EUROPE: the IMF asks for EU members to share in a 78 billion euro bailout of Portugal. EU Finance Ministers unanimously agree.
NEW YORK: Head of the IMF offers to have his wife post $1million bail to get him out of Harlem police Cell. Judge refuses.
The most minute details concerning the incident that lead to Dominique Strauss-Kahn missing his flight this weekend will no doubt become common knowledge over the next few weeks.
What happens after that is relatively binary. If the facts are established to be anything like the official charge, then we won't hear much more about the man formerly known as DSK (what the French call Mr Strauss-Kahn).
But if it proves to be a set up, he'll be the next President of the hexagon underneath England.
On Sunday morning I read blogs suggesting the suspects include a) parties associated with hard-fighting centre-right President Sarkozy, b) the far right National Front who are simultaneous written off as uneducated nutters and conniving fascists (while their popularity continues to climb above Sarkozy's), c) his own party which has a history of deep disunity, and d) Colonel Mustard in the library with a candlestick.
From inside France, the difference in global media coverage is mostly understandable: New York is focussed on the scandal while France is gripped with the political implications a year out from their version of Presidential elections.
The greatest difference in western media is the constant focus on the fact that he is a socialist.
In the US media, the phrases socialist and communist and witch/warlock are pretty much used interchangeably. In Europe, the phrase socialist is used to describe people from political parties that are on the left, but aren't so green they care more about trees than people. That leaves a lot of territory for the Socialists to own, and it makes them quite normal over here.
Like shops shutting all day Sunday and 14 year old kids drinking wine: initially it's jarring, but its not all bad when you understand it.
And very normal they seem to be: apparently they like fast cars, wild parties, flying first class, staying in $3000 suites in the Sofitel in New York. So while US/UK/Australian commentators are quick to jump on the fact that a Socialist is living the good life, I am not sure all European socialists will damn him for this.
Modern Euro-socialism isn't built on dislike for the finer things in life. Its growing popularity is a reaction to perception that big-money-influenced-democratic-capitalism has failed to improve the life of people in the bulging middle part of the income distribution curve.
This "Working Class" plus "lower Middle Class" section is hard to define precisely (particularly between economies) but there is no doubt people know what it refers to. It might be more accurate but heavier-on-the-tongue to say households with pre-tax income between the 20th and 60th percentile of all households.
This group in the US has quite spectacularly been mere spectators to the wealth generation of the last 20 years. It is a neat quip to say that they now watch this event on much bigger televisions, but even high definition viewing does not negate a growing unease.
So when a socialist is pulled from the pointy end of a jet leaving New York, will socialists see him as betraying the cause?
French/Cuban writer Anais Nin, who I reckon must have been a socialist at some point, said it best: we don't see things as they are, but as we are.
If you are a right wing capitalist, chances are you see a Porsche loving, champagne drinking French socialist as a sell out and a fake.
If you are a French socialist, you might think that the suites of the Sofitels should be occupied by people working for the IMF not executives of, for example, BP.
You might think First Class on Air France should be filled with people in public service not just foreign capitalists.
What does anyone think the French socialists are going to do with the champagne from Champagne if they get control? Let their opponents drink it? Of course not.
Why let your opponents have all the good stuff?
After all this is what it is all about: the opponents of socialism have run the world for a long time, and the top end has taken most of the good stuff. Or so it would seem from a socialist perspective. Their idea now is that it is better to work within the system, get control and share the weath. Including the better quality champagne.

