the swedes should be glad that immigrants are coming there because they are poor . sweden is cold and miserable hence the high rate of suicides. why would anyone wany to go there
What a stupid comment. Can't you come up with anything better?
Look up the suicide statistics and you will find that Sweden is way below France and Belgium, long behind Japan, Russia and Ukraine.... and many others!
They want to come here because they can live very comfortably on social security and receive full pensions from day one.
Just because we have long winters we should be thankful that people want to immigrate to our country? That is the most preposterous thing i have ever heard.
But you are right in one aspect, it sure isn't the weather that brings people here. It's free money.
the swedes should be glad that immigrants are coming there because they are poor . sweden is cold and miserable hence the high rate of suicides.
Have you been to Sweden in the summer? Have you been there in the Spring? In the autumn? Or in the winter? It is a great country, blessed by nature; four very distinct seasons and it is inhabited by a healthy people with a great degree of happiness.
Go see and you will find....
By the way, where are you from?
bull racist article.was author poached from daily_someting.co.cokoo.uk papper?
Any living (not even breathing)organism has the right to move about and settle anywhere in the solar system he choses.Nativists can go and chew on a rag of cloth with cross on it they call their flag.
Borders are illegal, not the people crossing them. 150+ odd ethnic based statlets are illegal.
no tribe in the world has the right to wall a piece of land they call "homeland" and deny access to it to another tribe just because they look different or speak different. Terra belongs to all beings.
And what tribe are you from?
People from failed states often claim a God given right to settle in countries which are successful because the people who created those countries/nations worked hard and diligently for many generations. Mexico to me seems like a failed state and that's why Mexicans all want to migrate north.
Are you from Mexico? Your pen name is "threeye" but you should try to open at least one eye so that you can see the world as it is and not like you would want it to be.
As soon as we remove ALL social security in Sweden they can open the borders. Would be interesting to see how many people would actually want to settle here if they were left to their own devices. You think a Somali family of ten could make it here over the winter with no government assistance? Please.
Please breeding machines disgust me as much as anyone.Breeding as way of providing for itself with means of comfortable retirement is of course reprehensible and shouldnt be financially encouraged.
Im rather inclined to agree with you about dismantling ALL "safety nets" out there for EVERYONE on the planet.No pensions,no child benefits ,no unemployment checks, no free medicine,NO INSURANCE of any kind.Insurance companies should be outlawed.
Military personnel of any kind should be declared insane and locked up for indefinite treatment."Nations" declared illegal ,borders teared down.
Brusseles may remain worlds capital and euro the sole legal tender on the planet.And of course every one more than welcome to roam in search for better life all over this planet and soon the closest planets.
Sounds pretty good to me
Sounds pretty Bakunin to me.
Great! Were do you live? I'm coming over tomorrow. Make sure you have stocked your fridge, made my future bed and please leave a stack of cash on the table every morning so I can get "established" in your area.
I am also bringing my pets and my Peter Pan-costume (I made it myself), make sure you got a room ready for my animals. Later I also have a poor family that also would like to live at your place since All your terra are belongs to us.
That is why immigration from non-western countries should be stopped until integration of existing immigrants has been fulfilled (equality between sexes, freedom of speech, tax moral etc.). The endless flow of non-western immigrants to the Nordic countries will only lead to a complete destruction of the welfare model.
The political correctness of especially the journalists in the Nordic countries is the main problem. The voters are being forced into voting "political correct". However, as seen in especially Sweden, the native population is fed up, from being named a neo-nazi by the political correctness elite with little support, "Sverigedemokraterna" has now more than 10% support.
In my understanding and in most others also, the welfare model of the Nordic countries is build by a common understanding of values, where all contribute. As the article clearly indicates, the welfare model needs more than 80% of the adults working. With an average of 51% of non-European in the workforce (Sweden), the problem is unquestionable.
Most journalists and spokesmen for the political correctness will argue it is a state problem. However, as statistics shows (often hidden by journalists) immigrants from Siri Lanka, China, etc. have even higher workforce participation than ethnic Nordics. This indicates more a cultural problem among immigrants from countries like Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq etc. The interest of contributing is non-existing. And finally once people from these countries have job, where are their willingness to pay tax? (Of 180 million Pakistanis, 780 000 paid income tax in 2011). Is such an attitude a good start when entering into the Nordic countries?
Swedes compare others like the United States as being arrogant, but they need only look at themselves in the mirror to see bigots.
Case in point, double-standard news coverage of Swedish reporter Martin Schibbye who is former editor of Rebell, a Swedish Communist newspaper, and a denier of Stalin holocaust against Jews...Mr. Schibbye and partner Johan Persson paid armed Somali Ogaden (ONLF) murderous terrorists (who machine-gunned over 70 Chinese and Ethiopian oil workers in bed at night) to guide them illegally across the border from Somalia into Ethiopia, where a gunfight ensued and people died. Yet, Swedes vilified Ethiopian government for not immediately letting the White Swedes go free without any consequences, but if African reporters had attempted a similar deadly act in Sweden, there would have been outrage for them to rot in jail. Unlike Sweden, U.S. does not defend Americans who break international laws.
The supposed "fake video": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iD3BKd_PlA
I have no problem with that swedes commiting crimes abroad gets their punishment. Most "swedes" arrested abroad have engaged in some form of terrorist activities, Persson and Schibbye was the odd example...
"The Nordic countries are still among the world's most equal, and in one important respect they are becoming more so. In 2010-11 around 60% of university graduates in Finland and Sweden were women."
In what possible world does a large and growing gender gap in educational attainment constitute becoming *more* equal?
I am Swedish and know that the Swedish poeple commenting here and complaining about people being "politically correct" are people who want to kick out 90% of the immigrants arriving to Sweden. They whine and moan about how "politically correct" everyone are. "Politically correct" just meaning that you are not a complete jerk. These are also the same people who, no matter what the content is of a newspaper article, comes into the commenting section and claims that the problem exists because of immigrants. It could be anything from problems of housing, climate change, having a bad day: Everything is the immigrants fault.
Thank you Svedingo for exposing the real Swedish problem so eloquently: the routine repudiating of dissident critics as "complete jerks". Sounds familar somehow...? Soviet..was it?
Where all think alike - thinking is scarce. Remember?
Is it that hard to allow only educated migrants in?
Educated immigrants might take jobs away from Swedes. That's the downside of letting them in. However, they are a lot more likely to actually contribute to the Swedish society instead of becoming a burden to the local taxpayers. Also, any immigration, if it becomes massive in numbers, threatens to dilute the local culture and is likely to affect your way of life, as different cultures mix and mingle and impact one another. Is it good or bad? I don't know. It probably depends, but I doubt that the Swedish culture can benefit much from cultures where women are considered to be second-class citizens, for example. You can't mix up a culture that belongs to the modern age with a culture lost somewhere in the Middle Ages and expect a harmonious society to emerge as a result of that experiment. If you are building one nation, there has to be some unifying set of values and ideas accepted by the majority of the populace. If you don't have that than what do you have and how strong is your nation is going to be in the face of some adversity?
