I'm really afraid for President Obama
No one has mentioned this: Today, on Martin Luther King Day, President Obama is being inaugurated. There is storm over his intentions to regulate automatic weapons. People have threatened violence over this.
I worry about the wackadoos in the crowd that are ready to kill him. Because of the articulated deep hatred for him, I've always worried about him. Some people who consider themselves "patriots" would be proud of such an act.
I have to admit the thought of the President and First Lady getting out of that limo worries me. Last inauguration I gasped when they got out to walk down the street.
Its just so sad that we even need to worry about his safety and the safety of his family. Why? How can there be so much hate and resulting fear?
It just makes me so sad.
But those bad people are around for every president, all the time. There is hate towards all of them. I don't see that this is any more a time for worry than any other. Rest easy and enjoy a more momentous day than before. Who would've thought we'd come so far in a short time? We have a long way to go.
Son said, you Dr. King is saying, Now that's what I was talking about!
Just be joyous. They have it covered as well as they can.
I don't want to minimize your assertions, rob, but this mixed race president is, by that very fact, more vulnerable than most to the haters in this country. It's during this administration that gun sales have gone through the roof. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but everything I read and see shows that Obama's election drove people in droves to gun stores and gun shows. Yes, I fear for him far more than I have feared for his predecessors.
I thought the same thing. WIth a crowd like that, what a way to make a statement, and not just from the gun crowd, or right wing loons. From outside terrorists, as well. From the right wing side, it'd be the dumbest thing they ever did. You can BET that guns would be all but history at that point, and that Obama would then be made a martyr, which sickens me just to think about.
The Secret service know where he plans to get out of the car. I have more fear for the poor soul that is standing beside the stupid parrot.
Wasn't there a discussion about innocent people being killed when the drones hone in on the target. It will be "Go Ahead Make My Day" for the idiot with that plan.
I believe they went out in droves to buy guns was to get them while they still existed. It wasn't to use them on him. Not that I am diminishing what you said, it's just that's what I kept hearing. So you can balance it with that thought. I have seen a lot of hate towards a lot of presidents. Maybe y'all aren't running in the same circles, but there is hate directed at Washington, DC in general. Do I think people will act on it? Not from the "normal" hating people. But I don't think it's any more than usual. Just me evidently. I've seen such hate from this group. It's directed at all sorts of things. Maybe it has been voiced just as loudly, just not on as a public forum as this is.
I didn't say that the uptick in gun sales meant that Obama was the direct target. Bu the uptick was certainly aimed at the fear that this president would somehow be able to come into your house and take your guns out of your hand. I don't think there is a single explanation for this phenomenon.
I agree with Bill that the very worst thing a right-wing person or terrorist or even just a wackadoo attempted to murder the president, gun legislation would be a shoo-in. I also think that while Obama could be made a martyr were he killed, there are plenty of folks out there who would cheer for his murderer and dance on his grave. I know that hate is directed toward D.C. in general, but it's also true that for some people, this particular president is the focus of much of that hate.
As I said, the matter is complicated and nuanced. Let us hope that today is uneventful in terms of any disturbances. I'm watching the presidential limo carrying the president to the Capital right now--an historical moment.
the left sure has a thing about gun owners fearing confiscation. It doesnt matter that fear of confiscation is mostly non existant. But as with all the other anti gun crap, keep repeatimng it and others of your kind might believe it.
There are lots of reasons to be buying up guns stuff. Investment, get before a ban, get before demand escalates prices, been gonna get one now seems like the time.
seems to me most hate derives from the left, from the right, disgust.
the left sure has a thing about gun owners fearing confiscation. It doesnt matter that fear of confiscation is mostly non existant.
Well, listening to the speakers at the pro-gun rallies this past weekend, that was a major theme. Any, ANY legislation was the first step in a process that would lead to total confiscation.
What sickens you ,Bill? The thought Obama could be killed or that the right wing loonies would get a bad reputation and he would be a martyr?
FF.. hate from the left , disgust from the right. You got that ass backward..The whack jobs are all yours. Be proud. The country is behind Obama. Is Romney up there today taking the oath. NO
Is Romney up there today taking the oath. NO
Thank you for that reminder!
And thank goodness!
It is a good day today, and we have some hope for the future. Unlike if the election had gone the other way. What a disaster that would have been. It does remind me to have some faith in my fellow human being. Much needed because some days reading the stuff here can really get one depressed. Today reminds me they are the minority and there is hope.
the left sure has a thing about gun owners fearing confiscation
You do not read this forum then, because that is all we have been hearing/reading endlessly from gun owners that post here. They are the ones that claim "Obama is coming for their guns".
The left is assuring them that the black boots are not coming to knock down their door and there is no reason for "a last stand". They do not believe us.
The Secret Service do the best job they can protecting the President. If it weren't for them, Reagan would have died... not just been wounded. They can't always throw themselves into the path of an oncoming bullet, given travel speed and the unknown trajectory.
While I'm not afraid that the President will be shot, I wouldn't put it past the illogical, disrespectful, entitled, and unhinged segment of our population to try.
I've been worried about this threat ever since Obama was first elected. It sickens me the incredible hatred aimed at him from all parts of this nation.I don't recall anything like that before, even when Carter was President. I fear a home grown terrorist with guns far more than Al Quaida, in Washington DC.
thank god it was not Romney taking the oath up there....
I actually feared for his life during the campaign in 2008, long before he was elected and sworn in. I said to my DH at the time that if I were Michelle, I would have done everything I could to talk him out of running. Too many crazies in this country.

