I Wished You The Most
How a one-sided love is? There is always affection from some one side but the other one doesn't acknowledges their feelings and ignores them. At last, there is just no affection left inside that soul towards other......but the yearning to belonging to her never degrades....it just gets itself hidden somewhere deep in the heart....and here also it is depicted....
When you thought I ignored you,
I cared about you the most.
When you thought I hated you,
I loved you among the most.
When you felt loneliness around,
I struck around you the most.
When you felt happiness around,
I enjoyed it the most.
When you talked to me for the first time,
I pounced around the most.
When you tried ignoring me,
I circled around you the most.
When you talked with someone else,
I felt jealousy the most.
When you looked at someone else,
I controlled myself the most.
When you showered that anger on me,
I calmed myself the most.
Till the last I tried and wished,
We both together the most.

There are several licensing schemes and models for managing "Open Source" code. Apache is just one of them. ;-) But this is not the point. In order to "fix" issues, there has to be some concensus on some design decisions. For example, if you're going to modify the "ALTER TABLE" command, you have to consider a couple of things. Cascading the change, how to handle NULLs and Constraints. Order of precedence between containers and data... So who makes these decisions? Are they always taken to a vote? (Design by committee?) Its not a question of demanding that something gets fixed. Its a question of establishing a common way of assigning priority as to what should be addressed. Or an approach to a design. As to volunteering?

I've been browsing the sales this week, with a view to topping up the already overflowing pile of stuff I'm planning on packing for a girly trip to the South of France next week.
With a bunch of outfits already sorted, it's time to think about the accessories, which need just the right amount of boho beach vibe to get me through my stay.
So here's a stack of delicious pieces that are on sale which caught my eye, and might very well make the final edit into my already congested carry on bag.
1. Jody Candrian brass cuff with double lapis lazuli
2. Alexander McQueen leather wrap-around bracelet
3. Swarovski chain and pearl leather bracelet
4. Vanessa Arizaga blue Las Flores bracelet
5. Joomi Lim pink thread crystal spike bracelet
6. Marc by Marc Jacobs resin & acetate bangles

Deserves to go viral
[Obama's] entire presidency now looks about as useful as an eight-track tape player: quickly replaced by a superior technology but kept around for years because we´d paid a lot of money for it.
[Obama's] entire presidency now looks about as useful as an eight-track tape player: quickly replaced by a superior technology but kept around for years because we´d paid a lot of money for it.
Melania Trump was paid for 10 modeling jobs in the United States worth $20,056 that occurred in the seven weeks before she had legal permission to work in the country, according to detailed accounting ledgers, contracts and related documents from 20 years ago provided to The Associated Press.I don't want to copy the whole article here, you can read the rest of it at the link. It's pretty much TLDR, with lots of penny-ante details. In the National Post today, this was headlined "Melania Trump No Model Citizen".
The details of Mrs. Trump's early paid modeling work in the U.S. emerged in the final days of a bitter presidential campaign in which her husband, Donald Trump, has taken a hard line on immigration laws and those who violate them. Trump has proposed broader use of the government's E-verify system allowing employers to check whether job applicants are authorized to work. He has noted that federal law prohibits illegally paying immigrants.
Mrs. Trump, who received a green card in March 2001 and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, has always maintained that she arrived in the country legally and never violated the terms of her immigration status. During the presidential campaign, she has cited her story to defend her husband's hard line on immigration.
The wife of the GOP presidential nominee, who sometimes worked as a model under just her first name, has said through an attorney that she first came to the U.S. from Slovenia on Aug. 27, 1996, on a B1/B2 visitor visa and then obtained an H-1B work visa on Oct. 18, 1996.
Trump sued [famed chef Geoffrey] Zakarian after the chef terminated plans to open a restaurant in Trump's new Washington hotel, a $200 million makeover of the Old Post Office Pavilion on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, after Trump launched his campaign by denouncing Mexican immigrants as drug dealers and rapists.So these two fellows signed a contract with Trump, and then welshed. And Trump sued them! The reporter was aghast that Trump had "suspended his campaign" for ONE DAY to go to Washington to make a deposition for the lawsuit.
Trump's lawsuit was filed in D.C. Superior Court.
Separately, Trump also filed a lawsuit against renowned chef José Andrés, who also terminated his restaurant plans following Trump's statements.