Educated immigrants can take the jobs of the locals, but they are a lot more eadier to accept. In my country islamic immigrants, like syrians, palestinians are all doctors, engineers, professionals, all have local wives and respect local religious traditions like Christmas. They are a ot more integrated than, let's say romas, who have been here hundred of years but still didn't conform to the local habits to this day.
So it depends much on what type of immigrants you let in. If they have spent time in school in their home country, it' s obvious they would behave the same in the adoptive country. If they were peasants in Somalia with less than four years of schooling, what do you expect of them. Clearly no Einstein or Oppenheimer will arise from such a background.
Educated people who know geography go to Florida and nice places like that not gloom cr__ place like sweden or finnland
Poor people knows that in sweden you get free money for doing nothing, so of course they are coming to sweden. Educated immigrants may go elsewhere, but we get the illiterates who are after the free money and retroactive childsupport-money(yes, only in sweden).
My god, if the influx of doctors and similary educated people was the discussion-ground, I don't think that many swedes would complain as much as they do now.
And then we haven't even graced the aspect of the cultural-clashes...
"50% of prisoners serving more than five years, are foreigners. "
I would like to know the source of this information. Is it actually true?
These figures are classifed and suppressed by the Swedish government. The official agency for crime statistics (BRÅ) published these figures until the mid 1990s (+50%) but was ordered to stop compilng the data. In Sweden, any kind of information that could undermine the official multiculturalism or immigration policy is suppressed and silenced by the politico-media establishment. In The Swedish debate, facts are dangerous and replaced by propaganda. Voters are not trusted with the truth.
PS. Just to get an idea of the level of deception in the Swedish pr-machine. When there was a discussion about the extreme over representation of non European men for assault rapes, a researcher at BRÅ stated that it was caused by the rape victims projecting their own racism on the rapists in their minds and changed the skin color of the rapist when they told the police. Blaming the victims!
Yes, it´s true! (Totaly it´s about 60%!)
Do you have a source?
Aah, you have the good service to wright comments left in UK!
This article is eminent, hope you have try to send to our goverment, I am sure they don't want to publice it, but in our "alternative media" which became more and more in front, I found it.
Thank you!
Ingemar from Sweden
The interesting question is: what is the REAL driving force behind this seemingly inexplicable immigration policy, mind-boggling to the paying public but so fervently vindicated by the Swedish political and media establishment?
After the war Sweden happened to become a much admired role model for much of the rest of the world. We were free, democratic, peaceful, equal, law-abiding, orderly, honest, trustworthy, hospitable, generous, helpful, good-looking (women), nice, inventive, productive. And rich. And what have you.
Oh yes! Some selfmade success, weren´t we? A great country. Broadly revered. Deservedly so. It seemed. And, incidentally, spared almost all the devastations of that ugly war. An expedient fortune, though not all that admired in some camps.
Over time that Swedish establishment became addicted to international admiration and that domestically very useful political praise. The Swedish Way could be construed as The Right Way. Or why not The Only Way. And it all felt so good.
The trick worked through the fifties and the sixties and helped incumbent socialist policymakers keeping conservative opposition reform legislation at bay.
But times were changing. They always are. The role model buckled, flaws were maliciously unveiled. Draconian tax laws, Orwellian state controls, cocky international postures. And the admirers now had their own successes. The Swedish Way hype was no longer a staple.
But the addiction still was. The feeling of being that Great Good Power of sorts was just too fulfilling to be abandoned. So, the deteriorating Swedish international standing called for substitution of admiration pieces. "The usual aspects" couldn´t be rounded up any more. They were equalled or surpassed in too many countries. Or simply blown.
The search for The New Swedish Showcase was on.
The timing was fortunate. The 68-riots, Vietnam protests and so called peace movement paved the way for high profile international moral standpoints. Perfectly cost-effective for a nation hit by dwindling economical advantages. Preaching international solidarity developed into a domestic political hit. With ensuing mandatory endorsement by everybody wanting to stay in the political business. Or any business.
Sweden designated itself to be the leading contributor (per head of population) to good international causes. Now, good causes are rarely as good as alleged, and as gullibly spent billions trickled out in less good directions the causes lost their charm. And political use. The taxpayers were not amused, and the would-be international admirers not duly impressed.
Along comes the asylum stunt. Taking on suffering innocent victims of war and persecution is as good as it gets. Posing globally as their finest benefactor must be the ultimate Great Good Power ploy! The do-gooders wet dream.
Most of that incoming lot are neither suffering, innocent nor victims? So what! Sweden is back! No one beats us! Admiration galore! Our esteem abstinence days are over! We can pose again!
The English had their empire. The French their Gloire. The Swedes their international goodness. And it all felt so good. Like dope. First you like it. Then you need it. Then you can´t do without it. And if you can´t quit it, it will ruin you. Just wait.
I myself was a 1:st generation immigrant in Sweden due to the fact that I immigrated to Sweden with my parents when I was 7-years old. I grew up in a low-class suburb in the eighties-nineties and witnessed the horrendous effects on the Swedish society caused by mass immigration from third world countries in Africa and the Middle East. This phenomenom had a completely devastating effect on the, already poor, suburb where I grew up. Where there was at least some trust amongst the citizens this is today completely gone. The number of rapes per capita in Sweden as of 2012 is second only to South Africa. Crime rate is soaring and anyone who dares to question the status quo and where this is going is a racist. Need I say I left Sweden in 2010.
where did you go if i might ask? I am also thinking about leaving this sinking ship...
Move to Australia, life over there are just a variety of every day choices and worries. Swim trunks or shorts..park or beach..smoothie or heroin..

Trust among citizens has been eroded in Sweden as a whole over the past 30 years, not only places with a lot of immigrants, it has little to do with immigration (in fact, many of the high-immigration areas are also the areas where you will find the most community spirit and solidarity, relative to the rest of the country), it is the consequence of individualistic right-wing policies that dismantled large portions of a society that has taken a century for the workers movement to build. Immigration also has little to do with the high unemployment rate, this is largely the result of the central bank completely adopting the policy of keeping inflation low at all cost and a whole host of liberalization projects. Unemployment quite suddenly rose from the low single digits to the high single digits in the early 90's and have never since recovered. I know it's frustrating to deal with a society falling apart and it's easy to find scapegoats to blame in lieu of simple answers, but digging, reading and staying informed is the only way we can restore some sense of solidarity and equality in this country, lest we go down the road that so many others have taken in history...
