So the thief was from inside the house only,so it is very late to nab him.But I appreciate our Honorable PM for the bold action he has taken.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have heard that De La Rue printing our new 500 2000 notes. Not just that De La Rue also got contract for new Rs 10 plastic notes and is opeaning a security paper mill in Madhya Pradesh. Check the links and pls let Modi know about this fraud by RBI behind his back.Delete
Now who should be held responsible? The officials who are appointed to work upon national interest or the politicians whom we choose to develop the country. Well development was hardly in their cards and working with honesty and not inclining towards the hunger of some notes was never in their duty. Some good officials had to stay shut and paralyse themselves in this block of terror minds just because of their duty... Reformation need to be taken as an urgent call in all the sectors... While few are working with an intention of uplifting our condition, many are busy pulling their legs...Delete

A very strong and historic decision by our honorable PM.But what about the fake currency of 500 nd 1000 that has been deposited now in the banks. Is the amount somewhere as being said?Delete

A gr8 move let's support our pm..not only now but in all upcoming events..Delete
Thanks for this interesting blog. Whole issue is dating back to 2010. Any sensible PM would have resorted to this step. Dont go back and say why congress did not do htis. They are not a benchmark for BJP.
Modi is an ambitious politician. He is not doing anything wrong, but wants to prove to india that he is the only person that can think and act with courage. It is a well know fact that he stampled upon Advaniji and installed himself as PM candidate. Success of modi is partly his clever digital campaign but mostly because of peoples's desire to throw away congress.
This whole blackmoney drama is timed for UP election with ill planning,ignoring inconvenience to public.
Be a sensible Indian citizen ! Don't spread false news ! If today, the price of vegetables and commodities - which you and your family eats is going down, it is due to the demonitization - which none of congress govt would have made it possible in your life time !!!Delete
Boss one side u say inconvenience to public cause of demonetisationDelete
And then u say whole is drama for up election....
U mean to say modi has done all this to lose up election........
Boss if inspite of knowing the results that this move can lead him loss in up elections if he has boldy taken this step
Please respect him......

It is too close to call, a situation in which our currency notes are compromised which led way to bring in fake currency in our indian economy, all printing agents vis-a-vis our high level officers are blind , perhaps they have performed their duty perfunctorily , very sorry state of affairs, what a common man understands mill and mint papers used for printing all are fake the government is also fakeReplyDelete

Very bold and strong decision by our hon.PM who steered the entire nations economy in a manner that facilitated us to avoid the recession and on top of it the latest demonetisation to curb proliferation of black money and sponsorship of terror elements. I'd say our PM is doing all the jobs with utmost sincerity and national integrity in all the sectors from business, finance and defence. A salute to PM on behalf of the entire nation. India can once again aspire to become a golden bird under the leadership of Mr. Modi who emerged as a iron man akin to Sardar Patel with stern decision making and elevating the nation from the troughs of a diminishing economy. Jai Hind.ReplyDelete

Mr Narayanasamy I do understand your point of view...... from your post you look to me a learned person and a senior citizen of India....Delete
Your concern of you standing in Queue and few odd deaths of old people due to this Demonatization is understandable......
But my dear Senior Citizen, please also try to understand if this would have continued there would have been another HIT of RECESSION where many would have lost Jobs and then my Dear Senior CITIZEN.... there would have been reports of YOUNG MEN COMMITTING SUICIDE and YES THIS IS ALSO A FACT
So a the saying goes for loss if few if entire nation can be saved its worth.
Now I hope you will not talk stupid by saying "If those would have been my family members blah blah shit", every Indian is my Family member and I belong to family where many are in Armed forces and we have lost few too.....

I understand Mr Narayana Swamy that old men cannot stand in the que. Being a computer literate I assume that you are debit/Credit card literate also. Only you may know the reason for not accepting the change in the system. But my sincere advise is not to worry so much about poor. Because they are poor may not have enough money to go bank very frequently.Delete
And no one ever complained that they are standing in queue days together with they visit temples and something is given free. We are all responsible for this system for voting culprits and no problem even if it takes another 100 days to get normalized. My sincere advice get a debit card

To all the bhakts out there, while I support the demonization move and I am not personally affected by this, it would be sensitive to acknowledge that the whole jhumla written is utter crap, we may never know the real reason and the planning was apalling. This is 21st century India and people are standing in lines to get their rationed currency like a communist state.Delete
Unlike you blog soldiers, I actually have researched and followed the fake currency saga since it first raised its ugly head in 2001(one may argue it was since 1997 but the first big expose was in 2001) so I can recognize Shit when I see it and what is written above is crap as mentioned earlier.
All I can appeal to all (bhakts and non bhakts), please be calm and educate people on how to ration their cash and do not stand in lines everyday which causes further stress, please do not visit ATM with 4-5cards, we have to stand up as one and not be selfish...
Btw, yet to see a single politician or celebrity depositing their cash- guess either they are too honest or are enjoying their privilege banking.