Ultimately, an eating disorder is just an educational interruption in your "regularly scheduled programming," which, of course, is the unfolding of your own wonderful, worthwhile life. Keep this understanding at the forefront of your awareness, and, while you are undergoing treatment, set your body, mind, heart, and spirit to do the very thing your eating disorder tells you that you cannot do . . . because you can! -Quote from " Beating Ana "
Change is difficult for EVERYBODY. Whether the person undergoing change has an eating disorder or not, they will still feel stress, anxiety, maybe even depression or fear. Even good change can create these types of feelings. This is why it is so important not to blame yourself or think that Ed is causing these reactions. This is called being human. Eating disorder or no eating disorder, change causes, well, change.
So be especially wary of Ed's manipulativeness when there is a higher than normal amount of change occurring in your life. Ed will always set himself up as the go-to change management agent – but will never serve you well.
How can you start to support yourself during periods of change in a way that doesn't allow Ed to participate?

We are a middle aged couple who have developed a growing desire to live somewhere else and to experience different cultures. Presently living in the Sierra Mts in Markleeville Ca, near South Lake Tahoe, we also spend time in Shelter Cove on the 'Lost Coast' of Northern California at what is no longer our primary home. While both these places are beautiful areas, we are beginning to feel cramped even in these once isolated places. Shelter Cove particularly has become an almost unbearable place to live full time since the passage of the Cal Medical Marijuana Law as virtually every other neighbor is now a major pot grower, quasi sanctioned now by both the state of California and the county of Humboldt's 'compassionate' allowance of 99 plants and 3 pounds (yes, I said pounds) of processed marijuana on each 'patient's' possession at any given time. After building our Dream Home in northern California, it is no longer the dream we had anticipated.
Anyway, as neither of these places any longer offer the peace and solitude we once enjoyed, we wish to try something different. In search of a place to relocate to, we have traveled to Panama 3X, Costa Rica 2X, Belize 1X, Asia 4X, Alaska 1X, Canada 2X, Mexico 2X in the last five years, among other travels. Until recently, we had been thinking that Panama or Costa Rica in Central America would be a great place to spend more time. After our first trip to Asia in late 2006 we are no longer as intent on relocating to Central America as we were and have now returned to Asia on two more occasions to explore possibilities of living there for an indefinite time. Perhaps there is no ideal place for us to relocate to. Perhaps we are just meant to travel now.
In 2008 we returned to Asia for 6 weeks in April/May. Visiting Hong Kong, Macau, Bangkok, Saigon, Nha Trang, Hanoi, Sapa, Dien Bien Phu, Luang Prabang, Vientiane, Udon Thani, Myanmar, Guilin, Yangshuo, and Bejing with 11 flights, 3 overnight train trips, 2 day train trips, 1 boat trip, and numerous 'locals' buses, ferries, motorbikes and taxis. Most exhausting.
In Oct/Nov we took a 11 night Mexican Riviera Cruise out of San Francisco aboard the NCL Sun, visiting Mazatlan, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Zihuatanejo, and Cabo San Lucas, a great time at a price so incredibly low, we had to go.
2009 Travel