Its staggering to me that someone would use the 'number of rapes per capita' as an argument for leaving Sweden. It shows the lack of even an elementary understanding of how crime statistics are constituted in different countries. Sweden has a very comprehensive definition of rape in it's criminal code compared to even many other Western countries, this makes crimes that are not registered as rape in say Spain appear as rapes in the Swedish statistics. In addition to this, rape is a crime where a very large portion of the cases go unreported (to a large extent due to shame), in Sweden and other Nordic countries women are more likely to report rapes, based on several factors from societal equality to trust in the justice system; hence the statistic of rapes per capita goes up decidedly.
These two factors make the statistics gathered from Sweden and South Africa completely incomparable. You would be hardpressed to draw any actual conclusions about the crimerates from these kinds of statistics even say between Sweden and Finland without looking into the methodology. So, next time when you make a decision to leave Sweden based on statistics, you might want to look a bit further into the science behind them.
I tried to link this article in the commentary-section of the swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, since they are pickin cherrys from your article-series about scandinavia.
Two times it has been deleted even though I didn't break any rules concerning commentary.
Help us! Swedish establishment has gone North Korea-style on it's own people.
True indeed. I just mentioned this article in a comment field in the newspaper SvD (claimed to be right-wing). The comment was deleted. In Sweden all mainstream media is left wing and pro "multiculturalism". However, the politically correct journalists and politicians never live themselves in the areas that have been "culturally enriched" by mass immigration from the MENA region. They never send their teen age daughters to schools in these areas. Wonder why?
The left are always the most severe censors. Here in the US, we have a left wing internet news rag called the Huffington Post. Most of my comments never see the light of day, even though none of them bread their comment rules. One can only conclude that the comment goes against the Huffpo's left wing narrative and sensibilities.
I had the same experience thinking it was their right of center sensibilty
Call Interaktiv Säkerhet and complain. In at least 50% of the cases they restore the deleted comments "Oops, that was a mistake". Well, why have all such mistakes a clear bias?
Sweden is on the brink of total ruin, in my city Gothenburg it has escalated so quickly last 10 years. In my area there are 99% whites but in some parts of the city there are 99% none-whites... INSANE! All my time in school up to 9th grade there were no immigrants in the school. When I left my last school at 12th grade it was 50/50 immigrants/swedes in the class that started 10th that year... This is GENOCIDE!
It seems that most commenters here from Sweden are voters of the Sweden Democrats Party (the nationalist party in the parliament). From the numbers of comments you might even believe that they are in majority. Luckily for Sweden, they are not. I know my workplace at least would be avery dull place without my non-swedish co-workers. For me it is obvious that we should try to help people in need, while also finding mechanisms that make our immigrants economically productive in our society. It is about finding mechanisms that can resolve tensions between partially conflicting needs of the society. That is what pragmatic politics is all about.
and while you find out what this mechanism is, and make it work for all those foreigners that have already come.
Can you please turn the floodgates of so all the problems dont get any worse than they have already gotten?
Swedens immigration policys and volume is insane, and more and more Swedes are waking up to this thanks to the freedom of the internet. There is nothing different about this commentaryfield and all the others ive seen discussing immigration. Even if its yet only 10-14% of swedes who say they will vote Sweden democrats. about 50% agree that they have the best politics for immigration.
and my workplace would also be more dull without foreigners, infact my life would be more dull since my girlfriend is chinese and many of my friends are foreigners.
To bring things like this up is a nonsensical argument, this still dont make me want to watch sweden destroy itself with too much immigration of people who can never contribute and who, if they get too many, will change what sweden is in directions natural swedes and assimilated swedes dont want.
Whole cities is being abondoned by ethnic swedes, crime is exploding. You and your likes are welcome to help in trying to solve this, but the rational people among us realise that atleast the problematic immigration types(next of kin and asylum) needs to be stopped immediately and the whole system remade.
I don´t think the big majority has issues regarding people who works or study here. The problem is in Swedens biggest cities where crime rate is increasing in 1000 of percents since the seventies. Yes, native swedes commites crimes but the invading hordes are the big reason behind increasing crimerate. And this is facts. Take Malmoe for example, it should be the crown if you were correct. You are not. Since Malmoe wouldnt exist without government help. It´s drowning and and you are a "useful idiot" for the government. Democracy and freespeech is almost on "China level". Our journalists are lying and hiding truths, our politicans lie. Thank god for the internet, but the politicans and journalist wants to shut down and stop people from realizing the truth. All in the name of "stopping spreading hatred". So, how many elderlings must lie in their own feces and how many raped women is ok for you to have a nice workplace? That you pretend to understand politics is just outrageous.
You are wrong. The latest YouGov poll shows that 75 percent of Swedish voters think that SD has the best immigration policy. As usual, Swedish mainstream media suppresses any news that contradicts the Politically Correct establishment's hegemony. This YouGov poll has never been mentioned once in Swedish mainstream media
Unfortunately, the way we're currently "helping" them is a lose-lose-lose situation; it's bad for Sweden, it's bad for the immigrants and it's bad for their home countries. But why would you care about facts and rational arguments?
The majority of politicians in Sweden (and indeed of Swedes in general) are so absurdly out of whack that being sane and well-informed in this country is like being Charlton Heston on the planet of the apes. I'm honestly not sure what's worst; being brainwashed and ignorant or being well-informed knowing there is nothing you can do to stop this insanity.
The idi!#s voting for the marxist democrats and liberals are the zombie voters. They have no awareness of what society is like, either they're too daft to see it or are living their sheltered lives on the top shelf of society with their "celebrity" neighbours.
My neighborhood went from being 80 or 90 percent Swedish to 60/70 percent just this year thanks to Southern and Eastern Europeans migrating here.
They are decent people but they don't speak my language, they don't respect societal norms (they throw trash onto the street instead of into bins, they don't clean up after using public areas etc).
European immigrants are not as bad as the Africans and Middle Easterners. They leave a public restroom resembling a battlefield. The stench of feces is simply too much. You wonder how human beings can behave like this.
You can't find low skilled jobs anymore since the government pays employers to employ immigrants instead of Swedes. As a student this is a bad thing. Newly arrived Somali immigrants are fairing better economically than I am.
Authorities are shutting down retirement homes and channels the money to luxury housing that are reserved to immigrants.
The military is on the verge of collapse. It is so poorly funded that they're using equipment from the cold war era. Swedish citizens are more or less left defenseless.
The retirement age is constantly being delayed since the pension system is underfunded. Taxes that should be saved for pensions are being spent on immigrants instead.
Swedish PISA-scores are collapsing. We went from being at the top to being below average. We are now being outrun by countries such as Hungary, Slovenia and Poland.