No wonder the West Bengal chief minster is so unhappy. Can we continue to believe she didn't know it?
Nitish, the well rooted politician now acting (pro monetization) so that he is not suspected?
Welcome to the world of "liberals"
Few people died while standing in que to get money from bank. I feel sorry for that, however everyday young soldiers are killed by pakistani terrorists. You don't feel anything for it. You have option to use plastic money but still you dont want to, reason can be anything. But soldiers don't have option to come out of border.Delete
Think about country not your personal issues. We got freedom after many people sacrificing there lives and even after 67 years still we are still slaves. Time to waket up.....
Ooh my God... If people die standing in queue half the population of the world by now would have been died.Delete
Few personal observation about demonetization:
1. Most people are very happy(including me).... Because they think they got an opportunity to hit the corrupt, rich and dons with political power.
2. No doubt some are really worried
3. Many companies are in the Verge of winding up.. employees are sent home.
4. Banks are benefitted.... Some employees of banks have become master scamsters.
5.people who oppose demonetization are not able to credibly criticize the move.. Be it Amartya Sen-who says there is breach of promise, i am not convinced......, Aravind kejriwal says BJP guys already knew about the move and they deposited all money in the banks, for proof he shows the deposits in the bank for last few months had gone up. If someone deposits money in the bank then where is the issue of black money?😋.... Aravind kejriwal show come up with something more logical and credible.
6. If country go cashless definitely crimes will come down... But at the same time companies like paytm,reliance jio will make more money than the govt😎.
7. Demonetization has no doubt brought the real estate into a stand still position. This was very important because the growth was totally and regulated
8. Competition due to black money in the market has definitely come down. This will encourage legitimate business to grow.
9. We are now see only two categories of discussions one by Mr. Modi bhakts on one side and his critics on the other side.
In my opinion people should growup and make healthy discussions and debate fruitfully. We should try to find real solutions, merits and demerits of Demonetization.

Quite interesting to know these facts which are not in the know of the common man. Unless people like you in your blogs bring about these security breaches in our currency economics the media and the selfish opposition parties will hijack the public opinion about the demonetization.

Birbal: You can get it from Dhanna Seth.(merchant).
Akbar was amazed as to how a trader/ merchant could have so much money. Still he went to Dhanna Seth.
Dhanna Seth offered: Badshah , I have huge wealth, take as much as you want."
Akbar: Dhanna Seth, How did you accumulate so much wealth. Tell me without any fear of punishment.
Dhanna: I earned it by adultrating grains & spices.
Akbar got angry, he took all of Dhanna's wealth and ordered him that from then on he would collect the horse dung in his royal stable. Dhanna agreed.
Years passed by. Again Akbar had to fight a long drawn battle. Again his royal wealth exhausted & again Birbal advised Akbar to go to Dhanna Seth for help.
Akbar wondered : Birbal, I had ordered him to work in royal stable to collect horse dung, How on earth he can have such a wealth."
Birbal: Badshah, you can ask him but only he can help you.
Akbar went to Dhanna. Dhanna gave Akbar huge wealth.
Akbar: Dhanna Seth, I had earlier taken all your wealth, How did you accumulate it again?
Dhanna: From the stable - incharge & horse attendants. They used to underfeed the horses. I threatened them that I will complain to Badshah that they did not feed horses enough, hence the horse dung quantity was less. So they bribed me to keep silent.
Akbar got very angry again & ordered Dhanna to start counting the waves at sea & returned to his Palace with Dhanna's wealth.
As luck would have it, Akbar fought another war, royal wealth emptied out and once again Birbal advised Akbar to go to Dhanna Seth for help.
Akbar could not believe as to how Dhanna could earn so much by counting waves at sea.
Akbar asked Dhanna for the help.
Dhanna: Badshah, Take as much as you want but this time around I will not change my profession.
Akbar: Ok, but tell me how did you earn money by counting Water waves at sea.
Dhanna: Very simple, I used to stop merchant's ships & boats far away from sea shore. I showed them your orders that I was counting waves & their ships & boats would disturb or break the waves hence their ships or boats should stay away. Badshah, these merchants then used to bribe me to let them reach the shore & unload their merchandise.
So Badshah understood that Dhanna Seth can earn by engaging in manipulations & bribery from any profession.
Demonetisation or no demonetisation, the Dhanna Seths of our society will always find a way to earn & accumulate black money.