2012 Travel Plans
Finally back to Vietnam for 2 months in late January. Chiang Mai, Phuket and Malasia
Europe in Sept/Oct for 3 weeks. Germany, Krakow Poland, Venice Italy, possibly Sardonia.
2013 Travel Plans
April - May - China - On this visit to China we plan to visit Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China, then fly to Tibet, travel to Everest Base Camp and then travel Lhasa - Beijing by way of the new high altitude, oxygen equipped train that started running in mid 2006. We would like to visit Dali, Kunming, Leaping Tiger Gorge, and areas surrounding Chengdu while in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces.
We enjoy cruising and have been on 6 cruises in the last 6 years. Our Asian and South American cruises of 16 days, left us feeling a bit burned out though. They were our longest cruises to date and to be honest, perhaps just a bit too long to be on a ship. We have cruised Asia, Alaska, the Mexican Riviera twice, South America, the Western Caribbean and Panama. We have cruised on Princess, Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian cruise lines. One of the great aspects of cruising is the variety of people you meet, both on and off the ship. Cruising also gives you the opportunity to experience multiple destinations and determine which you would possibly care to return to for a longer visit. Unfortunately, cruising allows for very little time in any given port, usually only a day and sometimes only a few hours. This is the biggest downside to cruising for us, the other being the most often very disappointing espresso. On the upside, you only unpack once, you can have room service every morning - free, and you don't have to lug your belongings with you everywhere you go when traveling to multiple destinations..

Coleman frequently composes for the group, as does Imani French horn player Jeff Scott. Adam says having in-house composers has helped to shape the group's repertoire, often noted for being nontraditional. ''A wind quintet has a reputation for being rather light and fluffy, sort of classical music's easy listening. That's not what we're here for. We're trying to take our performances beyond that traditional wind quintet sound and yet keep the traditions of a wind quintet. Valerie and Jeff being composers and having us as guinea pigs, they've really expanded that range. They don't write what's expected for a wind quintet; they write what they want to hear. They do nontraditional things. It's beyond what you might think a clarinet can do; it's very soulful music with a lot of virtuosity and a lot of technical charge.''

Quiet and beautiful-downtown near Landing.Posted Dec 30, 2014
I would stay here again. Very peaceful. Similar to a Bed/Breakfast. The bathroom was a little small, but very clean. I enjoyed the historic value of the property. I would recommend getting a room upstairs or toward the back. Each room is different. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. You will enjoy this if you want quiet and not a party place.

Perfectly Lovely and Charming Historical Hotel!Posted Dec 23, 2014 on Hotels.com
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. This is a beautiful hotel full of rich history, beautiful period decor, and a wonderful cozy atmosphere. We were treated as if we were their only special guests. Everyone is very nice, and goes above board too accommodate all of your needs. The room and bathroom was very clean and smelled nice. It did not smell like a hotel room at all. Our room had a nice view of the little garden on the west side of the house. The rooms are cool, which is very nice if you happen to be a little warm blooded, but if you need it to be warmer a small heater is provided in each room that warms it up very quickly and effectively. There is plenty of hot water. Nice amenities that come with each room. All three days we were there the weather was very cloudy, dreary, cold, and wet, but inside was very cozy, warm, dry, and pleasant. We parked our car, and walked to the Landing and through the downtown. You don't have to drive around very much. There is plenty to see and do all around where the hotel is situated. We will absolutely stay here again. I highly recommend this hotel! If you enjoy history, then you will like the history behind this hotel. One of the more famous of the guests who stayed here, is Harold Bell Wright. He and his wife stayed here often.