Nick Lowles defined the 'No Platform' philosophy as 'the position where we refuse to allow fascists an opportunity to act like normal political parties'. But free speech is essential to a free society because, when you deny people 'an opportunity to act like normal political parties', there's nothing left for them to do but punch your lights out. Free speech, wrote the Washington Post's Robert Samuelson last week, 'buttresses the political system's legitimacy. It helps losers, in the struggle for public opinion and electoral success, to accept their fates. It helps keep them loyal to the system, even though it has disappointed them. They will accept the outcomes, because they believe they've had a fair opportunity to express and advance their views. There's always the next election. Free speech underpins our larger concept of freedom.'"Cancelling" the results of this referendum tells people the truth: that all the talk about Holy Democracy is a lie. That their doom is to lose forever and watch their enemies smirking in triumph. And you're telling it, not to a fringe group of basement-dwelling misfits, but to 52% of the population, and that percentage the mature, invested segment that a society depends upon to keep things going. If you want to guarantee civil unrest, that's about the best way of doing it.
Just so. A fortnight ago I was in Quebec for a provincial election in which the ruling separatist party went down to its worst defeat in almost half a century. This was a democratic contest fought between parties that don't even agree on what country they're in. In Ottawa for most of the 1990s the leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition was a chap who barely acknowledged either the head of state or the state she's head of. Which is as it should be. Because, if a Quebec separatist or an Australian republican can't challenge the constitutional order through public advocacy, the only alternative is to put on a black ski-mask and skulk around after dark blowing stuff up.
If the Second Amendment didn't exist, it might have to be invented to meet the current situation.How many times has this happened now? Over and over, no sooner do we learn the name of the terrorist killer than we hear that authorities were "monitoring" him. Monitored him right up to the door of the abbatoir, it seems.
The more incompetent the Obama administration becomes, the less convincing its demand for public disarmament will be. Conversely, the more competence the administration demonstrates, the more likely the public is to entrust its safety to it.
Historically, state failure drives civilian armament, not the other way around. Perhaps the clearest example of this trend is Lebanon, where the inability of the central government to protect the sectarian communities has led each to protect itself. While America is not Lebanon, the same principles hold true: competence inspires confidence, and there is precious little competence in the administration.
"Jump, I'll catch you" is credible only when the fireman's net is not surrounded by mashed bodies.
Well, a lot of the party has chosen a go it alone, we don't need you anyway strategy.
Good luck!
this could be sour grapes, and maybe I'll change my mind, but right now: Those of you who swear you can win the election without people like me -- are invited to do so. I'm done, I'm out. Go with God and good luck.
We told you he was unnacceptable -- stupid, paranoid, crazy, and narcisstic in the extreme. He's scary. You think he's just jake. Fine. But he's YOUR BOY. This shit no longer has anything to do with the rest of us.
i can't surrender as I'm a non-combatant in this war. this is YOUR BOY. You help your boy cross that finish line, Son!
"I hope you keep telling yourself that. It will make it even funnier watching your meltdown in November after your orange messiah gets crushed in a 40-state landslide."
"The Trumpkins can reap what they sowed. "
"Trump groupies: yay our guy won and now everyone is going to rally behind him and his authoritarian greatness. Otherwise you are electing Hillary and ruining the Supreme Court........ Eff you all and enjoy your humiliation."
"Trumpsters, keep pushing our buttons, keep laughing and you'll soon see that many Republicans and conservatives will NOT vote for Dear Leader. November is coming and you are the only fools to blame for the impending defeat."
"Let's talk in october, when Mr. Cheetoface is down 35 points and you beg conservatives like us to support Trump. Let's see your reaction then. BTW, I'm not stabbing your candidate in the back, I'm stabbing him in the face. You own him, you live with him."

@nedjursekgmail-comLocale: Pacific Northwest
I will be in Colorado from July 5 – 20th. I am looking for trip suggestions for a 4 to 5 nights, 5 to 6 days hike averaging about 15 miles a day. I will be staying in Denver. My gracious, retired brother in law will drive me to a trailhead and will pick me up, so a loop is not required. Last summer I did the CDT through the Weminuche Wilderness. Although I will go back, I will give it a couple years. I can hike during the week to help mitigate crowds. I would appreciate any suggestions that fit my time frame and distance. Thanks!
@paulmagsLocale: Front Range Zoo
Do the CDT portion from Salida to Twin Lakes. Lovely stretch of trail, relatively easy logistically (Drop off at Monarch Pass, pick up on HWY 82 by Twin Lakes).
~80-85 miles.
After you are done, you can easily go into Leadville for a well deserved meal.
Coming from the Denver metro area, Leadville is really easy to get to as well. The Leadville Hostel is really hiker friendly if you need to layover a night.
If you want to make it easy on your BIL, there is a bus from Leadville to Copper Mtn (off I70) daily IIRC.
@nedjursekgmail-comLocale: Pacific Northwest
Thanks for the trip tip! Looks cool. I PM'd you a couple follow-up questions.

At the end of a holiday dinner, cookbook author Deborah Madison likes to serve a big refreshing salad, passed around at the table. This one is based on a recipe in her her book Vegetable Literacy (Ten Speed Press, 2013).