The people that are migrating to Sweden now are our executioners. Nobody will welcome Swedes in the numbers that we have welcomed immigrants in the past 20-30 years. We have impoverished ourselves and there's nowhere left to run.
Interesting and sad that we Swedes can only read these facts in foreign media, like here. Neither our own pathetic super PC journalists, nore our oikophobic politicians dare speaking the truth about the failed massimmigration experiment.
Maybe our declining nation can serve as a warning to other countries in that they avoid the path towards third world ghettoisation and skyrocketing criminality.
This article had been censored/not published here in sweden. We are currently living in an Orwellian nightmare, newspeak ("immigration will save the jobs, the pensions and the economy")and cover-ups is the new swedish media guideline. Thank You Economist for making it harder for the swedish politicians to hide the truth about the mass-immigration.
As a Swedish native citizen it's sad that I have to read foreign newspapers to have facts about the catastrophic situation in my country.
The 'political correctness' of the official Sweden is in every way trying to muzzle these huge problems caused by the totally over-dimensioned and naive mass-immigration of people from the MENA region.
Every questioning of this disaster is replied by media, government and authorities as 'racism', 'xenophobia' or 'intolerance'. This censorship of the free spoken word has taken such a level that people don't dare to questioning this insanity at all - by fear of their careers, social status or being attacked by the ultra-left activists spraying swastikas on their doors.
Therefor 75% - almost all of the native, taxpaying Swedes will be silent - and see this dramatic demolition of the Swedish society accelerate.
The democracy in Sweden is under attack. Although, one party is against this stupidity - The Sweden Democrats - which in just a few years has became Sweden's third biggest party - with an totally opposite agenda to the other parties that still wants to continue the catastrophic social experiment of further mass-immigration.
This is actually a scream of help to the rest of the world - please help us - we taxpayers in Sweden can not stand anymore to act a "social agency" for all the MENA people flooding this country in order to receive the benefits of the welfare-state. No one will ever listen to this scream of help in my homeland...
Dear David,
In your reasoning you compare immigration to a catastrophe, but you should open your mind in this issue. Few countries in the world are as heterogeneous as USA, and the strenght of American economy lies exactly in the country's ability to transform immigrants in full citizens and taxpayers. Pay atention to the law-project that president Barak Obama proposed this week conceding amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants that are living in USA right now. Maybe the amount of people to be benefited with this policy is equivalent to the whole population of Sweden! Do you see any catastrophe in USA? Quite the contrary! There are other countries like Brazil prospering with succesful immigration policy. Instead of giving itself as an victim of Swedish immigration policies, you'd better search for psychoanalitical help to purge the many intolerant "demons" that lies inside yourself.
There is one dramatic difference between Sweden and USA. As an immigrant (refugee) you have full access to the welfare-system. Free healthcare, economical subsidy for almost everything, free housing, free public communications, free school, free language education - you do even have it "retroactive" - a newly arrived Somali mother of 3 children will have appr 37.000 USD as "starting capital".
Who do you think are paying for all this stupidity? And what do you think the drivers for these immigrants really are to get into the society and the job sector at all? It drops down around 5000 USD for a normal immigrant family in the postbox every month anyway...and free housing.
So - who are the winners of this social experiment? Of course, the illiterate "refugees" that has been attracted by life long economic support - and the illegal syndicates that are doing big business on smuggling this people to the land of milk and honey.
Billions and billions have been put into numerous projects and support activities with the aim to transform these immigrants to full citizens and taxpayers - and the results is getting poorer and poorer...
So, the basis for a successful integration of these people with dramatic different culture than the Western/Scandinavian way of living is more or less ludicrous/absurd. The believing of this bizarre system are only in the head of the politicians/media representatives.
Yes, the system is absurd. Yes, this will cause a breakdown of the Swedish welfare state. Yes, I would really like a similar system/approach like in USA - where the responsibility to succeed in the new country is on the immigrant - not the state. The Swedish way of integration is just a collapse without any needed incentives from the immigrant.
...and I am paying for it. What do I get for the money? Failing healthcare, failing infrastructure, failing military forces, failing everything... and the thanks from the immigrants are crime, riots, contempt and isolation.
No I am not happy about the situation.
Sweden is a small country and the amount of immigrants we have recevied during the last year is equal to about 3 million immigrants in the USA. All receving full benefits equal or exceeding the amount ordinary swedish citizen gets.
All getting free apartments and in some case even free houses...
And they will get this the rest of their life...
Do you see the problem?
America benefits from talented skilled immigrants, which are the minority. The majority of immigrants, however, are poor and remain poor even after several generations, where they congregate in dysfunctional neighborhoods. California has gone in 30 years from an economic leader to a basket case due in large part to the Mexicanization of California. Still America does less badly with its immigrants than Sweden because of the Swedish welfare state. In America people are more likely to work because the government may not take care of them like they will in Sweden. The welfare system only works in Sweden when people don´t abuse it, but the third world immigrants are only too happy to do so. They come from cultures where it is every man for himself, and dishonesty is an art form.
There is a world of difference between people who come to the US to find jobs and "refugees" flocking to Sweden because of its insanely generous welfare state. Why didn't the Somalis seek asylum in an African nation or a Muslim one, rather than an utterly alien northern one? Could it be possible that they would have had to work for a living in the former whereas in Sweden they are treated like royalty and expected to do nothing in return? For so-called refugees to riot against the state that feeds, clothes and houses them is ingratitude at its worst. They refuse to assimilate, but have no compunction against taking the state for all they can grab. I'm on Mr Swe's side: there's a point where generosity becomes insanity.
Dear Sincere Man,
Immigration to Sweden is a disaster and will ultimately lead to the demise of the Swedish welfare state. The UN Human Development Index prognosis for Sweden is a major drop from 5th in 2007 to 45th right after Libya in 2030, Sweden fall to the level of an underdeveloped country. The only reason for this drop is mass immigration from Africa and the Middle East.
Unemployment, ghettoization, Islamisation, honor cultures/crimes, disease, pests, massive crime wave, rapes, fraud, garbage, over consumption of health services and a bleeding welfare system. Considering these facts, how can you state that we should embrace mass immigration? It is ruining our country!
If the US had the same level of mass immigration as Sweden the figure would be much higher than 3 millions. Before the uncontrolled mass immigration started in Sweden around 1980 the population was 8 millions. Today with 2 million immigrants since 1980 and low nativity among ethnic Swedes the population is almost 10 millions.
Immigration IS a major catastrophy in Sweden today! Swedes at their heart want Sweden to stay swedish.
The gap between the massmedia owners and their lying cadre of marxist or ultraliberal journalists is widening by the day!
The constant lying to the ordinary swedish citizen about the swedish immigration catastrophy is undermining the very core of democracy.