The "growing popularity" of "modern Euro-socialism"? This must be happening in some other Europe than the one on the map.
Euro-socialism with its wanton spending has several countries facing bankruptcy already - Portugal, Ireland, Greece - and others ready to follow, such as Spain and Great Britain. It's a discredited movement except among those who live on unsustainable benefits from the public purse.
Even now the Euro threatens to collapse under the strain, with the wealthier countries such as Germany being asked to prop up the failing socialist states. I doubt that current Euro-socialism will last out the decade. There comes a time when governments run out of other people's money.
Sony B Goode says:
It is in fact the ultimate hypocrisy. What is true though is that the left is socialist and continue to use the distribution of wealth which follows a Pareto distribution as a means to brew class warfare and hence bootstrap themselves into power.
As we all know a Pareto distribution is a very steep curve, and has been shown to derive from small differences between products/services amplified in a network of buyers and sellers called a market.
Socialists use the shape of curve which is vast inequality as a base for support for its politics of envy. But as we can see DSK enjoyed "the good life". It's easy to point to the curve and say that its shape is wrong and should be more "equal". Of course this is complete and utter nonsense. The only way the shape of wealth redistribution could be more equal is every purchasing decision was controlled, for it is the sum of many purchasing decisions, choosing slightly better products that send disproportionate profits to companies with better products and services and the result in vastly disproportionate profits. To further add to wealth inequality the rich reinvest their profits, whilst the middle class and poor do not. This investment drives progress and innovation as evidenced in free societies.
Other interesting properties of pareto distributions are that the mean of curve is variable, and its height is a function of the total size of the economy. The bigger the economy the more those at the top end can accumulate, whilst the average keeps shifting. This gives the illusion that the rich get richer whilst the poor get poorer, when in fact the shape of the curve doesn't really change but people move up and down the curve.
These facts make for an easy sell to a gullible public who can never catch up to the wealthiest. The fact the wealthiest come and go is quietly ignored.
A final point is that only through authoritarian means, controlling what is produced which is in effect eliminating competition or controlling what people buy can vast inequality be tamed. "Progressive" taxation as we see around the world does not inhibit Pareto distributions but slows them down. An obvious conclusion is that the left is inherently authoritarian, and we see this in every case around the world where inequality has been targeted.
The clear conclusion is that freedom of choice and material equality are mutually exclusive. Material inequality is the result of vast number of individual choices amplified in a network of buyers and sellers and only by eliminating freedom of trade and freedom to innovate can the left achieve its aims. Socialists thrive on the politics of envy.
The implication is that the left in a democracy suffer from a collective cognitive dissonance chasing two diametrically opposed aims of material equality and freedom of trade. One can't have both.
John says:
The time of Nationalist is upon Europe! Not voting Nationalist in europe is like putting a gun to your own head and pulling the trigger. All other parties represent a form of marxism(satanic death cult), which is all a form of self destruction. Europeans, need to wipe out any trace of Marxism from Europe. It's an evil satanic ideology that wish's to destroy their European Aryan tribe. The demise of the radical Marxist Dominique Strauss-Kahn also this Marxist Banker, is like hitting two birds with one stone. Its in the best interest of the Aryan people of europe. How can the french have another radical marxist take over their country. Lets hop the Marxist EU and Marxist Euro collapse's! It's in the interest of the Aryan European people. Marxist US collapse and Marxist UK collapse, will finally bring a death blow to the Marxists.
John says:
The way i see Europe is like this, it's politics are based on Marxist ideology. 90% of parties are controlled by an Marxist upper party. The upper marxist party is a hidden party that resides in the controlled media, European banks and project groups as the Marxist EU, and Marxist Euro currency. The lower marxist parties give you the illusion of a free society with their theater plays. The Nationalists which are not controlled by the upper party are attacked heavily by the upper party usually by their Marxist media(called extreme, crazy, out of touch with the marxist party), in order to try and keep them in check. I also think there are some controlled Nationalist parties, fake parties such as UKIP and far-right National party of Holland led by Wilders. These parties are most likely funded by the upper party to keep the Nationalists suppressed. So basically the EU is like the Soviet Union, It's a Marxist empire, giving you the illusion of a free society which is not the case. This is why Nationalists must take power, and then uproot the Marxist disease from europe. Marxism is disease, a virus, Nationalism is the cure.
john says:
Marley, Capitalist bankers bank rolled Bolshevism Communism in Russia which resulted in the mass slaughter of 40 000 000 white Russian Christians for believing in Jesus, the Russians were treated as cattle and animals and slaughtered like animals. It's no surprise, the IMF is parasitical organization, that lends money to third world countrys with the catch of taking control of the water, electricity and other supplies. It's all driven by self interests. Im sure the IMF want to bring about International Communism through out entire world.
John says:
"the far right National Front who are simultaneous written off as uneducated nutters and conniving fascists (while their popularity continues to climb above Sarkozy's" If the National Front are uneducated nutters, why is that nobody dares to debate them? Name calling is the weakest form of defense. Check this new poll!
23% uneducated nutters shall make Front National the NEW government of France. Front National is predicted for the WIN in france!! Freedom from the Marxists!!!! is near I hope this cause's a chain reaction, making a Nationalist revolution in Europe, then American's also rise up against Marxist Obama the Marxist Republican and Demoncrat parties. Pull all out troops out of the middleast!!!! FREEDOM FOR THE WESTERN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GODs of the heavens will be pleased, that we have finally defeated evil.

Peter, I can see where you're coming from.
Also, who wouldn't want to drink champagne and own football clubs.
On the other hand, I suspect that the poor dumbos who vote for DSK have about as much chance of ever being invited to join him sipping champagne up the pointy end of the plane, as your average inhabitant of "The Block" has of scoring an invite to have a beer with Russell and Peter in the Owners' Box at Redfern Oval.