- About 1/4 tsp. sea salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon aged sherry or red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 to 4 tbsp. roasted walnut oil* or olive oil
- 4 heads Belgian endive, separated into leaves; or 1 large head radicchio, quartered and sliced very thinly crosswise
- 1 to 2 tbsp. snipped chives
- About 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

On the other side of the park was a part of town where only the few wished to live claiming there was evil spirits, or ghost, and serial killers, but honestly it was because the homes were all condemned and falling apart.
" A perfect spot for those bastards, to hide or ambush." I say quietly, focusing on every detail around me, my eyes flashing between normal human vision and the vision I see when I convert myself to electricity. I could see faint outlines of orange meaning human beings, my vision flashes back.
"Just one more time I mutter, looking at the ground." My vision flashes I see red figures underneath a stone house."
"Found them." I say at little loudly.
"Where?" Billie asks.
"Underground in the stone house. Stay close to me, I don't want you to get hurt." I say concerned.
"Don't worry about me Ma-Mike." She stutters. I wanted to ask why she kept doing that, but I wasn't sure it seemed every time she did she was about to say another name, and that other name seemed to upset her, so asking may hurt her.
We tried opening the door as quietly as possible but that proved impossible as it squeaked then fell off the hinges the door slamming loudly to the ground. I wince as I sort of expected a viciouse horde of vampires to rush at me but instead nothing.
"Alright lets keep going." I mutter. Stepping into the house the floorboards being noisier than the damn door falling over. I walk around looking for an entrance to the underground when Billie finds it when fiddling with a strange looking Idol the floor under her shifts causing her to fall. I rush over before she gets to far by grabbing a piece of her clothing.
"That was close." I whisper, as she shakes in fear,"But at least you found out how to get down there.I'll phone Ash." I say taking it out quickly selecting his name and phoned but no answer, so I left a quick text before going down. Into the cold underground building that was poorly lit.
"Man these guys have poor tastes in lighting." I say giving off a few silent sparks to get around. After a few minutes of wandering we found a will lit room with a book standing on the pedestool with a metal lock on it making it impossible to open. Billie walks up to it with curiosity, hand extended, then a breeze whirls around us a bunch of vampire step out into the dark.
"I see that we have wanted guests but in the wrong room." A tall fairly pale vampire says very gentleman like, with yellow eyes.
"Yes wanted, aren't you lucky?"
"Go to hell leech." I spit.
"Ugly manners this one has. Incapacitate them." He orders as my hands build up with electricity striking a few done with out me even trying.
"Billie grab the book and go invisible!" I cry as the fight breaks out. I side step out of the way of a few nasty fists, Billie on the other side of the room disappears. Lets hope I don't hurt her in this skirmish.
"Where has the book gone?" One asks.
"You should be more worried about me then some locked up book." I say punching that one to to the face. I receive for fist to the chest slamming into a brick wall wincing in pain.
"Use your damn powers already!" I demand as electricity pulse through me hitting the group of vampires, they all die except the yellow eyed one, he must be a more powerful vampire.
"I'm going to make sure you pay for killing my brothers." He says angrily.
"So you guys do feel emotions?" I duck under a punch that blows a hole in the wall.
"Just a certain few." He responds as he ducks under a bolt of electricity.
"Mike watch out!" I hear billies voice as something behind me hits me with a stabbing pain. I slam onto the floor , blood running on my back.
"Torcher, you finally arrived!" The yellow eyed one says. I roll away from the vampires seeing the new one. he was one of the vampires from the cave, one of the elders, and somehow I could feel a crushing amount of fear and power from the one called Torcher, even though I couldn't see into his face from under the long cloak he wore.
"I will take care of them from here." His voice cold as oncoming chill of winter. He rushes forwards, and if I didn't know better I would say he was death himself. I couldn't move, my body refused to move, it as if time slowed down as his hands fell upon my shoulder and I could feel my energy being drained away. I fell to the floor useless, and utterly powerless to resist him."
"Matt!" Billie screams somehow becoming viable in the corner of my eye. Her eyes wide as Torcher stepped towards her without making a sound. No I couldn't lose again, I am stronger than this! I thought to myself knowing this time no one was going to save me. My hand twitched as Spark of orange appeared on it. Torcher takes one step closer to Billie, I could hear her heart beating fast in her chest as the fear emanating from him, I stand the orange electricity now surrounding my body, a reflection of a shattered mirror showed my eyes changed from blue to orange, I knew that this wasn't normal electricity it was positive electricity, and it supposedly was more dangerous and powerful then negative. I took no time to surprise the blood sucker kicked him so I won't him and Billie when I release a bolt of electricity.
"What the?You shouldn't be able to move, I stole all of your energy!" Torcher said, looking at me up and down, "Oh I see how it is. That is incredibly stupid of you, then again most of you brats don't last long against us." He sneers, I didn't understand what exactly what he meant but I didn't care , I was stronger now. I build up a bolt on my right arm and blast him, A white light engulfing all that was visible for a few moments until it died down revealing a burnt hall way and a hole but Torcher stood in an area unharmed from the attack.
"That was close luckily I have good reflexes and force-fields. I knew I should have killed you back when I first put you in one." He said. Without fear I ran towards him both hands holding another charge.
"Try making a force field now!" I grab his arm hitting him square on the face and letting go this time the destruction was immense as the roof was incinerated leaving us to the open sky and Torcher standing his cloak damaged revealing a face that was so pale it was almost transparent his eyes black as the night sky without stars.
"Either I failed at taking your energy away fully or you have a lot of life force you can dig into to fight on this level." The Vampire said through heavy breaths.
"Ma,Mike, stop now!" Billie yelled, then I realized why I could feel this immense power but at the same time each minute my body felt more fragile as if it couldn't take the power. A force field shaped in a spear came flying at me from above I retaliate with a bolt the two power cancelling each other out. I jump forwards but suddenly the orange current around me faded, and I was powerless falling back to the ground.
"Oh, and another one goes. Enjoy a new pain Billie, we'll be back for you shortly." Torcher said his voice sounding distant as I slowly fall to the ground numb,and. It felt like forever for my body to hit the ground, When I did couldn't feel it, somehow I think that Vampire thought I was dead but I confidently thought I was still alive and I was going to live. I heard the book that Billie was carrying to hit the ground with a thump that resonated through my body, but I could not hear Billie's voice as her face appears above me, her mouth moving her eyes wet, with worry. Time seemed so slow. I give a smile, I think, but when I try to move my arm, it does not. She brings her ear down to my chest , I could feel a tear hit my shirt as her head rests on it. At first I could not feel my own heart beating but slowly I could hear a thump even though it was faint but it slowly got louder. She raises her head looking at my eyes, and I look at hers seeing my eyes go from orange back to blue. I blink as to confirm I was still alive, I also began to feel warmth returning to my cold body. Either that bloody vampire was lying or I can't die. Billie's mouth moved as sound began to return to my brain.
"Idiot." She finished, and I smiled weakly.
"I really don't know what happened there but can you help me out of here." I speak my first words, well that's what it felt like.
"yes."she grabs my arm and helps me out, and she supported me, I looked over at that book.
"We should grab that, they seemed really anxious to get it back when you snatched it."
"I don't know I do not like the feel I get from that thing."
"Then let me carry it." I say.
"You can't carry yourself!" She scoffed.
"Oh yes I can!" I say confidentially I say rushing forward snatching the book off the ground," See." Then my legs give in and I fall on my ass.
"Ma- Mike, you are a pain. You know that?" I smile she helps me back up, and supports me again," We'll bring the book but keep that thing far away from me."
"Alright." I reply. Then after that a long moment of silence follows us until I say," I'm sorry if I scared you back there, I think that Vampire was wrong though about me using my life force."
"Ma- I mean Mike dammit! The elders are never wrong, which means your an anomaly. As for scaring me, don't ever do that again." She says the last bit in a way it was serious but jokingly in a way.
" I. I" My phone goes off, I reach into my pocket quickly answering it.

