What's with this new style in building design where they put up awnings that are just frames? They're purely decorative and don't keep the rain off. They don't even provide shade. They completely defeat the purpose of an awning. What happened to functionality? It's just like the shutters in this co...

I'd thought Putin is quite popular in Russia, especially due to the economic growth that's come under his administration. At least that's what I'd gotten from the BBC, though admittedly I was mostly looking for articles supporting that. Is there any data on Putin and Chavez's relative approval ratin...