St. Michael says:
Money, and the making of it, is incentivised. Get used to it. No other system we've tried on the planet works. See: Russia, Cuba, South America, the EU.
The simple fact is, government in our time has no incentive attached to it other than the getting and holding of power. It attracts those who find that concept attractive - across the board.
George Orwell was a socialist himself, and he accurately portrayed communism and socialism (inadvertently) in Animal Farm, but also bureaucracy. Lord Acton, though, who was a member of the British upper class himself, managed to sum it up in six words: "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely."
hot tub political machine says:
If nothing else, this thread should encourage us that the Punch is pretty pro-free-speech in what it lets through. I haven't had reading material like this since before spam filters on email
Sony B Goode says:
People should stop confusing national socialists, ie Nazis for a far right ideology.
These are all anti-capitalist socialists. Nazis being nationalist and Russians being internationalists.Hitler: "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."
Personally, if we have an axis of freedom with socialism on the opposite side of liberty, as necessitated by the use of authoritarianism to control material equality then there really is nothing on the far right opposite end of the spectrum except maybe anarchy.
Modern Nationalist parties can be either left or right, the only obvious factor in Europe is their opposition to the Islamic Trojan horse.
More important than democracry, ie mob rule is the idea of Republic, a constitutionally limited democracy. Something which socialists are, maybe not even consciously aware but constantly trying to undermine in order to redressed the perceived but inevitable imbalance of wealth distribution created by freedom of trade.
As we can from DSK everybody wants the good life, but many don't want to either earn it, or risk capital to develop it, which is the lefts target market. That is one of the key dividing factors between modern left and right.
Colmac says:
Orwell sums it up nicely
"four legs good, two legs better".
& "All animals are equal
but some animals are more equal than others"
Sony B Goode says:
reds under the beds, socialist. Communist, American democrat, labor party, leftist, greeny, when you look at the meme involved it's all variation on the same theme. Needy vs greedy. Poor vs rich. Control vs Freedom.
This meme keeps morphing over time but it is running out of hosts, being sterilised by the light of facts and clarity of understanding.
Personally I am so over left/right, a new scientific based paradigm is developing that explains the reality of the relationship between freedom /inequality and authoritarianism /egalitarianism.
However both left and right become virtually indistinguishable in power. Howard handed out more middle class welfare then can boggle the mind and labor panders to vested interests as bad as the liberals, both squander taxpayer money like drunken sailors buy whores.
We have to accept inequality as a necessary outcome of freedom to trade and reject authoritarianism which stifles progress innovation and prosperity.
Imo a modern political party should reject the socialist compulsory redistributionist meme and reward voluntary care of the needy not through centrally managed projects that burn billions without any real results, but through individual incentive schemes.
Aggressive taxation invites aggressive lobbying and avoidance and should also be rejected as it attracts the power hungry politician to manage large unnecessary budgets.
The role of banking and central banks in particular needs to be carefully re-evaluated given money is created by bank credit and historically underwritten and regularly bailed out by government at taxpayer expense.
John says:
Central banks need to be torn down. IMF, EU Central Bank Fed and World Bank. They need to be replaced with Bank of America, Bank of Germany, Bank Australia, but they are also not allowed to be foreign owned. The Government should administrate the Bank. Same thing with Water, Electricity, and the Media government owned, all owned by TAX payers, people of the nation. If you allow the system we have now, you allow International Bankers to steal, buy out entire countrys including the media, where only their self interests are pushed. We become slaves to them and at their mercy. This is why Internationalism, is dangerous! Nationalism is the only way for freedom, liberation from oppressive internationalists. Think about all you guys paying your mortgage, i wonder how much you owe to international bankers. I bet you have to work an extra 10 years because of their system of money for your house.

wolfie says:
John, there is no point in trying to discuss with people who are the product of some of the most successful brainwashing campaign the world has ever seen.
These are people who acquire all their knowledge from Hollywood Films and a centrally controlled Mass Media together with an education system where a teacher or professor can be jailed for being able to prove that the status quo or a particular version of history is a lie and fraudulent. They wouldn't recognize the truth if it was dangled in front of them and they totally fail to understand the mechanism at work.
The key is in understanding lies in understanding the role and the aims of the World Bank and the people who are in control of it. It is also important to begin researching and keeping an open mind regarding the last two world wars and the Bolshevik and Chinese Revolutions. It just happens that the Bolshevik seems to have been a Zionist takeover of Russia in which the New York based banker by the name of Jacob Schiff was instrumental- About 75% of the leadership just happened to be of Jewish descent and they had an active program of exterminating around 40 million Christians and starving several million Ukranians by denying them the food that they produced.
Ultimately the first and the second world wars were financed and directed by Zionist interests for more and more control of European money and power. For those scoffing away, I suggest you begin researching these things independently and then come to an honest and intelligent conclusion. Those of you who have the understanding and ability to look at this subject honestly will be quite astounded.
I used to believe everything I was told about our modern history until I began noticing that people who challenged the official version of the First and Second World war , for example, were systematically professionally destroyed and in some cases jailed in the name of several Zionist groups who control everything from the mass media to the judiciary and Hollywood that produces almost on a monthly basis hate films in order to discredit anyone who dares to challenge the Hollywood Version of the bad Germans and the poor suffering Jews. This black and white version of history is not only incredibly simplistic but it is horribly dishonest.
Ignorance is a terrible affliction for which there is , fortunately a cure. The information is at your fingertips, but you have to do the work yourself. BUt it has never been easier than today with the internet- certainly there is a lot of nonsense around but with enough research the researcher will begin noticing a storyline.
. The only thing is that in order to do this type of research you need time and an open mind.
It is very comfortable to simply believe everything that is told and those who are happy with this fairy tale will always be subject to being manipulated. But then again the band wagon is the best place for a herd animal.
John says:
I wonder what will happen if a financial collapse occurs.
1. Bankers will blamed! The idea of International Bankers and Free trade destroyed over night. Bernanke, Greenspan flee the US in jets.
2. Marshall Law Military on the streets?
3. Communists using anti-capitalist propaganda to try to take power?
4. Civil War
5. Division with in society, (all groups divide)
6. The end of the free market
7. Hunger,
8. World War IIIIt's amazing what type of damage the international Bankers can do to a country. Also interesting how money is the glue that keeps politics, law and orders in check and enslaves nations to international marxist cause. If this falls, politics change radically. We also must understand that corruption is usually fueled by money, once it drys out, corruption goes along with it.
GOD help the US, Europe when this occurs.