Bunny O'Hare is a 1971 American comedy film directed by Gerd Oswald, starring Bette Davis and Ernest Borgnine. The screenplay by Coslough Johnson and Stanley Z. Cherry focuses on a pair of senior citizens who, disguised as hippies, engage in a crime spree.
The title character, a widow whose savings have been depleted by her selfish, middle-aged children, Lulu and Ad, finds herself homeless when the bank forecloses on her mortgage. She becomes friendly with Bill Green, an aging itinerant salvaging the house's plumbing, who she soon discovers is really fugitive bank robber William Gruenwald. Hoping to recoup her losses from the bank that took her home, Bunny blackmails Bill into teaching her how to rob the institution in exchange for keeping his identity a secret. She wears a long blonde wig, oversized hat, and sunglasses, while he dons a fake beard, leather vest, and bell-bottom pants, and the two pull off the caper and escape on a 250cc Triumph TRW Trophy motorcycle. Buoyed by their success, Bunny convinces Bill to join her in more heists, and the different modus operandi they use - setting free a canary to distract the guard, setting off smoke bombs - make it difficult for police lieutenant Horace Greeley and criminologist R.J. Hart to profile their suspects.

The working titles for the film were Bunny and Claude, Bunny, Betty and Claude, and Bunny and Billy.[citation needed] The film marked the second on-screen pairing of Bette Davis and Ernest Borgnine, who co-starred in The Catered Affair in 1956.[citation needed] The American International Pictures release was filmed partially on location in Albuquerque. New Mexico Governor David F. Cargo made a cameo appearance as a state trooper.[citation needed] The film led to two lawsuits for American International Pictures. Davis, who had script approval, was upset with changes made in editing, and she sued the company for loss of income and damage to her career for changing the film into a "slapstick" production instead of the "humorous social commentary" for which she had signed. The suit eventually was dropped. Writer Cherry sued for $13,400, the balance of his fee, and also asked for 5% of the film's net profits. The outcome is unknown.[2]
The soundtrack includes the following vocals:
- "Monday Man," written by Billy Strange and Keith Roberts, performed by Billy Curb
- "Right Or Wrong," written by Mack David and Billy Curb, performed by Billy Curb
- "The Ballad Of Bunny O'Hare," written by Mack David and Billy Curb, performed by Billy Curb
Bette Davis was unhappy with the final film and sued AIP for $3.3 million in damages.[3]
Critical reception[edit]
In his review in the New York Times, Vincent Canby described the film as "a silly, foolishly entertaining movie ... nonsense of a quite acceptable order, filled with absurd chases and stock characters who have been conceived and played with affection." Of its star he observed, "Miss Davis ... gives a performance that may be one of the funniest and most legitimate of her career."[4] In the Cleveland Press, Toni Mastroianni said, "Bette Davis and Ernest Borgnine play a Bonnie and Clyde of the Geritol set and the result is about as satisfying as a bad television show."[5] Time Out London called it an "embarrassingly unfunny caper".[6] According to TV Guide, "This clever script is ineptly directed by Oswald, who has no idea of how to embellish the comedy with pace, movement, or wit. Davis and Borgnine are excellent, though, showing that years of training and professionalism can overcome just about anything."[7]