Very nice but small pricy roomPosted Sep 2, 2014 on Hotels.com
The Branson Hotel is a very quaint and well maintained facility with an interesting history. The room we had, the Quiet Quilt, was very clean and nicely appointed but smallish which is understandable given the age of the hotel. The room faced a very busy street but suprisingly was relatively quiet, most of the noise came from the wine bar-club and the entertainment during the evening but still not overly noisy. It is conveniently located, within a short walk of the old Branson downtown which we really enjoyed with small mom and pop shops. If you want to go to Branson Landing there is a free shuttle bus provided by the town. We really enjoyed our stay, the only small downside is that the hotel was a little over price, but the place is very nice a the staf very friendly and helpful.

The ranking/comments for this hotel are justifiedPosted Aug 11, 2014
Pros: Super hospitality; short walking distance to The Landing; the bar is inviting; outside patio is nice for music-----but they allow smoking. AAAARG!
Cons: The front desk closes at 8pm and bar at 10pm (Friday) When I went to bed the pillows were too soft but it was 11pm so too late to get assistance.
Location: Very convenient to The Landing if you want to walk. About three blocks I think.
This was a great find that I came across while looking for a room at one of the Hilton hotels nearby. They were both booked, and even if they hadn't been, they were much more expensive. We wanted to stay near The Landing so your choices are limited. The reviews were incredibly positive so my wife and I and another couple decided to book a Friday for a motorcycle trip we were taking. When we rolled up on the property we were a little surprised that it was right on the main drag. We were a little tired from riding in 90 degree heat, but the staff was extremely kind and hospitable as we checked in. Our friends had a king room downstairs, and my wife and I had one in the top front. If you have ever stayed in a British B&B that has a bar in it, this was very reminiscent to me and has a great atmosphere as well as charm. We were shown our rooms, pretty much everything was explained, and we also received a card for 2 complimentary drinks downstairs. The rooms are ample, and the bathrooms very clean and modern so you get the charm of an Inn but it doesn't feel run down. Beds are very comfortable. If you stay in the front, be prepared for road noise that is inconsistent so it can be difficult if you are a light sleeper. I didn't find the white noise machine much help over the occasional screeching tires which seems worse late into the night because it is quiet otherwise. Not the hotels fault, but...

Nice and quaintPosted Jul 28, 2014
Pros: Looks, feel, quaintness
Cons: Water tends to heat and cool quickly.
Location: Right in the heart of the downtown area, lots to walk to.
We stayed one night in the Notebook Room, and we found it to be very nice. The amenities were as advertised, and the stay was pleasant and quiet. The hotel staff was friendly as well.

Customer Reviews
Ok. No in-app upgrade to Pro, and this version does NOT track both domestic and international usage
I bought this because I wanted to know my data stats when I am overseas since my carrier only gives me 800MB. It wasn't until I bought it that I found out this version only tracks ALL data usage, not domestic vs international. For that you need to buy the Pro version.
I think this is deceptive but also unnecessary. Just put all functionality into the $2 version and call it a day. Or provide an upgrade coupon to go from regular to pro. Now instead of just buying pro for $6 I would need to spend a total of $8 for both. Or just make an in-app upgrade! Why isn't that an option?
So frustrating. I hate when developers nickel and dime us like this. The right solution is to sell DataMan for $1 and then allow in-app upgrade to more advanced functionality. Lame.
Great, simple, no clutter, no ads. Does the job well and displays it beautifully :)
However, I seem to not be getting notifications when my data is at certain percentages. It notifies me with a pop up when I actually open the app. We'll obviously I already know what % it is cause I already opened the pop up. It'd be nice if it was an actual push notification though.
Needs More Functionality
The so itself does exactly what it says it does, in a clear manner. I've used it the last month to make sure I don't use more data on my family plan; this is the first month we haven't gotten a 75% usage warning. The app really does keep me in line with my data.
As such, I wish it could tell me which apps or even notifications are using the most data. This way I don't have to go deep into the Apple settings to find out. I want it all in one place.