Delighted to see that John is so hale and htreay. He produced my first Saturday Night Theatre for Radio 4 back in '79, and set the bar of professionalism so high that I've never forgotten the experience nor the lessons I drew from it. It's only looking back that I realise how fortuitous my career timing was. With just one spec script it was like I stepped into radio's National Theatre; today I'd probably be redirected to Holby.

ut of My Skin
by John Haskell (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $14)
Working from a premise that "sounds like a gimmick," John Haskell has created "one of the most distinctive American novels of recent years," said Gregory Leon Miller in the San Francisco Chronicle. Haskell's narrator, a newcomer to L.A., takes inspiration from a Steve Martin imitator and starts acting like Martin, too. When "the impersonation begins to take over," Out of My Skin becomes "a richly suggestive, deeply funny, and elliptically philosophical exploration of identity."
by John Wray (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $25)
It seems a shame to give away even the outline of this "meticulously constructed" novel, said Charles Bock in The New York Times. One of the pleasures of reading it is discovering slowly that its 16-year-old narrator is a paranoid schizophrenic who's off his meds by the time he enters the New York subway intent on saving the world. As his mother and a detective give chase, John Wray displays an impressive command of both suspense and tragedy.
The Housekeeper and the Professor
by Yoko Ogawa (Picador, $14)
Very little happens in this "strangely charming" Japanese best-seller, said Ron Charles in The Washington Post. A brain-injured mathematician who can't retain a new memory for more than 80 minutes repeats himself often as he conveys his enthusiasm for numbers to the woman who prepares his meals. But "you can't help but be seduced" by the delight the housekeeper takes in learning, and the story is "flecked with" enough wisdom to keep us "engaged throughout."
The Way Through the Doors
by Jesse Ball (Vintage, $14)
The author of Samedi the Deafness "appears dedicated to writing odd books," said Laurel Maury in the Los Angeles Times. His latest novel is "a lovely, unpretentious little thing," a tale about a young city inspector who begins spinning yarns for a comely girl who lost her memory in a taxi accident. The protagonist "tells stories nestled inside stories," as if he were unpacking a Russian nesting doll. "Every strange line of prose feels, somehow, thoughtful and necessary."

Hotel Guest Reviews of the Princesa Sofia Gran Hotel
Our hotel ratings and reviews are from real hotel guests. Priceline.com ensures that its reviews are guests-only by proactively sending hotel surveys to customers after they've completed their hotel stays. In the post-stay surveys, priceline.com hotel customers are asked a number of questions about their stay and the hotel. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, the survey asks guests to rate their overall experience and specifically rate the hotel's cleanliness, staff and location. Priceline.com does not allow site visitors to post unsolicited hotel reviews.February 26, 2014
good location if you want to go see a football match . Subway close. I would go back .
October 25, 2013
My review in the quality of the hotel was an eight as opposed to a 10, The rooms were clean, however, the halls were dated.
October 23, 2013
Priceline lists this property as a five star and the hotel proudly displays 5 stars under its name on the outside of the property. Do not be mistaken, this is at best a 3.5 star property. In fact the regular rooms would be ranked far below. We were forced to upgrade (xxx Euros per night) for a room that still did not impress. The location is not optimal except for attending Barcelona football games. We were very disappointed with our stay there. Normally bidding on 5-star properties with Priceline will mean that we at least get a 4 star that is clean with good service. This one was a disappointment. ...

ok not to be mean to eldiric but dude seriously hill billy its in the shape of a hill
Really simple concept, really original, really challenging. I sucked at it so I just used a guide to get through easy mode.
i was never really that good at these but a lot of the expressions used here i've never heard of. or at least i don't use them commonly.
i always loved these type of puzzles but i hate doing them at skool cuz u work uinder pressure this was a really sooting brain teaser but alot of these puzzles are very commen but thank you for giving me 10mins of ebntertainment
Wow, this was a nice and fun game. Easy mode was, well easy (not surprisingly) and hard mode was, well hard!
I do have a few suggestions for you, because I think some of the puzzles have double meanings:
time after time OR time and time again
you're out of line OR you're out of place
Also, I found the 'rising economy' one wasn't done very well. It looked squished more than rising.
Anyways, great job.

Ryan Reynolds "Trying to Change" Blake Lively?
10:06 am, February 7th, 2013
"Blake to Ryan: Stop Trying to Change Me!" blares a headline from Star, which claims that Ryan Reynolds's "insistence on green, outdoorsy vacations has his wife Blake Lively seeing red."
According to a "source" for the tabloid — which embarrassingly reported Reynolds was "absolutely against getting married" just days before the couple tied the knot — the actor has "taken her camping on both of the short breaks they've managed to get in since their marriage in September."
Uh, were the newlyweds camping when they vacationed in Paris in December?
Anyhow, the mag's tipster goes on to say that "Blake's starting to worry that they'll never go on a fancy vacation again."
RELATED – Star Claim: Ryan Reynolds 'Lashed Out' at Blake Lively For Getting 'Touchy' With Ex-Beau
Reynolds "is in danger of repeating a past mistake," since his "camping obsession" is allegedly "one of the reasons he and Scarlett Johansson never worked out," a supposed "close friend" allegedly tells the tab.
Here's what's true about Star's story: Lively and Reynolds sometimes go on vacations.
Here's what's not true about Star's story: Everything else.
A source close to the couple tells Gossip Cop that the magazine's claims are the "funniest thing ever" and "ridiculous."
In fact, Gossip Cop is told the couple "just got back from a lovely vacation" that didn't feature anything resembling camping.