Should Alphabet Bring Android Pay To India?
- Launching Android Pay in India looks great on paper to tap the country's 1 billion mobile subscribers.
- However, India's low AFA cutoff, small mobile payments industry and low consumer spending dampens the prospects.
- Google would be better off if it launched Android Pay in other developed markets.
Alphabet Inc-C (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android Pay is available in the U.S and U.K but Google isn't stopping there. The software giant intends to expand its payment service to Australia and Singapore, along with several other countries, in the coming months. In fact, speculative discussions in online forums suggest that Android Pay could also be launched in India going forward. But will this be a feasible venture? Let's examine the opportunities and risks involved with the launching of Android Pay in India to have a better understanding of the matter.
- Let me start by saying that India is a huge market for smartphones. India is expected to surpass the U.S and emerge as the second largest smartphone market next year with projected sales of 192 million devices during 2018. So, in theory, launching any kind of mobile service or software in India has a great potential, given the sheer size of the country's phone market, at least on paper.
- More to the point, the country is seeing a widespread proliferation of NFC devices across all price points. For instance, there are a whopping 422 NFC-enabled smartphone models retailing in India. Let's be clear, these don't include discontinued models; they are actual devices that are currently on sale in the country. Out of this pool of devices, about 108 NFC-enabled smartphones carry a price tag of less than $250. This widespread penetration of NFC smartphones across varying price points suggests that launching a service built on NFC could find several million users in India.
- Also, Indian banks have started to realize the potential of NFC-based mobile payment solutions. Major banks such as HDFC, SBI, ICICI and Axis Bank are all expanding their NFC terminal networks across India to promote the use of the next-gen tech amongst their users. Backing from the bankers makes the launch of Android Pay all the more feasible; there is already infrastructure in place to leverage the growth prospects of NFC mobile payments, so Google won't have to start from scratch.
- A key factor to note here is that there's a huge opportunity of carrier billing in India. There are more mobile subscribers in India than credit/debit cards: 1 billion mobile subscribers compared to about 670 million credit and debit cards. So by linking the Android Pay directly to the consumer's mobile billing accounts, I believe Google could actually increase its total addressable market even further.
Now that we have discussed the opportunities, let's take a look at what all challenges and risks Android Pay could face in India.
- First and foremost, the average consumer spending is relatively lower in India compared to other developed nations; the chart attached below highlights that in detail. This may not mean much in isolation but we have to realize that Android Pay is a for-profit venture. Lower consumer spending means lower commission revenue for Google. So a massive Pan-India launch of Android Pay may not be worth it at all if it isn't going to generate sizable returns for the software giant.
- Another roadblock that could hinder Android Pay's growth in the country is that the Reserve Bank of India has imposed an "Additional Factor of Authentication" restriction on all transactions above $30. It basically requires you to enter a PIN at the merchant's point of sale terminal if the bill is above $30. The whole premise of the NFC mobile payment technology is to make transactions faster and safer, but with the mandatory PIN requirement, that may not happen. Consumers may not opt in for any NFC-based mobile payment service in India if it doesn't save time. Google is probably better off launching its service in other countries where the AFA-cutoff is relatively higher.
- It's also worth considering that India's mobile payments industry is quite small, aggregating to just $1.4 billion in size last year, which represents just about 1% of the global market. Why would you launch a product in a small market when bigger markets are yet to be tapped?
- Moreover, there are several VC funded mobile payment companies in India such as Freecharge, Mobikwik, Paytm, Oxigen, Citrus Pay and mRupee but none of them have bothered to enter the NFC-based payment servicing segment. If there truly was a massive market for NFC payments in India, wouldn't these companies have already entered the segment in hopes of a potential acquisition by Google? Maybe the Indian market isn't large enough?
Putting it all together
Granted that the Indian smartphone market looks massive when we talk about the number of mobile subscribers and handset offerings. But these factors won't singlehandedly drive the growth of NFC-enabled payments in India. I'm of the opinion that launching Android Pay in India at the moment would make a bad business decision due to the aforementioned reasons. There are several untapped developed markets, such as Singapore, Malaysia or Hong Kong, that would be better suited for Android Pay.