Well, here my rule of thumb...I think one should set up two PCs one with sensitive data on it which would NOT connect to the outside world except within inside a corporate network. In addition, not to allow ANY kind of USB sticks, DVDs on that PC and I would disable USBStore. And use full HDD encryption.One PC, for general use.
Good idea, provided everyone has 2 PCs.
Well I think the problem with that article is that they missed/ignored the most important factor--the humans.The assumption is that hardware/software, by itself, is sufficient to stop all exploits. It's not and never will be.If users click on unsolicited links in email, visit unsafe sites, and so on the chances are malware will get through. That's why "social engineering" techniques are used so often--they work because people do stuff even when they know they shouldn't.
The only way to guarantee that won't happen is to physically disconnect from the net.Disconnecting doesn't necessarily mean a call home won't occur on reconnection but it can & should be considered as a legit security layer.
Human is the most important part of security. Computers are made to obey them, at the end... Thus, education, how to run them safely, is the key.
The thread title reminded me of this recent thread 'how to ensure PDF file viewing does not "call home"' where firewall rules were often mentioned as a cure/fix.Firewall rules will often prevent a call home function but it's not guaranteed.It's just a layer.
For those extremely paranoid or concerned a dedicated PC that never has any network connectivity is a given.
1. They make people complacent .. hey we have a virus scanner so I don't have to worry about running this attachment or this thing I downloaded from screen savers r'us.

Yellow-billed ducklings and their mother in an urban pool. The Yellow-billed duck (Anas undulata) is a dabbling duck which is not migratory and resident of Southern and Eastern Africa. They are members of the dabbling ducks which feed on plant matter at the surface rather than by diving. Compared to other types of duck, these have their legs placed at the center of their bodies and therefore walk well on land.

Dr. Jeffrey Hayden, Galesburg chiropractor, offers members of the community the care that is needed to recover safely and quickly from slip-and-fall injuries. The doctor uses a whole body approach to care that addresses the root cause of the pain and gives patients the ability to function with minimal pain while their body is healing.
Galesburg Chiropractor, Dr. Jeffrey Hayden, Helps Locals Involved With Slip And Fall Injuries Galesburg, IL, 11-NOV-2011: Dr. Jeffrey Hayden, Galesburg chiropractor has been recognized for his success in providing members of the community with the safe and natural care needed to heal more quickly from slip-and- fall injuries. The doctor uses chiropractic care and other therapies to assure that patients get relief from pain and are able to function effectively and with minimal discomfort while they are healing. When interviewed recently Dr. Hayden stated, "When people suffer from slips and falls they often experience debilitating pain and stiffness. In many cases, these individuals find it very difficult to move or focus on anything but their injury. They are unable to participate in normal activities. It can often take several weeks for this type of injury to subside enough to allow for a return to limited mobility and re-injury often occurs very easily. I focus my practice on providing the care that is needed to help the body heal quickly and improve the patient's ability to return to their regular activities more easily." A slip or fall injury often results in other areas of the body being damaged. An individual may suffer from sprains, strains, and damage to the extremities as well as the neck, shoulders, and spine. The doctor takes x-rays to identify any discs that have been compressed or misaligned as a result of the injury. In addition, he conducts tests to determine the flexibility and mobility of the individual and performs a physical exam to identify visible injuries such as swelling or bruising. After analyzing the results of testing, the doctor will address the immediate issues to relieve pain and swelling. This will include gentle, low-force manipulation of misaligned discs to relieve pressure from nerves being pinched. The doctor will also utilize other therapies such as massage and hot/cold therapy to stimulate circulation and healing to the damaged areas. To get more information about how Dr. Jeffrey Hayden, Galesburg chiropractor, helps locals who have been involved in slips or falls heal safely, naturally, and quickly, visit http://www.DoctorHayden.com today. Anyone wishing to get more details about this press release will find contact information below. Dr. Jeffrey L. Hayden, D. C. Hayden Chiropractic 1174 N. Seminary St. Galesburg, IL 61401 Telephone (309) 344 4988 E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Website: http://www.DoctorHayden.com