What was said by Kavi Pradeepji yearsback is true even today: "Jhank rahe hai apne dushman apni hi deewarose, Sambhalke rahna apne gharme chhupe hue gaddarose". It is needless to explain why all the political parties are making hue and cry over demonitization and some even want it to be rolled back...We the people of India should throw such people out by voting out them at every election, which is the only but most effective and strong weapon we have.ReplyDelete
How this would understand a common man .we cannot think or analyse internal matters of the nation and it is out of our reach .It is appreciable and daring step by Modi sir, I agree. Should have been any other alternative to this as common man suffering a lot and real terrorists are there in our nation it self. Surgical strikes should be on Bank managers and staff who encouraged to exchange the Ban currency deals at % at this time . India and our constitution is concentrated major on common and poor man .so ultimately he should not suffer .ReplyDelete

As a result of demonetization today Kashmir is not burning. This itself is big achievement and Naxalites are affected. so overall impact of demonetization is positive. only political parties are searching their position to get gain from this decision. We can stand in queues for Movie tickets but not for cause of nation interest. If you support govt. decision you will be bhakt and what about the people who oppose. Please don't ignore National interest against the protest of one Narendra Modi.ReplyDelete

The starting statement of RBI machinery is manipulated is absurd as RBI has sufficient checks to monitor fake notes . So there is no question of fake notes being entered into circulation from RBI .ReplyDelete
Back in the days of former PM Manmohan Singh ji, he suggested the same demonetization scheme but in absence of sheer will and internal oppose couldn't get it done and now he opposes the same for party interest in Parliament. Such a shame and dirty politics.. Also if a common person acquires the knowledge about demonetization and it's merits and tries to support it on social or any other media, he is labeled as a "bhakt" regardless of his pure intention is nation's interest, may he support any ideology/political party or not, common people always think in nation's interest for the personal betterment.ReplyDelete
Complete bullshit and fake news. It will take 25-30 years to print 15 trillion worth of notes even in a USA Fed Press! Pakistan 50 saal me bhi ye nahi bana sakta. Let alone the money required to get so much paper and printing ink and labor.ReplyDelete
Calculation - 1 US Fed Press can print around 20 lac bills a day (Info on many videos and news on the internet).
After reading this report and I do not doubt it, as most of the infomation is what I have come across during my research on recycling of currency and was looking at the source of the raw materials.ReplyDelete
More important is the fact that to pull of such acts you need to know how the systems within the govt work thoroughly and you need to have truck with all levels of the administration.
without any comments or bias the facts are that Dr.Manmohan singh held the following posts:Director, Reserve Bank of India (1976–1980)
Director, Industrial Development Bank of India (1976–1980)
Secretary, Ministry of Finance (Department of Economic Affairs), Government of India, (1977–1980)
Governor, Reserve Bank of India (1982–1985)
Deputy chairman, Planning Commission of India, (1985–1987)
Secretary General, South Commission, Geneva (1987–1990)
Advisor to Prime Minister of India on Economic Affairs (1990–1991)
Chairman, University Grants Commission (15 March 1991 – 20 June 1991)[4]
Finance Minister of India, (21 June 1991 – 15 May 1996)
Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha (1998–2004)
Prime Minister of India (22 May 2004 – 26 May 2014)

I think the cashless is answer for a honest society which every one is; which I am sure.ReplyDelete
Only the devil plays with our honesty when he shows that what we can save in cash transaction ( proving ourself that how intelligent we are by trading in cash). He tricks us to fool our inner self to boast us for doing incorrect and being egoistic about it.
I know the taxes are there but if you are in 30% slab or your paying service taxes, it means you are following system. Its not foolish. Its like Saluting the Country Flag; where we do not doubt or re-think. At least be proud and happy that the act is correct. Its straight simple. It can be taught to next generation.
If we do the other way around , the next generation learns the same as normal and does not re-think.
Its similar to a situation: Lets suppose in a home all are over weight and for them it is normal as seen through their eyes and then there is no referencing to the correctness to reduce the weight and no one tries to do it. If all society around is over weight then the normal is over weight. ( False referencing)
In my view all of the country were traveling in a bus and we were going to a destiny. We had been ignoring the noises of the engine because of the blackening of oil. Its just a pit stop for us as we clean up the oil and over haul the moving parts and then we re-start for the next leg of the journey.

Is this not a time to inquire into other forms of currency? Specifically, Polytetrafluorethylens [PTFE] film trademarked as Tefzel [Dupont] and Hostaflon [Hoechst]. The Govt. of India should research the multiple uses of PTFE sheets and pipes. Sheets can be produced in 1mm,2 mm thickness, with currency paper/notes sandwiched between 2 sheets and annealed. Annealing technology for PTFE is another industry we need to establish on a war footing. This polymer is worth its weight in gold as far as Indian defence and currency needs are concerned.ReplyDelete