International Inflation Spillovers Through Input Linkages
We document that observed international input-output linkages contribute substantially to synchronizing producer price inflation (PPI) across countries. Using a multi-country, industry-level dataset that combines information on PPI and exchange rates with international and domestic input-output linkages, we recover the underlying cost shocks that are propagated internationally via the global input-output network, thus generating the observed dynamics of PPI. We then compare the extent to which common global factors account for the variation in actual PPI and in the underlying cost shocks. Our main finding is that across a range of econometric tests, input-output linkages account for half of the global component of PPI inflation. We report three additional findings: (i) the results are similar when allowing for imperfect cost pass-through and demand complementarities; (ii) PPI synchronization across countries is driven primarily by common sectoral shocks and input-output linkages amplify co-movement primarily by propagating sectoral shocks; and (iii) the observed pattern of international input use preserves fat-tailed idiosyncratic shocks and thus leads to a fat-tailed distribution of inflation rates, i.e., periods of disinflation and high inflation.

3 Days in Vienna
Museum Guide for Vienna
Guide to Vienna for Families
Charming boutique hotel. Friendly and helpful staff, an honour bar for wine or beer and an excellent breakfast. There were some problems with the wifi while we were there, but that was a very minor issue.
This is a charming hotel where the owner kindly supplied us with 3 free wines during our stay to be taken whenever you like with a brief history of each of the local wines. The rooms are huge but some come with no air conditioning (but did come with a fan). The hotel does look dated in some areas but...
A really nice Place in Wienna. The Hotel is very quiet, only a few meters from the metro. The garden is a really nice Place to end the days With a glass of reaaly good wine!! And the breakfast was fantastic!! They also served Sparkling wine. Really a gem, and I will reccommend it, and of course come back!
This is definitely a place worth visiting. I have eaten there few times and the food was always delicious. Congratulations.
A very nice hotel, very spacious, 2 adults and 2 kids sharing a room but it is really very comfortable. This is the biggest and cheapest room we stayed in Europe, but with no compromise in quality. The breakfast is elegant, excellent.
It is not in the prime location but very close to Underground.
Good Value for money...