After visiting Rome, Florence, Venice & Sicily, we will end in Positano for 4 nights. Our flight back to the U.S. leaves from Rome on a Saturday morning. We think it would be best to leave Positano on Friday and stay in Rome overnite so we won't be rushing Sat. morning for the airport. How do you advise we get to Rome on Friday while making the most of the day? Should we rent a car and stop along the way to Rome (Pompeii, Villa d'Este or where?). Should we take the train or hire a driver to Rome? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Getting back to Rome from Positano?

I'm a big proponent of public transit: You could take the Sita bus to Sorrento and change for the Circumvesuviana train, stopping at Pompeii (there's a left luggage facility) before taking a late train from Naples back to Rome. You also could use the left luggage facility in Naples Termini and explore the city before catching the train to Rome. In addition to the archeological museum (a little stuffy but crammed with all the treasures from the ancient ruins) and pizza, there's a beautiful Carravaggio in one of the churches and other "hidden" gems.
You might want to get a hotel room not far from the train station in Rome to facilitate getting to FCO. Just make sure wherever you book has guaranteed late check-in! -
Report Abuse
How many in your group?
If you are 3 people, then a driver/taxi from central Rome to the airport (about 40E) will be the same as three train tickets to the airport. If you are 4 people, a driver/taxi will be definitely be cheaper. If you are only two, the airport train will be about 10E less than a driver. The driver/taxi option will you to stay anywhere in Rome and not be stuck staying near the train station - especially important if you drive from Positano early in the morning and are in Rome before noon (it's about a 3-1/2 hour drive).
I guessing a driver from Positano to Rome is too expensive (about 300E). I would rent a car.
You can price the long, multi-stage public transit option outlined above (SITA bus to Sorrento, then a Circumvesuviana train from Sorrento to Naples, then a Eurostar train from Naples to Rome). The public tranist option will likely be more expensive than renting a car - even if there are only two of you. If your group is more than two people, transit could cost much more.
I would investigate all the options both in terms of price and total (hotel door to hotel door) time. Factor in convenience and what it is worth to you. -
Report Abuse
Also look at taking a public boat or bus from Positano to Salerno and then the train to Rome from there.
Report Abuse
There will just be the 2 of us. Hiring a driver at 300euro is too expensive for us. I'm thinking we should rent a car and drive to Rome. Should we take the bus to Sorrento and pickup the car there or ? Do they do one-way rentals? Then maybe stop in Pompeii or drive directly to Vill d'Este and skip Pompeii? Also trying to decide where to stay for last night in Rome for ease getting to airport.
Another question . .We are flying from Palermo into Naples. Can we take a boat from Naples directly to Positano? If not, how do we go about getting to Positano via boat? -
Report Abuse
Hi gj,
There is bus service from NAP to Sorrento or Meta:
You can take the boat from Sorrento to Positano if you'ld rather not go by SITA bus.
Report Abuse
Yes you can rent a car one way. You'll need to pick it up in Sorrento. As mentioen, you can go either bus or boat from Positano to Sorrento. For hotel in Rome, I suggest just staying in the neighborhood that most appeals to you and having a driver or taxi you to the airport (it will only be 10e more than two train tix).
Report Abuse
I am going to ferry/hydrofoil from Positano to Salerno (one last beautiful view of the coast), then train from Salerno to Rome. Make the most of your last day, either by spending most of the day on the coast and then taking a late ferry/train, or by getting to Rome early and wandering the city. Stay in the neighborhood in Rome you like and taxi to the airport in the morning.
Report Abuse
ekc -- Is it not possible to take the ferry/hydrofoil from Positano to Naples and then train from Naples to Rome? I emailed metrodelmare.net for boat schedule information and received a auto-reply stating the service was discontinued in Oct. 2010. Does this mean there is no ferry service from Naples OR the ferry service is seasonal and will start up again this spring or summer?
Still going over all the options on how we will get back to Rome from Positano our last day. The logistics are really something on the Amalfi Coast! -
Report Abuse
It simply means it will start again this Spring/Summer. It gets "discontinued" every October.
Report Abuse
The problem with taking a ferry to Naples is you have to get transport from the port to the train station.
In summer, there is a bus from Positano to Rome that doesn't involve any changes. Departs Positano at 16:10 and the cost is 20.50€. -
Report Abuse
Yes, getting from the port to the train station in Naples can be a drag! The Positano-Rome bus sounds like a straightforward option.
Also, do an advanced search on this forum for posts/comments by A_Brit_in_Ischia and GAC. Both have written extensively on transportation in the area including schedules and instructional photos; GAC is something of a resident train expert... -
Report Abuse
I agree with kybourbon. I took the bus from Positano to Rome last Summer, and it was great, comfortable, and easy.