ALMIRANTE, Panama (Reuters) - Indigenous people grew cocoa here more than 2,000 years ago. Now, their descendants are reviving the crop to meet world demand for high-quality chocolate.
Throughout Central America, farmers like Manuel Abrigo are planting cocoa, taking advantage of high world cocoa prices and the premium their cocoa commands.
"I sowed cocoa because I saw my neighbor had it and I wanted more income, too," Abrigo, an Ngobe Indian, said in broken Spanish. His hillside farm, near the port of Almirante in western Panama, overlooks a glistening bay where Christopher Columbus dropped anchor in 1502.
Grown by the ancient Maya in Mexico and Central America long before the arrival of the Spanish, cocoa also has a long tradition with the Ngobe people, native to the Panama-Costa Rica border region, as well as indigenous communities in Belize, Guatemala and Nicaragua.
Spanish explorers recorded that indigenous people used cocoa beans as currency. Ten could buy a night with a prostitute, 100 could buy a slave, according to archeologist Michael Coe, joint author of a book called "The True History of Chocolate."
In the 1990s Abrigo and other farmers abandoned the crop when the trees were hit by fungus and world prices were low.
Now gourmet chocolate companies are turning to growers in Central America to supply cocoa that can be labeled organic and "fair trade," under which companies pledge to pay third-world farmers more for their crops.
The bulk of the world's cocoa is grown in Africa, where cacao trees were imported by Portuguese colonizers in the 1800s. But human rights groups accuse producers in Ivory Coast, the world's No. 1 supplier, of using the labor of child slaves.
Abrigo belongs to a 1,500-farmer cooperative that sells most of its bean to a small Swiss company called Pronatec AG, which markets organic products to independent candy makers.
In southern Belize, near the border with Guatemala, a group of Mayan farmers produce cocoa beans for Green & Black's, a division of Cadbury Schweppes.
Their cocoa is shipped to Italy and mixed with orange flavor and spices to make "Maya Gold" chocolate, sold in Europe and the United States for $3 a bar.
Between 2002 and 2006, global sales of organic chocolate grew 120 percent to $401.3 million, less than 0.5 percent of the world chocolate market. But demand is enough to convince small farmers from Belize to Panama to produce more.
"People calculate they could easily double their output and not have any problems with finding a market," said Eduardo Somarriba, a cocoa expert at the Costa Rica-based tropical research center CATIE.
Somarriba estimates Central America's cocoa output rose 40 percent over the last three years to between 4,000 and 5,000 tonnes in the 2006/2007 harvest.
Planted area reached 21,000 hectares (52,000 acres), and another 2,000 hectares are expected to be planted this year, Somarriba said.
"Cocoa is one of the few cash crop alternatives in poor, indigenous areas," he said.
U.S. cocoa futures on the ICE exchange recently soared to a 28-year high as investment funds pour money into commodities.
Higher prices help farmers boost output by investing in methods to improve crop quality and avoid fungus outbreaks.
A fungus known as "frosty pod" wiped out much of Central America's crop in the 1990s.
Despite efforts to plant more cocoa, the scale of operations is still tiny on most Central American plots.
Abrigo's cooperative produced just over 600 tonnes of mostly organic cocoa in 2007, one of their biggest harvests in decades.
By comparison, the Ivory Coast produces more than 1 million tonnes of cocoa a year.
Central American farmers hand ferment their cocoa beans -- the seed of a fleshy fruit -- under banana leaves in hardwood boxes and dry them in the sun, a process that Green & Black's documents in its marketing.
Gregor Hargrove, Green & Black's project manager in Belize, said consumers like to know about the lives of the cocoa farmers. But taste comes first, he said.
"Our business is not to make some feelgood chocolate -- people will always buy the 'taste-good' stuff."