Nowadays the media monopoly is broken by the internet, giving anyone a way to voice their opinion or revealing the lies that is dished out daily through old school media and public service channels.
Swedes have been made to belive that immigrants are refugees when in fact less than 5% have legitimate reasons to claim asylum.
ANYONE protesting this is labeled as a racist, nazi and risk losing jobs, being attacked by government sponsored extreme leftist hooligans etc.
Sweden today IS definitely on the wrong path that will lead to massive violence and destruction of this once fantastic nation.
Wow. If that's true then that would be like 25% of the population are foreign born. The number in the US per TE is 38 million, roughly 13-15%, though it feels higher where I live. The number of children with foreign born parents in our local elementary schools is close to 50%, mostly asian - Indian, Chinese, Korean...mostly parents working in high tech, not the welfare sucking kind from Mexico like in much of the souththern states, but they have other cultural issues.
The equivalent number for the US would be 75m. Imagine all of them being on welfare, that would drag down the country to 3rd world status in a hurry. The current number of 38m is already bad enough. Ethnoburbs in the East and West coasts and the South sometimes feel like foreign countries. The larger the immigrant number, the longer it takes to assimilate them. Third worlders bring with them 3rd world habits, from crimes to lack of respect for women to lack of civility and downright dishonesty. Mexicans are among the rudest people, now they dominate many fast food places. Forget about getting friendly service at your local Subway or McDonald's.
It's clear Sweden's current immigration level is unsustainable. In one generation Sweden as we know it will be bankrupt. What a sad day for a beautiful country. The huns and visigoths continue to bring down western empires...
Dear Sincere Man,
Comparing the US to good old Europe is inappropriate. America was founded on ethnic diversity from the beginning a couple of hundred years ago, Europe less so.
What turned America into a superpower by the 20th century was the influx of hard working, creative, skilled, educated white Europeans and European jews. Not people from MENA and not even people from the far east, with all due respect.
The big difference between the immigration policy of today's America and today's Western Europe is that Western Europe managed to pick up 95% of the unskilled migrants of the world turning itself into a thirld world cesspit, while America has picked up the vast majority of the skilled migrants.
Having said that, with the obama administration America is on the same insane leftist path of self-destruction founded on the ideology of the Frankfurt School as Western Europe.
Open your mind and watch less BBC and CNN.
yours sincerely,
Umm, actually there are several catastrophes playing out in the US right now, not the least of which are the federal deficit/debt crisis, the recession, fraying of social trust, and huge economic inequality. These have all been exacerbated by mass immigration to the US. Academic studies have demonstrated that social trust declines as ethnic heterogeneity increases, making individuals less likely to invest in the community and jeopardizing support for social programs (such studies have been performed in the US, Australia, and the EU). This is essentially what this article is pointing out, in a Swedish context. If Sweden continues to import large numbers of people from a vastly different cultural context, who are not particularly interested in becoming culturally Swedish, and who are far more likely to be unemployed/in prison/collecting benefits than the native population, then you will see Swedish social systems falter and a more individualistic mindset take hold as Swedes become reluctant to pay taxes to support a visibly different population of immigrants who are not contributing equally as tax-paying, law-abiding citizens.
Yes, I see a catastrophe in the USA. We have a surplus of unskilled labor. And yet we welcome even more unskilled laborers. Poverty is rampant in the US inner cities. You would not dare enter some neighborhoods without being armed. The immigrants today are not the legal immigrants of yesteryear. Immigrants from say Norway, Sweden, and Germany. Our economy is running on fumes and QE. We are collapsing under our own weight.
WOW are you for real? The US is a very dangerous country with crime levels 10x that of sweden and no moral values. In the US you don't even have free healthcare and it is very racially segregated, I see the US as a dystopia. In the Sweden of the 90's and earlier (the "before time") everyone was guarenteed a good life by the swedish state and the swedish people was the most healthy, educated and proud on earth perhaps!
If people need gins to protect themself you have a VERY sick society.
Dear Sincere man,
Perhaps you should do a little reading not only on Sweden but also on the US.
First of all, I find it rather amusing that you regard USA as a success; First of all, it abolished slavery 100 years after most European countries did, it didn't give black and white people equal rights until the sixties with huge differences in well-being persisting and it has left the middle class without increasing real incomes for over 30 years, not to mention that it created the current economic crisis and is exporting its economic problems by devaluating its currency (though the EU has recently picked up the stick in its creation of and refusal to solve the euro-crisis).
Second, the USA is a federation that has existed for little more than 200 years making it look more like an ongoing experiment rather than a proof-of-concept. In contrast, most European countries are nation-states based on more or less ethnical homogeneity that have existed far longer than the US. Sweden as an example has been a country for at least 800 years with more or less the same ethnical population for thousands of years. The claim that heterogeneous societies should be more successful runs contrary to all empirical data; in fact, ALL multi-ethnic empires in Europe have perished and instead become replaced by nation states.
Why is this important? Because the European welfare society is a completely different system from the US model, the former one being based on a strong sense of sharing in common ethnicity, culture and language providing a foundation of trust that is essential for the propensity to share with others. The reason why nation state welfare societies are so successful lies among other thing in the economies of scale; a nation cannot go bankrupt and is therefore the most secure mutual insurance company possible, while the entire population of a country is the ideal customer base. If you want to learn more about this concept I recommend reading e.g. "The ascent of money" by Niall Fergusson which includes a discussion on this.
Back to the point, the problem with immigration in European-style welfare societies is that when society becomes more heterogeneous, it leads to a decrease in trust and people become less willing to pay taxes that finance activities aimed at the common good. In US, with much less being of these activities financed by the government and much lower taxes imposed on its citizens, this is consequently a much smaller problem. Furthermore, US immigration policy is extremely restrictive in the amount of immigrants allowed and is based on cherry-picking the best and brightest, in stark contrast to the current immigration to Europe (and in particular Sweden) where most immigrants are poorly educated coming from countries where analphabetism is widespread and a culture very different from that of Europe.
Thus, even if immigration policies in Europe (and Sweden) were as restrictive as the US, they would still be less successful unless Europe also abandons the welfare model that has made the Nordic countries among the best possible to live in. Having such enormous differences between the desperately poor and the absurdly rich as the US has more than once in history lead to upheavals of rather dramatic proportions, and if there is no common foundation like belonging to the same ethnicity or culture there is nothing to provide the stitches that keep the fabric of society together.
California is not on your side as their population is now over 50% latino and just years before didnt Arnold even say they would need to build a Chinese wall to hold the illegals out.
46 millions on food stamps, 2 million incarcerated in prisons and you know the vast majority of people living in the projects are black folks. School shootings are so frequent they could be considered a cultural heritage of todays America.
In the last general election in Denmark was it the pro immigration pro reform fiscal responsible center party there won and obtained the decisive political power.