Posted on 12/02/2013 2:18:20 PM PST by smokingfrog
Police in Iceland said Monday they shot dead a gunman the first time armed police have killed someone in the nation.
Iceland, which has a tiny population of around 320,000, has a low crime rate and gun violence is extremely rare. Its regular police force does not carry firearms.
Haraldur Johannessen, National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, said Monday's incident was unprecedented.
Police said officers were called to an apartment in the Reykjavik suburb of Arbaer early Monday when a man fired a shotgun from inside the flat. Two policemen, who were not armed, were shot at when trying to enter the gunman's apartment.
Witnesses told local media that a smoke bomb was thrown into the apartment through a broken window in efforts to subdue the man. A special armed unit then entered and fired at the man, who was rushed to the hospital, where he died. No one else has been injured.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
The perp must have emigrated there from Detroit or Cicago.
...and voted for Obama. Twice.
No name given. My spidey sense is tingling with this one.
Even money the surname doesn't contain 'son'.
The Nordic country of Iceland has one of the smallest Muslim communities in the world[citation needed], of only 770 people (as of 2013). This corresponds to 0.2% of the population of Iceland.
Iceland has had quite a few nazists, and in later years been extensively infested by Iran connections. Some of the parliament ppl are more or less directly tied to Iran.
And Fridrik Skulasson, the author of F-Prot, has had tame antisemites on staff for many years. that may/should present a problem for him, as he's presenting tail to make himself interesting to Israeli capital. He probably hopes no one is aware.
770 muslims in Iceland is huge, and qualifies as an invasion.
But then, every community in the US, if they have a post office, tend to have at least two mosques.
The world is overrun like it was with nazists in the 1940's.
Icelandic Amish?
"Iceland, which has a tiny population of around 320,000, has a low crime rate and gun violence is extremely rare.......officers were called to an apartment in the Reykjavik suburb of Arbaer early Monday when a man fired a shotgun from inside the flat."
Still fairly rare, I guess. I'm confused. Are they pointing out how misguided they are in their belief about guns and criminals, or do they not know which end is the dangerous end, or what?
...Because civilian ownership of most classes of guns is prohibited.
Iceland requires immigrants to change their surname (ends in "son" or "dottir").
or ....dottir.
They used to but that was changed a couple years ago.
They still put immigrants out in the boonies though.
If I was unmarried and 25 years old, I'd move there in a heartbeat.
Article is deceptive:
"The British broadcaster referred to its May report on Iceland's crime rate, one of the lowest in the world despite widespread gun ownership. There are about 90,000 guns registered among Iceland's 315,000 people, making it 15th in the world in per capita gun ownership, GunPolicy.org reports."
see post #16
What are you talking about? We have never had much nazism here, nazis were a laughing stock in a country which barely knew what a uniform was. And what are you talking about ties to Iran or the computer company? Please refer to any kind of proof for your allegations, I at least have never heard anything like this and would like to know more if true.
The man that died had a history of mental illness, and could not be harbored at an institution I understand. He started making threats long ago, but sadly no one interveened and this is the result. Hithero the Icelandic SWAT team, called the viking team has been proud of the fact that they have never had to shoot anybody.
Oh, you may not have seen uniformed nazists marching, but that doesn't mean no nazists. They're there.
For the Iran links, check the farthest left and crowd-source legislators and pols for overt links to PressTV.
For the software company, check Fridrik and his old ties to East EU like Bulgaria. Not necessarily nazist, but as antisemitic as you get it, some of these folks. Same goes for the companys ties to Finland.
As I've said so many, many times: NO difference between socialist and national-socialist.
They have guns in Iceland? Who knew? I thought Iceland was all sweetness and light?
Glad you are on here.
Thanks for that. I check periodically here, but I must concede I have gotten more and more disillisiouned by the US and the discourse in your country. I follow it still, but I am gradually loosing my optimism for you guys and following that, the rest of the world.
I still have no idea what you are talking about. If you are talking about the Pirate party, they could have some connections but mostly to the anonymous and other free-internet groups. Hardly to the mullas of Iran. What is PressTV?
There are no anti-semitic groups in Iceland, but there is a huge following of pro-palestine groups, which have not been effectively countered in the last few decades. I just don´t understand your reservation about this computer company.
What is PressTV??
You really have no idea about much of anything, do you? Sorry to be so blunt. Living on a flyspeck and dreaming of vikings isn't good for you. Get out more :).
I just googled it, and now I know, whatofit, Iran´s english language channel, wow big deal, I mean it is not broadcasted here, so why should I know of it? The US is not the center of the world...or at least increasingly it is not...
But anyway, what are you saying about links with the theocratic regime and with anti-semitism within a political party here in Iceland (or more than one?) and within an icelandic company? Please substantiate your claims!
PressTV is the Iranian State and a large part of its spy network.
You say you're a student?
Maybe you should google a bit more? You might even find some antisemitic mullahs!
I just don´t understand where your attitude is coming from or your claims. I am only asking for some proof of your claims or anything that I could read about them so I understand. They are so completely alien and new to me.
In other things, we probably share similar views when it comes to Israel, Iran and anti-semitism, although I am not keen on your language. Sadly Israel is not winning any propaganda wars here in Iceland, Iran is not considered enough of a threat and sometimes criticism of Israel can sound dangerously close to anti-semitism.
But that being said, political correctness is rampant so it doesn´t go all the way to that and jews, albeit few here, are not in any way targeted or under any kind of threat or discrimination, overt or covert. That is why I am so surprised by your words and attitude.
Also, your name, it sounds nordic, Harðráði would be the icelandic equevelent i believe, could be translated as the hardminded. Where does it come from and why did you choose it?
So, in Iceland Iran is positively viewed, Israel is not winning any friends and broadly criticism of Israel is moving "close to antisemitism", by your own admission.
You know political correctness, but you don't know nordic history, having problems with placing Hardraade or even understanding the word.
Maybe you should research Somnambulism?
Wow, your attitude surprises me so much that I am going to give this one more change, to try to establish positive discussion, you don´t have to be so compatitive to everyone, there isn´t everybody against your or trying to one up on you, so you don´t always have to "win" every conversation.
I would not say that Iran is positively viewed, but way to many say, weather they truly or fully mean it, that the US is more of a threat than Iran, and cite the number of wars and interventions all over the world. But most of the time, when you talk to them further and reasonably, people accept the fact that the US is a force of good in the world, at least compared to Iran.
And american culture is ubiquitous here, by people from the whole spectrum of political thought, being for a long time very influenced by american culture through the military base here, its tv and radio and products. But of course the left tryed to limit that influence and we have for long time be divided between those that want to look more to europe and those that want to look more to the US. As english is generally understood its influence here is big of course.
But yes, sadly Israel is not winning the discussion here, there is no one publicly standing up for their cause, or at least not from any respectable sources and in any reasonable manner. And the criticism can go way too far against israel, but it is dampened by political correctnes as I say, sometimes it is not totally a force of bad things, even though it is most often quite hipocritic.
But about my nordic culture and history, it is not spoken in english you know, I have pointed out to you before that the english american world you live in isn´t the center of the world, even though its culture is influental. I said that i did recocnise it and I wondered if you were trying in some bad spelling english way to reference Haraldur Harðráði, the norweegian king whose story was mostly written and preserved by Icelandic manuscripts and sagas. The norweegians of course having lost our old common language preserved here mostly intact in my little isolated country write his name differently today, and in english of course different still, but none of that exactly matches your spelling.
That is why I asked, no need to act like an idiot when someone is showing an interest and trying to establish a common link. Please try this time to answer in a civil manner, I would like to know more about what you are saying, where you get your ideas and views and why for example you chose that name.
Best wishes/bestu kveðjur, from Iceland/frá Íslandi,