On this week-long self drive from Anchorage you'll visit Seward, cruise the Northwestern Fjords of Kenai Fjords National Park and take a Glacier Dog Sledding Heli Tour in Girdwood. Spend a full day in Homer to enjoy the spectacular surrounding scenery, then take a drive to Cooper Landing while keeping an eye out for wildlife.
Itinerary at a Glance
The below itinerary is only a suggestion, we offer tailor-made personal service and solutions to help you plan your perfect vacation.
Day 1 Anchorage to Seward (204 km / 127 mi)
This morning travel along the Seward Highway towards scenic Turnagain Arm. Turnagain Arm is a body of water featuring the world's second highest tides at over 30 feet. Keep an eye out for Beluga whales chasing salmon in the bay or Dall sheep along the highway. A great stop for lunch is the Alyeska Ski Resort/Girdwood. Here you can take the tram up Mt. Alyeska (optional). Another interesting stop is Portage Glacier and its interesting visitor centre. In Seward we suggest a visit to Exit Glacier and the SeaLife Centre.
Day 2 Seward with Northwestern Fjord Cruise (Cruise)
Today we have arranged for you to take an all-day Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise. Travel farther into Kenai Fjords National Park than with any other cruise and visit the magnificent Northwestern Fjord, home to three amazing tidewater glaciers and numerous alpine glaciers. Kenai Fjords National Park boasts abundant wildlife, alpine and tidewater glaciers and breathtaking scenery. This cruise is the best way to see this pristine National Park and its inhabitants. Also, visit the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, an island home to teeming seabird rookeries. Don't miss this opportunity to see the untouched beauty of Alaska's coastal waters. (A continental breakfast & deli-style lunch is included onboard)
Day 3 Seward to Homer (270 km / 168 mi)
Continue your self-drive journey and follow the Sterling Highway - a designated scenic highway covering miles of spectacular landscape with snow-capped mountains and its many active volcanoes known as the "Ring of Fire" with Mt. Iliamna, Mt. Redoubt and Mt. Augustine, deep ocean bluffs, excellent salmon fishing opportunities along the Kenai River and a magnificent coastline. Homer is blessed with a view to the south that is stunning in its beauty and grandeur. The rugged Kenai Mountains are spreading across the sparkling waters of Kachemak Bay. Homer is also known as a great fishing hole. King Salmon may be caught here from May to June, while Silver Salmon run during August. Halibut - large as a barn size door - are available from May - September.
Day 4 Homer - Free Day
The "Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea" and "The Halibut fishing capital of the World" - there must be something truly special about a town with so many nicknames. From the first breathtaking glimpse of the Homer Spit from the Sterling Highway coming into town, visitors to Homer are struck by the awesome natural stage on which the little city sits. The looming peaks of the Kenai Mountains, packed with ancient glaciers and brimming with abundant wildlife, stand sentry over Kachemak Bay. Few towns have the culinary variety of Homer where there are coffee bars on nearly every corner next to gourmet sandwich shops and fine restaurants so atypical of small-town Alaska. The art galleries, along with museums, a live theatre and music venues give credence to Homer being the cultural capital of south-central Alaska.
Day 5 Homer to Cooper Landing (193 km/120 mi)
Leave Homer for a scenic drive to Ninilchik - the oldest settlement on the Kenai Peninsula. The Russian-American Company established Ninilchik in the 1820s for its elderly employees, who could not endure the long journey back to Russia. Other settlers soon congregated there, and in 1901 they constructed the community's Russian Orthodox Church. Continue to Cooper Landing - located at the world famous Kenai and Russian River and enjoy a two-hour float trip on the Upper Kenai River. Have your camera ready as you keep a keen watch for moose, eagles, Dall sheep, salmon and bears as your guide navigates you through the snow-capped mountain scenery. The tour ends on the shores of a glacier-carved lake within the heart of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
Day 6 Cooper Landing to Girdwood (106 km / 66 mi) with Glacier Dog Sledding Heli Tour
Drive east on the Sterling Highway and then north on the Seward Highway to reach Girdwood. Girdwood is the home of the only 5-star resort in Alaska - the Hotel Alyeska. In the afternoon, experience dog sledding on a glacier. Enjoy a scenic helicopter flight to the unique glacier base camp that serves as a summertime training ground for Iditarod sled dogs. Learn about mushing and hold adorable puppies while the team is prepared. Then take a scenic ride along a spectacular 3.25km glacier trail.
Day 7 Girdwood to Anchorage (62 km / 38mi)
Continuing towards Anchorage, you will be able to view the magnificent scenery back to the Kenai Peninsula across Turnagain Arm. If you like, there is a great walking area in Potter Point Park along the ocean. Keep an eye out for beluga whales making their way towards the Cook Inlet or for Dall sheep combing the mountainsides. Upon arrival in Anchorage your self-drive ends.

The thought of IKEA brings up complex emotions in many of us. On the one hand, their furniture is affordable and reasonably attractive, and always seems to fit that spot where you need a shelf. On the other hand, wandering aimlessly through their giant stores is a special kind of retail hell, their furniture tends to fall apart too fast, and, oh, they've been accused of doing strange and devious things like spying on their employees. Well, now comes another dark truth about the makers of the beloved Billy bookcase. A documentary for Swedish public television is charging that, back in the time before the Berlin Wall fell, IKEA used East German political prisoners to manufacture some of its furniture.
The retailer allegedly worked hand-in-hand with the Stasi, East Germany's hated secret police, and it was in Stasi files where evidence of IKEA's using political prisoners in manufacturing was found. Yikes. Of course, this happened back in the 1970s and 80s, and the IKEA of today says it is deeply troubled by these allegations. They're conducting an investigation, but a spokeswoman said, "So far there are no indications that we would have asked prisoners to be used in manufacturing or known about it." However, last year a documentary for German television leveled similar allegations against the company, saying that inmates, including political prisoners, in several East German prisons were used to make IKEA furniture, including at one factory that was built right next to a prison where they produced their famous "Klippan" sofa. That certainly makes the thought of buying one—or even sitting on one—significantly less appealing.