The men at the front desk are only friendly when you are checking in. Very rude and unprofessional otherwise. Why aren't any women hired for the desk? In 2 weeks, I have met 4 different desk personnel. I called a good many motel/hotels for pricing. I specifically said I needed a room for the month (31 days) because my apartment would not be ready until the 1st of the following month. I explained I am comparing prices, so I need an exact amount. I was quoted $799.00, plus an add'l $100.00 deposit which would be returned at checkout, if there are no damages to the room. I asked about taxes, and he said $37 or $38 at the most. I drove all the way from the east coast to the west coast, just myself and my young child. We were tired, it was late, and I signed the papers without reading, which I never do. When I got to my room, I saw that I was charged add'l amounts of: $78.21 for city taxes , and $30 for the washing of the linens, total bill-$1007.21... I complained of the bait and switch tactics, and when I said I will wash my own linens(e.g. towels & sheets) in their laundry room at $2.00 a load, they refunded the $30, but not until the manager snidely stated: you should have been charged $4o for that, since you are staying for a month.
When I arrived, it appeared that either I had been given 1/2 a roll of toilet paper or a dollar store flimsy roll. After the 4th day, we ran out, so I went to the front desk to request more, and he said: Already?!! you are kidding me, and finally handed me a roll. After that, i buy my own! To top it off, they charge an outrageous $10 a week for internet in your room.
Also, I walked out to my car one day and realized my key card was in the room. When I explained this to the desk mngr, I asked for my 2nd keycard I was offered at the time of check in and only took one. He snottily replied: Next time you do that,(meaning get locked out) it will be $10.00! (Mind you, I am 55 yrs old, and not accustomed to being talked down to)
Since they are so incompetent, yesterday i went to the desk to make sure they have me down for 31 days instead of 30 (31 days in this mo) the front desk person tells me; oh,no, you are down for 28 days, that is considered a month.
no curtains!! only small slatted white mini blinds which not only let in tons of light at 5:30 am. There are numerous tack holes in the walls on either sides of the windows where apparently guests are tacking up their sheets for privacy and sleep. The bed is like sleeping on a brick. The bed underneath the mattress is like a cheap plywood or pressed wood which has a platform which goes straight down the middle, then crosses in the middle.You can feel the cross piece in your back, while lying down. The pillows are hard as well. It is a crap shoot every evening starting at 5:30, because guests can be different every night, or week. Lots of slamming doors, kids screaming, tvs blaring. There are 2 big dips in the driveway to the hotel from the road, and a huge gaping pothole covering 3/4 of the entrance to the parking lot. Very bad 1st impression. There is no change machine on site for laundry or vending machines. The front desk literally closes with a roll down window at 6 pm mon thru friday, saturday at 2 pm, and sunday they are closed. You can only call in an emergency if you need something.
The only nice thing I can say, is the housekeeping lady is very sweet and cheerful. She is also excellent at her job, this place is very clean.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Value Place Loveland, CO is conveniently located just off I-25 & Crossroads Blvd. This property is ideally located just between Fort Collins and Loveland, just south of the new Budweiser Event Center and Larimer County Fairgrounds, and just to the north of all that Centerra has to offer. Loveland and Centerra offer everything you would expect from the best: shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation and more. Many major retailers are within 2 miles of Value Place Loveland. Known as both the "Gateway to the Rockies" and the "Sweetheart City", Loveland is only minutes away from Boyd Lake State Park, Carter Lake, the Big Thompson Canyon, Devils Backbone or Estes Park. The hiking, biking, fishing and other outdoor options are endless! For sports fans, Colorado will not disappoint. Take in a local CSU or UNC athletic game, grab a seat for an exciting time at the Colorado Eagles, or head only 30 minutes south to catch the Broncos, Nuggets, Mammoth or Avalanche. If you want to be in the action, head to the ski slopes and enjoy the famous Colorado powder. If you're looking for arts and culture, make sure to take in the art around town. Loveland was just named the "2nd Best Art Town in America" for its major art shows, foundries, and sculpture parks. Whether you're in Loveland for work, medical reasons, vacationing or just passing through, Value Place Loveland is the ideal place to stay. Once you arrive, our friendly Value Place Loveland team will be happy to help you navigate around town. Just think of us as your guide to Loveland, CO.Value Place is a much better place Before you decide to stay at Value Place, we want you to be prepared—prepared for a better guest experience. What that means to us is a truly affordable, incredibly clean, safer, simple, flexible experience. And this is more than just a nice idea—it's the Value Place promise. So how do we do it? By combining all the convenience of a hotel and all the essentials of an apartment. We're a hybrid—and that makes us better than a hotel, an apartment or any other short-term or long-term housing accommodations you'll find. Think about it—no extras padded into our price, no hidden fees. No lease to sign, no utilities to set up. And that's just for starters. Find out how we're different and what to expect when you're here. What to expect when you arrive After a brief room tour, you'll register, pay for the week plus a refundable $100 deposit, and agree to our house rules—which basically come down to common-sense policies that protect the privacy and security of each and every guest. Value Place is a family-friendly place, and children 17 and under stay free. To maintain a consistent guest experience at all of our properties we do have a No Pet Policy, except for service animals. Then we'll show you to your guest room. It's that easy. What to expect in your room Although Value Place offers several room choices, the essential features stay the same. You can always count on a simple but fully furnished studio with a kitchen that includes a full size refrigerator and freezer, a microwave, a two-burner stovetop and plenty of cabinet space. You'll also find two drinking cups, a trash bag, a roll of bathroom tissue and a bar of soap to get you started—because at Value Place, we figure you'd rather shop on your own terms than pay for extras you may not need. If you do want to take advantage of the additional amenities and services we offer—from kitchen cookware to high-speed Internet—they're available anytime for your convenience for a minimal fee. There's only one thing guests never seem to be completely prepared for—how astonishingly clean our rooms are. What to expect in and around our building All Value Place properties are newly constructed from the ground up and electronically locked 24/7. That means no one can access our interior-corridor entrances without a valid key card. (No exterior room doors here like at most discount hotels or extended stay motels.) Featuring at least eight cameras and a very well lit parking lot, we keep your safety in and out of the building in mind. All public areas are cleaned daily—including our well-lit parking lot. Beyond our commitment to cleanliness and safety, we also offer vending machines and an onsite laundry room for your convenience. What to expect from our team You won't find a friendlier team anywhere. Our helpful staff—from Studio Attendants to the Property Manager—will make sure your guest experience is a positive one, whether you need something for your room or directions to the closest car repair shop. At Value Place, you can expect courteous treatment from professionals who are committed to maintaining guest privacy and peace of mind. In fact, some team members live onsite to uphold our rigorous cleaning and safety standards. What to expect at every Value Place When it comes to Value Place, you don't have to compete with anyone for that perfect apartment or hunt for the best hotel deal in town—we're always the better choice. At your typical extended stay motel, discount hotel or other short-term housing solution, guests have to give up something that really matters. Not here. At Value Place you will always receive an affordable price in a Cleaner, Safer, Simpler, and Flexible property. We're about living better through better value. And that makes us the smarter choice. Best of all? We promise a consistently positive guest experience at every Value Place you visit. Explore Value Place locations or make a reservation today. ... more less

Selene: Whos' This?
Someone came in. I went to where Crystal was talking with someone.
"Who's this?" I asked, somewhat haughtily.
"Grace, meet Selene, daughter of Diana. Selene, this is Grace, an old friend of mine." Crystal said. I saw Grace stiffen, so I walked back to the living room so they could talk together. Tight murmurings reached my ears. I wondered what they were talking about. Was it me, or just something else that I had interrupted?
I looked out the window, wondering who else was out there. I hoped that sooner or later, Crystal and her mysterious friend would explain thing to me.