A primary reason for the fall of the previous government was it anti-immigration policies
Danish citizens are increasingly marrying foreigners as a direct result of globalisation
(young danes working or studying in other countries, internet giving increased communication across borders and so forth)
The latest poll gives the immigration critical Danish Peoples Party 17 percent of the voters, which is a new record. The next Danish government will certainly restrict immigration back to the low levels a few years ago.

'Ghost ship' off Canada heralds arrival of tsunami debris
SEATTLE, March 26 (Reuters) – An empty Japanese fishing boat
drifting off the coast of western Canada could be the first wave
of 1.5 million tons of debris heading toward North America from
Japan's tsunami last March.
The wreckage from flattened Japanese coastal towns -
including refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs
and fishing nets – is heading inexorably west across the Pacific
and could arrive sooner than expected, according to the U.S.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Wife of Afghan shooting suspect: how could this be?
SEATTLE/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The wife of the U.S. soldier suspected of gunning down 16 Afghan civilians broke her silence on Monday to say she did not know what happened half a world away, but felt for the families of the victims while loving her husband very much.
U.S. authorities say Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, 38, walked out of his camp in Kandahar province just over a week ago to kill the Afghans, including nine children, before turning himself in.
Afghan shooting suspect called to duty repeatedly
TACOMA, Washington (Reuters) – Robert Bales built a life around a call to arms. A call that emanated from the ashes of the World Trade Center in New York and took him to the mayhem of faraway Iraq and Afghanistan. A call he may have heard one time too many.
The 38-year-old U.S. Army staff sergeant suspected of gunning down 16 Afghan civilians, including nine children, had struggled to make financial ends meet and was disappointed at being sent back into a war zone for a fourth time rather than an easier posting in Germany or Hawaii.
Afghan shooting suspect called to duty again and again
TACOMA, Washington (Reuters) – Robert Bales built a life around a call to arms. A call that emanated from the ashes of the World Trade Center in New York and took him to the mayhem of faraway Iraq and Afghanistan. A call he may have heard one time too many.

Soldier suspected in Afghanistan massacre to huddle with lawyers
TACOMA, Washington (Reuters) – The lawyer representing the U.S. soldier implicated in the massacre of 16 villagers in Afghanistan said on Saturday he and other members of the defense team would spend several days with him in the week ahead.
U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales is in solitary confinement at a military detention center at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he arrived late on Friday.
U.S. troops numb, uncertain after Afghan massacre
LAKEWOOD, Washington (Reuters) – Around the home base of the American soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians there is a sense of dedication to a tough job, but stress from years of battle in repeated tours in the "sand box" of Iraq and Afghanistan is eating away at troops.
"A lot of the guys, especially those with a lot of deployments, have built up a numbness to people being killed or hurt," said one veteran of six tours abroad, including Iraq and Afghanistan, describing his own reaction to the weekend shooting. "The people who hate us are going to put a bad spin on us no matter what we do."
U.S. home base of Afghan massacre suspect scarred by scandals
TACOMA, Washington (Reuters) – Long before the U.S. soldier suspected of slaying 16 Afghan villagers was identified as an Army sergeant from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the installation had earned a reputation as the most troubled outpost in the U.S. military.
The Army station near Tacoma, Washington, has come under scrutiny as the home of several soldiers involved in wartime atrocities in 2010 and a base scarred by a record number of suicides last year. It has deployed troops repeatedly to Iraq, and late last year, sent soldiers to Afghanistan.
Former top Microsoft exec says world is over the PC
SEATTLE (Reuters) – Ray Ozzie, the man who succeeded Bill Gates as Microsoft Corp's tech visionary, believes the world has moved past the personal computer, potentially leaving behind the world's largest software company.
The PC, which was Microsoft's foundation and still determines the company's financial performance, has been nudged aside by powerful phones and tablets running Apple Inc and Google Inc software, the former Microsoft executive said.
Boeing exec: 787 long-term build rate on track
SEATTLE (Reuters) – Boeing Co will build 10 787 Dreamliners per month by the end of 2013, the head of the plane-maker's commercial airplanes division said on Friday, shrugging off industry concerns that a glitch in the fuselage will put the goal out of reach.
"It shouldn't," Jim Albaugh said on the sidelines of an event marking the 1,000th delivery of Boeing's widebody 777. Dubai-based Emirates Airline will receive the plane this month.

Parents in the Dark
Survey says parents underestimate risks of kid's alcohol/drug use
PLYMOUTH, Minn., March 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — As youth drug and alcohol abuse continues to grow, many parents say they are uninformed — and largely unconcerned — about the threat to their children.
So finds a new nationwide survey commissioned by the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, the nation's largest nonprofit addiction treatment provider.
"These startling findings suggest that some parents are under-concerned about the dangers of alcohol and other drug use by their children and are overly confident they would recognize signs of their children's use," said Audrey Klein, PhD, executive director of Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's Butler Center for Research. "This is particularly worrisome given the consequences of teen alcohol and other drug abuse — including poor performance in school, a higher rate of accidents, unintentional overdoses, violence, sexual trauma and legal issues — and, unfortunately in some cases, even death."
"Research has shown that parental involvement is an effective way to prevent chemical use and addiction among youth," continued Klein. "Yet this national survey revealed a remarkable lack of parental awareness and concern about this important issue." Among the key findings of the poll are:
-- Lack of concern by most parents. Nearly six in 10 (59.2%) parents of youth ages 12 to 24 say that they are not concerned about their children's possible use or abuse of alcohol or other drugs. This despite government surveys showing illicit drug use among teenagers remains high. -- Easy access to drugs and alcohol. One in four homes reports having prescription painkillers (opioids) in unlocked cabinets or accessible to their children. More than half of the homes surveyed (54.4%) have alcohol out in the open. -- False sense of knowledge. Even though almost eight in 10 (78.9%) parents think they have adequate education about child alcohol and other drug abuse, on average they could name only two warning signs out of 38 commonly known indications. -- Don't know where to turn for help. Approximately one in five parents (18%) admitted they did not know where to turn for help if their child is struggling with alcohol or drugs. One in five (20%) said they would seek out their primary care physician, yet most physicians are uncomfortable discussing alcohol and drug use with patients and feel unprepared to adequately diagnose addiction.
Most doctors lack training in identifying substance abuse. Less than 20 percent of primary care physicians consider themselves "very prepared to identify alcohol or drug dependence," compared to more than 80 percent who are very comfortable diagnosing hypertension and diabetes, according to the National Center on Substance Abuse at Columbia University.