Like it or not, dating has gone digital. Twelve million people in the United States used over 100 online dating websites in 2008, and those numbers are only growing: Industry analysts expect that the Internet dating service market will grow from $900 million a year in consumer spending in 2007 to $1.9 billion in 2012.
Even more promising? It's not just a money pit. An online survey of 7000 recently married people found that 17 percent of respondents met their spouses online. And another survey of 1,500 unmarried people in committed relationships found 20 percent had met their current girlfriend or boyfriend online.
If you've already committed to a dating website, be sure to check out our online dating pointers for tips on how to improve your odds. But if you're still new to the game, be forewarned that not all sites are created equal—some are free, some are for religious purposes, and some are downright sleazy.
That's why we signed up for 8 of the most talked-about dating websites in the market and did the heavy lifting, soul searching, and message fielding—so you don't have to. Read on to see which service meets your dating needs the best. It's the first step to maximizing your chances at finding love.
Chemistry.com is a "sister site" to Match.com. What sets it apart is its hyper-intense science-based matching algorithm, designed by Helen Fisher, Ph.D., a biological anthropologist and the site's chief scientific advisor. Based on your answers, chemistry.com gives you a personality title—for example, Director, Negotiator, Builder, Explorer—and from there, you're matched with others who should be good matches, based on scientific research.
Based on my unprofessional opinion, this is the most valuable personality test of all the dating websites. Boy, what an effort, but it is worth it.
Best for: Singles over 35, and those who care deeply about relationship science. Additionally, Chemistry.com seems to be positioning itself as an attractive alternative to those rejected by eHarmony.com—typically, those interested in same-sex relationships. EHarmony does not match same-sex couples, but in February 2010, chemistry.com celebrated Telluride's Gay Ski Week.
Question philosophy: The questionnaire takes upwards of an hour to complete, and asks you confusing, multiple-choice, and occasionally repetitive questions about your level of adventurousness or your need for space. Some questions are even stranger—for instance, men are shown four pictures of hands, and asked to tell which one looks most like their own. The reason is tricky—relative finger length has been linked to testosterone exposure in the womb. (It's a scientific way of asking if you're aggressive.)
User base: From the About Us page: "Take the test that over 8,000,000 people worldwide have already taken." Of course, this doesn't mean all of those singles are active members . . .
Date began: 2006
1 month: $49.95
3 months: $33.32/month
6 months: $26.65/month
Like most other sites, you can sign up for free and have access to basic services—receive a personality review, view photos and profiles, and receive personalized matches. However, to communicate with these matches—or to see who's been looking at your profile—you need to sign up.
EHarmony.com depends heavily on its matching system, which is constantly revised by a team of scientists. They rely so heavily on this system, in fact, that there is no search function on the site. You may not message any user deemed incompatible by the algorithm. Until recently, you couldn't even see the pictures of those with whom you did match. The greatest benefit to this pay-only service is the corollary to these perceived flaws: They do all the work for you (and you can just about trust they've done their work correctly).
Best for: Heterosexual people looking for marriage or serious relationships.
Question philosophy: Users must endure a questionnaire that takes the longest of all the sites—over an hour—and asks a range of questions that include everything from what your partner ethnicity preferences are to how much money you make. In the end, you can be rejected without explanation.
Side note: This author has been rejected, twice. And so has our Girl Next Door.
User base: About 20 million. About 15,000 people fill out the survey every day.
Date began: 2000
Cost: Because I was deemed unsuitable for any of eHarmony's matches, I could not verify the cost of admission—but, according to About.com, it's one of the highest of all major dating sites.
1 month: $59.95
3 months: $119.85
6 months: $179.70
12 months: $239.40
JDate.com is known for catering specifically to people of Jewish faith or heritage looking for love, but it isn't exclusive to Jewish members. It doesn't have a very extensive matching algorithm, but it does have a loyal following.
Best for: People of the Jewish faith or of Jewish heritage, or those seeking a Jewish mate, typically for long-term, serious relationships.
Question philosophy: The matching algorithm is limited to questions about religious practices and beliefs and ethnicity. The rest is left up to you to describe yourself freely. As such, the only criteria by which you can match yourself with singles is through religion, and from that cipher you can sift through profiles, one by one, for the personalized essay-style information.
User base: JDate lets you see how many members are online. At any given time you might see 12,000-15,000 members.
Date began: 1997
Cost: The free sign-up allows you to post a profile, search for members, reply to instant messages, send (but not receive) a variety of "flirts" (like the myriad of "pokes" that Facebook offers)—and (bonus!) lets you see who has looked at your profile.
The premium service has more options for communication: email, chat, and an internal instant messaging service. It also includes the ability to highlight your profile (further customization for eye-catching ability) and features you more often as a match for other members.
3 months: $29.99/month
6 months: $19.99/month
6 months: $21.99/month (premium)
Lavalife.com allows you to post three different profiles at one time, answering different questions for each of them. How is this useful? Lavalife has three different sections: Dating, Relationships, and Intimate Encounters. You are allowed full anonymity to pursue who you want, how you want. From a features standpoint, this website blows the others out of the water. They offer a huge slew of communication options, including chat and instant messaging, e-mail, smiles, sharing of private photo galleries, video greetings, and phone calls made through the site.
For the sheer variety of interaction possibilities, from different profiles, in different sections, across different platforms and mediums, this website is a panoply of discussion. It is almost impossible not to get your message across to whomever you want it to reach.
Best for: Anyone willing to pay for a huge range of features or anyone who wants more than one type of relationship to pursue.
Question philosophy: For the free signup (the first step) there's only the nitty-gritty (height, body type, ethnicity, religion, smoking habits and drinking habits, and so on). But, as mentioned above, you're allowed to create three separate profiles and answer questions differently for each based on your intentions.