Pick five of your favorite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them!
2. The Mary Tyler Moore Show
3. The Dick van Dyke Show
4. Homicide: Life on the Street
5. The Twilight Zone
01. Who's your favorite character in 2?
Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White), who came across as very sweet, but who in fact was incredibly nasty.
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1?
Klinger (Jamie Farr), after he gave up the dresses. He used to be a one-trick pony, but then became a no-trick pony.
03. What's your favorite episode of 4?
Requiem for Adena. "Pembleton and Bayliss have to deal with the body of a young girl who was assaulted and killed, bring back memories of the Adena Watson case. The reflection on the old case dredges up bad memories and bad feelings which they try to put behind them." Here's a full episode guide for this great show, that was written by the guy who later wrote The Wire.
04. What's your favorite season of 5?
It was so long ago...not the first season and not the last. Probably Season Three. An episode guide.
05. Who is your favorite ship in 3?
The Alan Brady Show. (What does this question mean?)
06. Who is your anti-ship in 2?
Ted Baxter (ditto).
07. How long have you watched 1?
I watched virtually every show from the first eight seasons twice each, but the last three seasons only once each. Occasionally catch a rerun now.
08. How did you become interested in 3?
It was just there. But I admit to being fascinated by Laura Petrie's (Mary Tyler Moore) capri pants.
09. Who's your favorite actor/actress in 4?
Andre Braugher as Det. Francis Xavier "Frank" Pembleton
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1, 2 or 5?
Well, I love them all, obviously. But the hometown connection forces me to pick TZ.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?
M*A*S*H, but only because it ran six seasons longer.
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
Richard Belzer as Det. John Munch, who's been on about a half dozen different shows as the same character.
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1?
Hawkeye commits suicide trying to stop the war.
14. Give a random quote from 1.
"It's nice to be nice to the nice." Frank Burns. My wife and I STILL use this line.
15. Which character from 5 would be a good guest star on 2?
Well, since TZ is an anthology, plenty to pick from. How about the William Shatner character from Nightmare at 20,000 Feet first visiting WJM-TV, going crazy from listening to Ted. Ted could be what the Shatner character sees on the wing.
16. Would a 3/4 crossover work?
The Dick van Dyke Show and Homicide? I'm having a difficult time imagining it. Rob Sally, and Buddy go rogue, kill Alan and Mel...nah.
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
Staff Sgt. Luther Rizzo (G. W. Bailey) brought around by the patient Nurse Kellye (Kellye Nakahara)
18. Has 5 inspired you in any way?
Yes, to read a lot, to follow the career of Rod Serling, and to have pride in my hometown of Binghamton.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4?
Probably 2, only because there were more transitions in 4. Massive regular and recurring cast on Homicide.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5?
Well, van Dyke's was more melodic. TZ was more atmospheric. I guess the latter might be slightly more memorable to the current generation, but they're both great.
Oh, heck, might as well do this one, too.
1. What is your favorite Star Trek movie? (not including STXI)?
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, of course. It's the best Trek movie of the first five..
2. What is your favorite scene in STXI?
XI? Is that the new movie? Haven't seen it yet.
3. When were you first introduced to the Star Trek franchise?
My father watched it when it was on NBC 1966-69; I wasn't interested. Think I saw the CARTOON version, which I liked, then started watching the original series, by then in syndication.
4. Is there anything Star Trek around the room in which you're currently sitting?
No, actualloy. I thought I had an episode guide, but I'm not seeing it.
5. Vulcan ears are: A) cute, B) sexy, C) neither, D) both.
D. Both.
6. If you could be any other species than human in the Star Trek universe, you would be:
Vulcans. I know it's the obvious answer; there you go.
7. Which pet would you rather have: a sehlat or a tribble?
well, not the Tribbles.
8. Who might you cast in the role of reboot Nurse Chapel? Khan? Other reboot character?
Kate Beckinsale was the first person I thought of for Chapel; don't know why.
Khan I'd leave be.
9. Kirk and Spock are:
Brothers of different blood types.
10. If you could give any Star Trek character a chance to be captain of the Enterprise?
BONUS. Think fast! Give one Star Trek quote from memory.
"Please, Spock, do me a favor... and don't say it's `fascinating' -- Dr. McCoy