Named after the recording studio where they spent a week recording their debut album, Longview was a supergroup comprised of six top-ranked traditional bluegrass musicians and vocalists. With a sound that recalled the bluegrass bands of the 1940s and '50s, the sextet produced a memorable tribute to the roots of the hill-country sound.

Farms today are faced with multiple challenges. Between natural circumstances like droughts and floods to a market that grows more fickle by the year, farmers have had to evolve over the years in order to stay in the agricultural business. Hodges Farm is one such business that has learned to adapt. The farm started as a cotton farm until the mid-70s, when the market for cotton plummeted and the cost of raising the crop skyrocketed. Realizing it was not feasible to invest everything into a single crop, the farm began to grow a larger variety of crops like grain, wheat ...

A tech buzz word that has recently gone mainstream is "the cloud" - the concept of having everything on the Internet, or the Cloud, so that all you need is an Internet connection to do anything you want... anything. Cloud has gone mainstream because it has evolved from a technical topic among IT professionals to a business topic that entrepreneurs can appreciate.
Before I go any further, and if there is one thing that I would like you to take away from the Cloud: when technology is so easily accessible from a cost and technical perspective, there really is no valid excuse not to embrace it. Saying you are not tech savvy is no longer an option. Accepting and using this technology can do wonders to your business.
Now back to The Cloud. It is not new (sounds familiar?). I guarantee you have already been touched by it - your web email, your online photo album, your 5GB of free storage, these are all some form of cloud computing - i.e. online applications that take the burden of storage and processing power off you.
Trust the Cloud, and the force will be with you.
From our experience working with clients in the past two years, we have leveraged many of these online applications to provide cost-effective solutions to them and alleviate the working team from the intricacies of technology, allowing us to focus on the business.
Email You need serious email management platform to do serious email marketing. A platform that allows you to send, track and analyse your email messages and contact lists is critical for ongoing success. We've used ConstantContact and iContact. They are both great with only slight differences in user interface and reporting format.
Content Management System This scary word is no longer complicated or expensive. WordPress.com is a great platform with a big community of designers creating very nice looking templates that are highly customisable for all to use. It is not an enterprise level solution, but it is very good and it's free. Although Wordpress is supposedly made for blogs, but when the line between a blog and a website as you usually understand is blurring, does the distinction matter anymore?
CRM Another intimidating and ambiguous word. Customer relationship management systems are more accessible than ever. Salesforce and SugarCRM both offer advance CRM solutions at a monthly fee that is very small compared to a full installation.
eCommerce The eCommerce world has taken a great leap forward in the past 2 years. You can get everything you need to start selling online by paying a small monthly fee. Solutions like Big Commerce provide online tools to easily set up your professional eCommerce site.
Shipping Even third-party fulfillment can be done through the cloud nowadays. Ship them your products, connect it to your eCommerce site and voila, you have an automated fulfillment service. Shipwire and Fulfillment by Amazon offer similar services. Unfortunately this is not yet popular in Asia.
Intranet When we started our business 3 years ago, we bought all these book shelves thinking we would be filling them with all the documents you would expect to have running a business. These shelves are still quite empty. We use Basecamp to manage our projects, Dropbox to share our files, Google's business solution to manage our email and calendars and Skype to do calls. We don't even see a need to go to the office, let alone using the shelves.
Have a Cloudy day!