Resources are available for parents to educate themselves on how to recognize signs of drug use and discuss the issue with their kids on the Hazelden webpage:
The survey of 2,454 parents in the United States was conducted by Q Market Research. Findings have a confidence interval of 95% and a margin of error of +/- 1.9%. For a copy of the report, "A matter of concern: Survey finds parents underestimate risks of alcohol or other drug use," please visit www.hazelden.org/youth.
In response to the need to help more young people, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation has expanded its gender-specific treatment facility for adolescents and young adults in Plymouth, Minnesota by 40 percent. In addition, the Foundation has added youth outpatient treatment programs and provides free recovery coaching for parents after their child has been discharged as well as a social community with support groups for parents.
About the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation
The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation helps people reclaim their lives from the disease of addiction. It is the nation's largest nonprofit treatment provider, with a legacy that began in 1949 and includes the 1982 founding of the Betty Ford Center. With 15 sites in California, Minnesota, Oregon, Illinois, New York, Florida, Massachusetts, Colorado and Texas, the Foundation offers recovery solutions nationwide and across the entire continuum of care for youth and adults. It includes the largest recovery publishing house in the country, a fully-accredited graduate school of addiction studies, an addiction research center, an education arm for medical professionals and a unique children's program, and is the nation's leader in advocacy and policy for treatment and recovery.

White Pearl Quartzite (In MA)
Hi All!
I know there are several members with White Pearl Quartzite installed in their kitchens.
Consensus on how they hold up? I tested a piece and got some staining with Tumeric and oil but nothing else penetrated. I have a piece tagged for a very long run of countertop, in a narrow kitchen.
The kitchen doesn't have abundant light. And has low ceilings... ;( hoping to brighten and warm up with creamy white shaker cabinets and glass doors. I do find the White Quartzite piece we tagged very cool in its tone.
I thought we might get a warmer feeling if it was honed. Any feedback greatly appreciated! I am holding the job up while I deliberate over this decision... Many thanks! LM
After very careful selection and templating, one of the two slabs of white pearl quartzite broke in the fabricators truck on the way to install!He will replace but anyone in MA know where we might find a new batch of white quartzite to check out? There are two small slabs from the same batch left at Elemar North, but I suspect they are the blotchy pieces I saw a few months ago. In the hopes of not getting further behind in our renovation, I am casting a wider net this time. Thanks! Linda
Hi, Linda, did you find and install the White Pearl Quartzite? I saw some at Elemar North today and really like it, but I want to know first if it will etch or stain. Thanks!
Here's the info. Fabricator was Leo Chantre, Stone Projects in Woburn. 781-939-9944. Sales person at Elemar was Bob Breton. He is a straight shooter. Easy to deal with. I visited the stone yard many times. Answered all my anxious questions. In the end, I didn't end up getting a second estimate from another fabricator. Battle weary from looking and renovation, I guess... I had priced out several other materials and then just went for this one.
Price. Gulp. We needed 44sq ft. Cut from from two slabs. (One very long run with two sinks). Total cost was approx. $6500. 00.
The white quartzite is bright and beautiful -- except for the slab breaking in transport from Leo's shop to my house--in my experience it's been a very low stress, maintenance free, counter surface.
(Bob and Leo worked very hard to provide as many choices to replace as they had...Leo might have a large piece left over at his shop from the huge slab that cracked and this could be very cost effective if you could work with. He bought that piece, as it were.) Bob Breton moved several more stones to Leo's shop, at his own expense, and we started all over with templating... It is a very hard but brittle stone. Not easy to work with for the fabricator!
Recommend eased edges to prevent any chipping. Worth the effort to find this stone. The countertop is my favorite part of our entire home renovation! (Ok, still dragging on in the basement, but thats another thread entirely.) Might take me a while to figure out how to upload photos or I can send to you via email if you are in more of a hurry. Let me know.

Sobha Naidu and her students reinvent the magic of 'Srikrishna Parijatham'.
Kuchipudi exponent Sobha Naidu and her team staged an absorbing ballet 'Srikrishna Parijatham' at Telugu University auditorium, last week. The late Bhujangaraya Sarma had penned this ballet originally for Vempati Chinna Satyam, culling out some parts from Narayana Teertha's 'Sri Krishna Leela Tarangini' and Siddhendra's 'Parijatham, in which 'Bhamakalapam' is a part. He added his own lyrics and prose to connect them all and make it into a consummate presentation.
It is a popular story narrating how and why Krishna, assisted by Narada, subdues Satyabhama's ego driving home to her the point that the Lord always accords more importance to Bhakti and total surrender to him. However the script has a prominent roel for Narada whose penchant creating problems andthereby quarrels , are explained in the 'Pravesa Daruvu'.
This type of script has many dramatic twists and turns, offering great scope for performers to give out their best. Sobha Naidu is born to play the role of Bhama. The sequences where Krishna arrives to pacify Satyabhama were a treat, especially her display of mixed reactions to the Krishna standing before her. This was one crucial scene where Sridevi Mungara as Srikrishna matched every move of her with that of Sobha Naidu as Bhama. The tantrums that Sobha showed were a mix of hidden love and expressive anger underlined by Bhama's jealousy for Rukmini, constantly directing him to go to Rukmini.
The scenes were punctuated with opportunities to present solo numbers like the way Bhama writing a letter to Krishna, a sequence we frequently see in 'Bhamakalapam'.
The entire drama stuck to Kuchipudi idiom, striking a balance between dance and drama. While Sobha predictably simply dominated the show Sridevi Mungara as Krishna, rightly kept herself in a low key matching the situation. The dance pairing Satyabhama with Srikrishna proved an interesting finale for the major part of the show and ended with a sequence with Rukmini brought into picture in the finale. Preethi Tatambhotla figured as sublime Rukmini. Nitya Subhaprada played the mischievous Narada convincingly.
The late Mullick and Dwaram Bhavanarayana provided music score. The ballet was presented to pre-recorded music with Maahankali Mohan providing Nattuvangam to the expressive vocal support of A. Kanna Rao, M. Krishnamohan, Nitya Santoshini and Swetha Prasad. P.R.C. Sarma on mridangam, K. Saikumar on violin, V. Nagaraju on veena and Jayakumar Acharya playing tabla and providing special effects.
Keywords: Sobha Naidu, Srikrishna Parijatham, Kuchipudi

Can someone identify this plant
I have a tropical flowering plant that is 14 years old. It has not been producing flowers for the last 6-7 years and the leaves started looking sickly, so in the winter I pruned it and it has indeed produced new growths. The other problem is that there are strange bumpy things on the leaves which are not insects and DO rub off, but after time they come back. My questions are, if I send you an image of the plant would you be able to identify it? and would you be able to tell me how to get rid of the things on the leaves.