I so stole this meme. M*A*S*H* I used to watch, the dubbed German version is actually almost as good as the original, surprisingly.

Being English, I guess, I'm not familiar with most of those shows, but I did see a few Twilight Zones, back in the day. And interestingly, when I think of TZ, Nightmare at 20,000 feet is the episode I immediately recall! Shatner has become a far, far better actor than you might have expected watching that incredibly hammy performance, hasn't he? LOL!
Also interesting to me is your answer No. 2. I rather liked Klinger!

from T.S. Eliot – The Waste Land on Genius
Sweeney is the name of a character that Eliot used in a number of previous poems, including "Sweeney Among the Nightingales" and "Sweeney Erect." He is portrayed as a kind of cheerfully horny lout.
Sweeney is also a negative Irish stereotype, and possibly a criminal. In Eliot's Sweeney Agonistes, written after The Waste Land in the form of a play, Sweeney says: "Every man wants to, has to, kill a woman sometime." (QFM) One possible subtext is that of an educated, cultured man struggling with the impulse to kill his wife. If this is true of Eliot, he may have conveniently sublimated the impulse by burying his wife Vivienne in a mental hospital.

# gold # India gold imports # Finance Ministry # gold prices
To prevent underinvoicing of gold, silver imports, the Ministry of Finance updates gold import prices based on global market trends every month for calculation of import duty. At present it is $401 per 10 grams and new rates are due by the end of this month.
By Sreekumar Raghavan
MUMBAI/KOCHI,INDIA (Bullion Street):Many people wonder why there is a difference between Indian and global prices of gold? Sometimes TV channels that seek my views on gold and silver market often ask whether trends in Indian market mirror global trends or is there any difference?
The answer to this question is both yes and no. Indian markets do reflect global trends but being the largest consumer of the yellow metal, its own demand and seasonal factors do affect the market sentiments.
If London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Fix is at $1320 an ounce, Indian prices on a per gram basis could be $42.44 x Indian Rupee value against dollar (let us assume it is Rs 60). Gold per gram prices can be arrived at by dividing dollar value of gold in ounce by 31.9899927.This gives an answer of Rs 2546 per gram. To this we have to factor the 8% import duty which means we have to add Rs 203.68 to get an approximate market value on landed gold in India. Apart from this value added tax rates could be different from state to state and hence that also has to be added to arrive at the final price. When it is turned into jewellery, the retailers may mark up anything from 5-25 percent as making charges.
To prevent underinvoicing of gold, silver imports, the Ministry of Finance updates gold import prices based on global market trends every month for calculation of import duty. At present it is $401 per 10 grams and new rates are due by the end of this month.