Shared publicly -The juicy part:
As you scroll down the list of information collected, you see that once you get past important emergency services (what we pay OnStar for), OnStar now has given themselves the right to also use this information to stuff their pockets. OnStar has granted themselves the right to collect this information "for any purpose, at any time, provided that following collection of such location and speed information identifiable to your Vehicle, it is shared only on an anonymized basis." – This provides carte blanche authority for OnStar to now track and collect information about your current GPS position and speed any time and anywhere, instead of only in the rare, limited circumstances the old contract outlined.
Anonymized GPS data? There's no such thing! We've all seen this before – anonymized searches, for example, that were not-so-quite anonymized. But in this case, it's impossible to anonymize GPS data! If your vehicle is consistently parked at your home, driving down your driveway, or taking a left or right turn onto your street, its pretty obvious that this is where you live! It's like trying to say that someone's Google Map lookup from their home is "anonymized" because it doesn't have their name on it. It still shows where they live! What's unique even more-so to OnStar is that the data they claim they sell as part of their business model is useless unless it's specific; that is, not diluted to the nearest 10 mile radius, etc. This combination of analytics, and their prospective customers (law enforcement, marketers, etc) requires the data be disturbingly precise. Anyone armed with Google can easily do a phone book or public records search to find the name and address that resides at any given GPS coordinate.

Reviews for Skyline |
whohellanoes chapter 1 . 1/15/2013 Great story. Thanks for sharing. |
Songirl chapter 1 . 8/20/2012 Gorgeous little snack of a story...going to check for more. Xo Jen |
sleeptalker1 chapter 1 . 8/17/2012 Skyline may be a birthday present for your friend but it's a gift for us all. Normal drabbles bug me - I'm not a patient person & so the time I have to read I prefer to spend reading a decent length chapter or o/s & not clicking 'next' every minute or so. So this was a pleasant surprise in having it drabble style but all on one page. A o/s which let us read between the lines with so few words given - not an easy feat but done so well. I only have one hope -read request lol- & that is you'll do Edward's pov on this. I'm sure it would be truly fascinating to see his side of things - him watching her from the outside, so near yet so far. Always wondering if she'd ever 'see' him & his relief/realisation when she does. |
Cathy9 chapter 1 . 8/17/2012 I loved Skyline, Bella's paranoia was fun and how she could not notice Edward is beyond me but you made it believable. Great read! |
Madeline4994 chapter 1 . 8/17/2012 this was great! loved the pacing. |
DeeDreamer chapter 1 . 8/14/2012 This was just... really NICE. *sigh* Thank you for sharing! xo DD |
abinar chapter 1 . 8/9/2012 This is just lovely. Thanks for sharing it with us. |
AnnaLund chapter 1 . 8/8/2012 Brilliant writing. And awesome that you kept the drabble-format, but without doing 711 chapters; you kept the words flowing, uninterrupted. Well done. I am sure your friend is falling to pieces over this one ;-) thanks for sharing your talent. anna |
Julia-S77 chapter 1 . 8/8/2012 Great one shot, loved it x |
jackqueenking chapter 1 . 8/8/2012 Short and oh-so-sweet. Thank you. |
EmersonReadClosedAcct chapter 1 . 8/8/2012 Certain relationships can take so much out of you that you can barely see to the end of your nose. It can be such a slow decline that you never realize how you could have gotten to that place. Two years is a long time. I would imagine her desire to stick it out for that duration shows how seriously she takes her relationships. its not written but I can almost feel Edward's surprise and palpable sigh of relief when she does finally notice him. That's good writing. Thanks for sharing. |
cilie chapter 1 . 8/8/2012 Absolutely love this! So few words, but so much to read between the lines. Wonderfully written, thank you! |
potcookies chapter 1 . 8/7/2012 this was adorable omfgggggggggggggggggg :3 |
Fiyaaa chapter 1 . 8/7/2012 sophiejax / jaxon22 tweeted about this :) Beautifully written and swoonworthy! Absolutely loved it! Happy Birthday Vicanlp x "like a pancakeless plate" - possibly the best simile ever. |
vickigoesroar chapter 1 . 8/7/2012 I loved it! vicanlp forwarded this to me and this is just the sweetest birthday present for her! So cute and fluffy and a tiny bit mysterious, my favourite! |