The things on the leaves are scale (most likely). The usual treatment is light/perfect/summer/all-season (any one of these) horticultural oil. It's very effective at controlling scale, which has to be smothered or treated with a systemic, smothering being by far the least noxious and logical IPM choice. Mechanical removal and dabbing with alcohol ..... are very ineffective, as are most other home remedies.
For plant ID, may I suggest you look up Dori (Rhizo) or Toni (Hopefulauthor). Both are regulars and good at identifying most houseplants ..... or post a picture. That I suggested those 2 doesn't mean others aren't also skilled, they're just the 2 regulars that came to mind as likely to be able to help.

How is that a special project? That's simply an archiving. I wouldn't consider the Library at Alexandria a technological marvel. (The Pyramids, maybe...but the methodologies used, more...)

Ugh, neat little tie-ins....well, even still, that would specifically fall under the DTI umbrella, wouldn't it?
I'm looking more for all those odd, wacky techs & concepts that Starfleet might've dicked about with in the that 20-year timeframe. I know the older novels are jam-packed with them, FASA had a couple things, & maybe some TOS items I'm just forgetting about. Things that they'd try & develop better or adapt for that better edge against the bumpy-headed nasties.
To put it simply (in deference to you, Kent), anything that might interest Starfleet's IPX division.
Be the chaos you wish to see in the world.

This was a small no frills park attached to a motel. The owner/manager was very friendly and accommodating. We had evacuated our rig storage site and home due to a forest fire and she charged us only 1/2 of normal rate. Most other parks in the area would not even consider such a benevolent approach. We encountered a wire problem with the 50 amp at our site but the thirty amp was OK. We camped at Arrowhead Motel and RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

Apache Hadoop
Hadoop, formally called Apache Hadoop, is an Apache Software Foundation project and open source software platform for scalable, distributed computing. Hadoop can provide fast and reliable analysis of both structured data and unstructured data. Given its capabilities to handle large data sets, it's often associated with the phrase big data.
Recommended Reading: What is Open Source software?
The Apache Hadoop software library is essentially a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large datasets across clusters of computers using a simple programming model. Hadoop can scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage.
The Apache Hadoop software library can detect and handle failures at the application layer, so it can deliver a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.
As listed on the The Apache Hadoop project Web site, the Apache Hadoop project includes a number of subprojects, including:

'Pushing Daisies' Alum Anna Friel to Star in NBC's 'Odyssey' (Exclusive)
"The Carrie Diaries" favorite Jake Robinson will co-star in the "Traffic"-like pilot from writer/executive producer Peter Horton.
NBC has found its leading lady for drama pilot Odyssey.
Pushing Daisies alum Anna Friel will star in the Traffic-like thriller from writer/executive producer Peter Horton, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, with The Carrie Diaries favorite Jake Robinson also boarding the project.
Odyssey centers on three families who are torn apart when a stranded female soldier, a disillusioned corporate attorney and a disrespected political activist are pulled into the same shocking international military conspiracy.
STORY: TV Pilots 2014: The Complete Guide
Friel, who most recently co-starred in Showtime's Kyle Chandler pilot The Vatican, will play Sgt. Odelle Ballard, a fierce leader who left her husband and child at home and is the only woman in the squad. Robinson, who recurs on The CW's sophomore drama as Walt's boyfriend Bennet, will play Harrison Wolcott, a member of a group of protesters against the G8 summit in New York. He's vehemently anti-capitalist and the son of a wealthy member of the financial elite. The character is destined to stumble upon a conspiracy and, in time, make real change in the world.
The Following's Adam Armus and Kay Foster will pen the script and executive produce alongside Horton, who will direct the pilot and pen episodes should the project move forward.
Friel's credits include Bryan Fuller's Pushing Daisies and features Limitless and Land of the Lost. She's repped by UTA and Ken McReddie Associates.
STORY: NBC Prepping 'Traffic'-Like Thriller Pilot
For Robinson -- who received a straight offer for the project without having to test, Odyssey is in first position to Carrie Diaries since he is not considered a series regular. Should Odyssey and Carrie both move forward, the actor hopes to be able to work on both. He's repped by Innovative and Laurie Smith at Smith Talent Group.

I upvoted your downvoted posts in the Dream General.
I have no idea why someone would downvote an accidental double post. It looks like one person started it and two others jumped on the bandwagon (your highest amount of downvotes on single post being 3; on the double post).
Maybe some people just really hate double posts. I got karmabombed for quadruple posting (among other reasons) in the Let's Write a Story thread once (I got RandomMan to remove said posts).

The owner of Sakli Konak was so friendly to offer us a room late in the night when almost everything was closed. We were totally suprised of the beauty and the comfort of this amazing hotel. The breakfast was the best we had during our trip in Turkey. Although the hotel doesn't have a view, the small city of Uchisar was for us the best choice to explore Cappadocia. The owner is glad to give you advice to discover this exciting area. - Anonymous
The decoration was like a small Ottoman museum that clearly the owner
took care of every detail. Breakfast was best at a great garden.view of
our room in the attic was superb. Fatima and staff were only to make our
stay great. - Anonymous
We stayed 4 nights in "Has Konak", an unforgettable hotel:
we had room nr. 4 and 5, each room has a wonderful view to the famous "pigeon valley" and to the "fairy chimneys", traditional decorated rooms, very clean, warm atmosphere, breakfast was marvelous with numerous kind, prepared with love.
The owners were genuinely hospitable and helpful, they have arranged our transfer from airport to our hotel and back to the airport.
They have also arranged our breathtaking hot air ballooning with a s - Brian
We really loved our Standard suite: lots of space in the room, big and very comfortable bed in alcove, couple of sofas, romantic lights and relaxing shower. Room service was excellent as well as breakfast. And of course fairy chimney view from our room was a plus. There is heating in the room, so you won't get cold. Although we've stayed at Goreme Suites in midMay and we used heating only once.
Bathroom is spacious as well. Hot water and clean towels are always available. No obnoxious smell.
Th - Anonymous
The owner was incredibly friendly, finding time to giving us a lift to and from the bus station, along with sitting down for a good hour discussing the possible options and routes we could take in touring Goreme. In terms of the accommodation, we were pleasantly surprised out how comfortable the room made us feel. With its unique design, cozy sofas/armchairs and lush bathroom, it was the perfect hotel to return to after a long and tiring day walking the tracks around the town. Offering extraord - Anonymous
1. Really friendly, polite and helpful owner Mr.Nazim and his family runs this beautiful cave hotel
2. Real cave rooms are tastefully decorated with period-style furniture and comfortable beds, one of the caves rooms even comes with a balcony and a lounge
3. The cave rooms of this wonderful family-run hotel are very clean, much better than those available in Goreme
4. The stone-arched rooms are very nice too, bright and sunny
Excellent location of the hotel: just 2 steps away from Urgup town - Anonymous