A break from a blogging hiatus and blogging about tech related topics, one word has caught my fancy while catching up on the latest local news which centers on two hot issues: the stand-off between China and the Philippines over the Scarborough shoal and the recent brawl between Raymart Santiago and mediaman Ramon Tulfo.
One word that connects the stories – braggadocio.
Merriam-Webster defines it as braggart, empty boasting, arrogant pretension or cockiness.
After the airport brawl between Raymart Santiago and Ramon Tulfo, you all know the story so I'll skip those details, the other Tulfos: Erwin, Raffy and Ben in an episode of "T3 Kapatid Sagot Kita" on Monday night virtually vowed to exact revenge on Santiago for what happened to their elder brother. Which was no surprise at all knowing that the Tulfo brothers are known for, what else, being braggadocio.
It seems that PNoy is no different from the Tulfos in his handling of the Scarborough shoal stand-off between China.
Journalist and former Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Presidential Spokesperson Rigoberto Tiglao explained how PNoy blew away the chance of peacefully resolving the Scarborough stand-off by sending the Philippine Navy's flagship BRP Gregorio del Pilar to scare off unarmed Chinese fishing vessels in the Panatag shoal.
Tiglao points out that the move gave the Chinese the opportunity the moral high ground that it was the Philippines who sparked the now volatile situation in the West Philippine sea. It was PNoy who escalated the situation and with his officials from the Cabinet and the Armed Forces blabbering regularly how the United States would come to aid us in case of an outbreak of armed conflict is nothing else but, you guessed it: braggadocio.
With the Tulfos facing a possible sanction by the MTRCB over their tirades on TV and the United States having said no word that it will side with the Philippines on the Scarborough shoal stand-off, it was only our own Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin who interpreted it that way, we will soon see how long this braggadocio will last. More importantly, where it would lead us all.

wow... um.. have fun in jail...

I was discussing ccw stuff with an 'acquaintance' and he said he was buying a set of handcuffs. I asked if he was gonna carry them. He replied "sure if i have to stop someone, if i can prone them out I'm gonna cuff'emup" All I could think is "uh huh...right"
My thought is, they probably are not gonna lay down for me. I wouldn't if i was a BG figuring a regular armed citizen is not gonna shoot me in the back, I'd run away. Ok assuming they do prone out for ya. Are ya opening yourself up to crap like "illegal" imprisonment, kidnapping, etc. charges for such an activity?
Next, he said "plus if anybody Sees my cuffs on my belt (and my gun) they will think I'm a cop and not call the cops on me for an accidental display of my weapon.
Mall-ninja and cop-wannabe come to mind but the legal aspects are what I wonder about.
What do you all think?

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8
Terrible idea.
He needs to get his butt to a "self defense and the law" class and ditch the cuffs.
or become a cop...

Suggest the young man take some courses in Police Science at a local City College, who knows, the fellow may turn out to be a great cop.
too much time spent watching law&order,the closer, etc.
(SHERIFF BUFORD T. JUSTICE) "what the hell is

I've been a cop for 19 years altogether, and I can't think of a single instance where myself or another officer have taken into custody someone who needed to be proned out at gunpoint WITHOUT waiting for backup to arrive.
That's just suicidal. You can't simultaneously hold them at gunpoint AND handcuff them. If you keep the gun in hand, you can't apply the cuffs, and you risk the gun being taken from you. If you holster, you lose the threat which provided the control in the first place.
Tell your friend to leave the cuffing to the police. THEY will be his "backup".
Operating a cell phone is a one-handed operation. Operating a pair of handcuffs is not.
Dude has no clue what he's talking about, or thinking of.
Never mind that alone attempting to cuff _and_ cover a perp single handedly is very much a poor and highly risky idea.
If some civilian looking citizen tried to cuff me even if he/she were armed you can bet sure as the sun sets in the west I would not go with it easily nor quietly. And I'm not even a criminal in mindset.
Why would muchless should a criminal comply to a citizens handling and efforts to cuff them?
Dude is not thinking things through using reason or street sense muchless understanding of law.

No, I think this is actually dumber than a badge. Distance yourself from this moron post haste.
No cuffs. Call for more help.

Clear Eyes, Full Plates, Can't Puke: Behind the Scenes of Competitive Eating
C Frank0 stashed this in Food
Stashed in: Conflict, Fight Club, Interesting...
In recent years, the "sport" of competitive eating has expanded from a Coney Island freak show into an international, well, freak show. Jon Ronson hit the contest trail with some of the circuit's deepest stomachs—men who devour unholy amounts of chicken wings in minutes flat; women who make stupid money mowing down quesadillas—and returned with a tale that answers the only question that really matters: Why?
Oh man...
"It's lucky you're not flying home until tomorrow," I say. He'd told me earlier that he always gives himself a day before flying, because it would be a nightmare if the seat-belt sign were to go on just as the inevitable evacuation began to occur.
"Describe how you're feeling with twenty corned-beef sandwiches inside you," I ask.
"I'm used to it," he says. "But...pain..."
He's speaking in fractured sentences, with great difficulty. It seems cruel for me to continue the interview. I congratulate him once again. "Hopefully I'll feel okay," he says, "in four or five hours."