So important factors that impact Indian gold prices are:
1) Global prices (since the nation only produces about 100 kg of gold every year)2) Indian Rupee vs US Dollar and other currencies3) Local demand, supply mostly through imports, recycling3) Seasonal demand factors (wedding, festivals..)4) VAT rates in different states5) Gold rates differ for bullion, 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat gold.
These could be the reasons why jewellers themselves quote different prices for gold in their websites and in some states gold prices on a particular day is fixed by the jewellers associations and do not change till next trading day even if there are wild fluctuations in domestic spot, futures and global markets.
Bullion Street has now started a gold prices section that enables consumers to know gold prices in about 20 major currencies with continuous updates on week days.
Meanwhile, due to tight restrictions on gold imports introduced by Reserve Bank of India and the Finance Ministry, gold smuggling seems to be increasing if news reports are any indication:
Meanwhile, Reuters have compiled the series of measures taken by India Government to curb consumption of gold:

Oakley slacks Did not like. length to short but I ordered my length 32 December 13, 2014
Golf pants Very comfortable pants that I can wear on or off the golf course. November 10, 2014
Great Fabric, High Quality, Very Relaxed Fit I purchased numerous pairs of Oakley shorts over the summer and they fit me perfectly! I'm 5'9", 34" waist, and 165 lbs. These Oakley pants were a very relaxed fit in the seat and legs. It's my first purchase of Oakley long pants and I always need a slim cut or modern fit .If you were born with bird legs and no rear end; you might need to choose another brand, They are true to size; just a very relaxed fit. I had to return them for exchange. November 8, 2014
These pants are great for summer golf My 14 year old son plays in STPGA and US Kids golf tournaments during the summer in Texas. He now prefers to wear pants to protect his legs from the sun and mosquitos. These pants are light weight and comfortable and offer just the protection he needs. He also likes the fact that when he goes to the pool he doesn't have white feet and ankles. hahaha June 26, 2014

ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) — Paraguayans elected a tobacco magnate as their new leader Sunday, returning the conservative Colorado Party to the presidency that it held for 61 years before former Roman Catholic bishop Fernando Lugo won the office in 2008.
Horacio Cartes won a five-year term with 46 percent of the vote over 37 percent for Efrain Alegre of the Radical Liberal party, the Electoral Court announced after most votes were counted. Five other candidates trailed far behind.
"I'll need help from all the Paraguayans to govern in the next five years. Poverty, the lack of jobs for young people and international issues await us," Cartes said Sunday night.
Poverty is widespread in Paraguay, which is an agrarian nation that is South America's No. 3 producer of soy, corn and sunflowers. About 1 percent of the population controls 77 percent of the arable land. The U.N. estimates more than half of Paraguayans live in poverty, while the country's census bureau puts the number at 39 percent.
Alegre recognized his defeat despite saying earlier that he might challenge the outcome. "The Paraguayan people have spoken. There's nothing more to say," he said in a brief concession speech.
Cartes, 58, is part of the tiny elite that controls just about everything in Paraguay. His father represented the Cessna airplane company in Paraguay, which enabled Cartes to get schooling in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.
The president-elect owns controlling shares in banks, investment funds, agricultural estates, a soda maker and tobacco plantations. Most pre-election polls predicted his victory, despite this being his first run for public office. Cartes has been well-known in Paraguay as president of Libertad, the club that won last year's national soccer championship.
Many Paraguayans hope this election will encourage other countries to restore full relations that were suspended after last year's impeachment of Lugo, which neighboring nations saw as a threat to democracy in the region.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oscar Arias led an observer mission from the Organization of American States, and said Sunday that he had complete confidence in the Electoral Court because it had spent months observing and supporting the process. There were 515 observers from the OAS, European Union, the Union of South American Nations regional bloc known as UNASUR and the Union of Latin American Electoral Organizations.

Located in the grand and former Farmers and Mechanics building, this contemporary hotel nods to its 1940s past while providing all of the modern luxuries.
Very nice looking hotel. The parking was quite spendy. The staff was average - not as friendly or helpful for the price. The pool and hottub were relaxing. The breakfest buffet was average, pricey and not a lot of options.
Room service was great and the food was amazing! Close to Target Center which is why we picked it! Will definitely go back!