User base: There's speculation that the site hosts over 5 million users.
Date began: 1987
1 month: $34.99/mo
3 months: $18.99/mo
Match.com is the first, largest, and most global dating website. The primary means of communication are e-mail, wink, and call. The call feature is unique to Match: It allows users to call one another using dummy numbers on their real telephones. When you don't want someone to call you anymore, you simply remove her from your phone book. Also notable: Match is one of the few cellphone-friendly dating sites. In case the date you're on isn't working out, you don't have to wait until you're home to check out other singles.
Best for: Those who are serious about online dating or who only want to browse but never actually connect. The free site allows you to look at others' pictures and wink, but it doesn't offer a message center or mailbox. In short, it's not worth it for those who don't pay, especially when there are so many more comprehensive free sites available.
Question philosophy: Match asks basic lifestyle compatibility questions: what you look like, what movies, music, and books you enjoy, your religious and educational background, your occupation (and income), and your ethnicity. This allows users to discriminate their matches based on hyper-specific and self-selected criteria: If you only wanted hazel-eyed, Middle Eastern Christians, for instance, so be it!
User base: Projections put this population at over 20 million. However, recent figures show that there are only about 1.35 million paying subscribers, which means that many of the "matches" suggested might not be people who can read or reply to your messages. In fact, a recent complaint filed in the US District Court, Southern District of New York, read: "Match misleads paying subscribers by charging them for the ability to write e-mails to members who can't reply to their e-mails or even read them." Not exactly a glowing review.
Date began: April 1995
1 month: $39.99
3 months: $22.99/month
There are two options for the 6-month plan: $19.99/month and $20.99/month. For the extra dollar, you can receive notifications that your email was read, your profile will show up more often in matches, and your profile gets some nice customizable features to help it stand out (like colorized banners).
OkCupid.com is almost entirely free, with a small cost for luxury options, like a specialty search mechanism and removal of ads. The site employs a mathematical algorithm based on your answers to a series of questions, and based on that algorithm they tell you what percentage match, friend, and enemy you are with any given user. The most stand-out feature for the site is the staff blog. The blog posts analyze their massive user base and provide extremely helpful tips for how to increase your odds at online dating. Recently they even began offering a service called MyBestFace, which analyzes the pictures you have posted and tells you which one will generate the most responses.
Best for: Anyone looking for best value, transparency, and extremely tailored search capabilities.
Question philosophy: While there is a general set of staff questions that you must answer to complete your profile, the most interesting aspect of OkCupid is its Web2.0 approach to compatibility: Staff questions establish the basics (who are you physically, mentally, and emotionally, and who are you looking for along those same criteria), but the user-generated questions provide answers that you personally care about. These range from the basic informational, "Are you vegan, vegetarian, or meat-eater?" to the strange hypothetical, "Imagine that your significant other has a fantasy that cannot be fulfilled with you for anatomical reasons. Would you encourage them to go elsewhere to fulfill it if it involved sex with another?" Moreover, you can rate the importance of how your matches answer any given question: You can say that you are vegan, but that you care minimally whether your partner eats meat, for instance.
User base: A little over 1.2 million.
Date began: 2004
Cost: Free
Almost every compilation of dating websites includes plentyoffish.com (or POF, as it is referred to in its forums). Notable features include the heavily-trafficked forums, the usual compatibility questionnaires, and the rarely free, much-loved "Who's Seen Me" button. A New York Times article extolling the site said the look and feel of the site, ". . . has some unfinished patches and irritating quirks and seems to come from the Anti-Perfectionist School of Design." The same article describes spending time on the website as "a visually painful experience" thanks mostly to problems with site organization, picture sizing and resolution.
Best for: Anyone who is looking for a cheap fix—think of this site as the MySpace to OkCupid's Facebook. It's definitely one of the best deals on the Internet, with free access to such a large and bustling community—but the website is not for anyone who cares about site design.
Question philosophy: PlentyOfFish has a matching system that is based on questions designed to measure five broad categories that impact compatibility: self-confidence, family orientation, self-control, openness, and how easygoing you are. As the disclaimers preceding your personalized results point out, it's not that you need to score "high" in each category. (By the way, it's worth joining this free site just for the personality test and insight into your compatibility profile.) The site emphasizes chemistry between profiles "based on decades of empirical research in the social sciences."
User base: About 600,000, with older, inactive accounts purged every few months.
Date began: 2003
Cost: Free
True.com's purpose is to provide a safe online environment, so it conducts background checks on all its users, focusing on criminal records and whether or not you are married and trying to use the site for affairs. For example, by checking against a criminal database, any user who has a U.S. felony or sexual offense conviction is prevented from communicating with other members.
Best for: People who want to know what they are getting into. This includes the cautious as well as the paranoid.
Question philosophy: Whatever the question, you'd better answer honestly. They are known for prosecuting people who misrepresent themselves under the pretense that doing so constitutes wire fraud. Compared to "Are you a convicted sex offender?" questions like, "What do you like to do in your free time?" seem out of place. However, the site does set itself apart (for better or worse) thanks to its ubiquitously risqué advertising on social sites like MySpace ("It's nice to be naughty") and its equally charged quizzes on sex, sexuality, and sexual preferences.
User base: An independent analysis form the New York Times estimates 3.8 million unique visits per month, and the founder, Herb Vest, claims 16 million use the site.
Date began: 2003
Cost: Joining is free, but it only allows you to see what you're missing. If you want to communicate with others, you'll have to pay.
1 month: $49.99
3 months: $79.99
6 months: $129.99

