simon, executive vice president. To reverse the decline, the Deputy Director General outlined four areas of development that are based on quality, winning new customers (including Russia and China), adapt to this new customer services, and create "new centers of attraction ". Stimulate activity and reduce costs Among the items the most "expensive", "personnel costs currently represent 54% of turnover," explains Jean-Louis Masurel. "With the recovery plan drawn up over three years, we expect the non-replacement of retiring. "An early retirement plan negotiated and should also interest some fifty people. The leaders also want employees enforce laws, agreements and other agreements already in existence. To implement these objectives, management will set a timetable for renegotiation with the social partners. For Isabelle Simon, this is to agree on "a new social pact." |

. Unlike other parts of Europe, in MC and PACA the heating of apartments is entirely by electricity. Last time I was there in December, I had to turn the heating on, although it was a lot warmer then in Germany, but insolation is incredibly bad. Just for comparison, in MC I usually had to start heating in September, whereas here in Berlin I have turned the heating on only recently. And only on very low and for a few hours per day during day time. We have central heating in the building with pipes running through the entire building. As the owner enabled heating since October, the pipes running through each apartment keep each room on a minimum warmth and thus with good insulation, individual heating is low, especially during periods of sunshine, which we have had most of the fall and winter. If MC would have their buildings as well insulated, they could cut electricity down to at least 50% of what they are using now.