There's also four-person face recognition, CCD-shift anti-shake compensation, a 1-cm macro mode and lots of "easy" presets that make the camera do automatic leveling of contrast and sharpness in the images it takes.

§31-2-17. Selling railroad scrap metal.
(a) As used in this section:
(1) "Company" is a railroad carrier as defined in section twenty-eight, article three, chapter sixty-one;
(2) "Railroad scrap metal" means any materials derived from railroad track, railroad track material, worn or used links, pins, journal bearings, or other worn, used, or detached appendages of railroad equipment or railroad track;
(3) "Purchaser" means any person in the business of purchasing railroad scrap metal, any salvage yard owner or operator, any public or commercial recycling facility owner or operator and any agent or employee thereof, or other individual or entity who purchase any form of railroad scrap metal;
(4) "Confusion of goods" means the intended mixture of similar railroad scrap metal done purposely by the purchaser without authorization of right or title to the railroad scrap metal.
(b) Only a duly authorized individual, agent, officer or employee of a company may sell or dispose of railroad scrap metal owned by the company. Any sale or disposition of railroad scrap metal made by any unauthorized individual is void: Provided, That the purchaser knowingly purchased company railroad scrap metal.
(c) All sales or disposition of company railroad scrap metal must:
(1) Be in quantities equal to or greater than one ton;
(2) Be accompanied by a bill of sale or other written evidence of authorization to sell the railroad scrap metal, a copy of which shall be retained by the purchaser and the duly authorized seller of railroad scrap metal; and,
(3) Comply with other lawful requirements regarding the sale and purchase of railroad scrap metal.
(d) If a duly authorized individual sells or disposes of railroad scrap metal in quantities less than one ton, or without delivering a bill of sale or other written evidence of authorization from the company for sale or disposition of railroad scrap metal to the purchaser, the company shall not thereafter be entitled to the benefit of subsections (g) through (i) of this section.
(e) Before knowingly acquiring railroad scrap metal the purchaser shall attempt to ascertain the lawful ownership thereof, whether by evidence of a bill of sale from the company, or other form of written authorization from the company for sale or disposition of railroad scrap metal to the purchaser.
(f) In any civil action where the company claims to be the rightful owner of railroad scrap metal in the possession of a purchaser, the company may, in addition to any other relief to which the company may be entitled, seek an immediate order from the court to physically preserve any railroad scrap metal which is the subject of the suit, and any other metals with which they may have been confused, while the suit is pending.
(g) In a civil action regarding rightful possession and ownership of railroad scrap metal, if the purchaser cannot produce the bill of sale or other written evidence of authorization to sell the railroad scrap metal, the court shall presume that the subject railroad scrap metal was unlawfully taken from the company.
(h) The purchaser claiming ownership of the railroad scrap metal in controversy may rebut this presumption and prove a lawful right or title to the subject railroad scrap metal, but in the absence of adequate proof, the company shall be held to be the general owner of the subject railroad scrap metal, and shall be entitled to immediate possession of the railroad scrap metal in controversy.
(i) If the court finds that any portion, or all of the railroad scrap metal in controversy was unlawfully obtained by the purchaser, and mixed or confused with other railroad scrap metal, it shall be deemed a confusion of goods. In the case of a confusion of goods, the purchaser loses any right in all mixed railroad scrap metal unless the railroad scrap metal can be identified and separated among the company and the purchaser.
(j) In a civil action regarding rightful possession and ownership of railroad scrap metal, if the court finds that the purchaser knowingly purchased company railroad scrap metal and failed to attempt to ascertain that the person selling the railroad scrap metal had a legal right to do so, the court shall award the company costs and attorneys fees related to that action.

NHGOP chair in full control after internal meeting
A move that would have weakened power of the newly elected state Republican Party chair was thwarted in a closed-door meeting Monday night.
Piecing together what happened in the Concord gathering of more than 30 members of the party's executive committee, it appears that chair Jennifer Horn emerged fully in charge and able to do what she wants, unlike some chairs before her.
The previous two state Republican chairs were forced to either resign or not run for re-election for different reasons. WMUR first reported more than a week ago that Horn was in a dispute with the party's elected treasurer, Dr. Robert Scott, of Newport. Scott argued that Horn should not be given the power to sign checks because she has an ongoing tax lien. He said the tax trouble would lead to increased insurance premiums.
When the party investigated the claim, this was apparently found not to be true. Some on the board have asked Scott to resign. He did not.
Last week, some very involved in the matter said this would be a situation that could only be resolved if either Horn or Scott were no longer in their position.
But Horn isn't resigning. Scott isn't resigning. Neither one has the votes on the board to remove the other. It would be a stalemate, but the reality is that now Horn basically proved she has the power to do what she wants in terms of the management of staff and money. She'll be writing checks if she wants.
The party will hold its first major fundraiser in May.
