Located along Zhongfei Southern Road in the city's ASEAN Business District, the Sheraton Nanning Hotel is just 45 minutes from the Nanning Wuxu Airport (NNG).
While Nanning means "South Tranquility," the city is also referred to as the "Green City" due to its lush tropical foliage. Discover the verdant landscape for yourself at Nanhu Lake Park—or climb the stone steps at Nanning People's Park and enjoy a breathtaking view from the city's highest point. Take a peek inside the park's century-old gun emplacement and discover its iron cannon before heading back down.

Also nearby, Mount Qingxiu boasts evergreens, unique stones, pristine springs, and cultural relics while Yiling Cave—an exquisite, ancient karst cave—offers insight into the history and traditions of the Zhuang people.
For an in-depth glimpse into the region's past, visit Guangxi Museum, which hosts China's largest collection of ancient bronze drums. The museum also contains more than 50,000 artefacts, including thousands of books. For even more local culture, head next door to the Guangxi Ethnic Relics Center, which is home to characteristic architecture and handcrafts. Additionally, the center's various restaurants offer myriad native tastes. Or, take a stroll around Yangmei Ancient Town.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Norfolk's light-rail line has exceeded expectations for ridership in its first six months of operation.
The Virginian-Pilot reports (http://bit.ly/zBV2zv ) that the light-rail line averages about 4,600 riders on weekdays. Hampton Roads Transit had forecast that there would be about 2,900 weekday riders.
Since it opened on Aug. 19, nearly 750,000 trips have been taken on the transit system known as The Tide. The light-rail line is more than 7 miles long and goes from downtown Norfolk to the Virginia Beach border.
Hampton Roads Transit President and CEO Philip Shucet forecasts that The Tide will hit its 20-year projection of 7,200 daily rides within three years.

Bill Gross fears our borrowing could doom us
The bond king is worried that massive credit expansion -- not just deficit spending -- is a threat to the global economy. His advice includes buying hard assets like gold.
The problem the managing director of PIMCO sees is that the domestic economy is going to be suffocated by debt. Not just government debt. But by consumer debt and corporate debt as well.
The result will be that everyone will be working just to service their debts, and the economy won't grow. Everything will just stall out.
That's what he told readers of his popular Investment Outlook essay, released this week.
Actually, he uses T.S. Eliot's famous lines from "The Hollow Men" to focus the point:
This is the way the world ends…
Not with a bang but a whimper.
This isn't an articulation of an anti-liberal point of view. It is the point of view of a bond guy concerned that real interest rates are too low and suggest a dysfunctional financial system.
Moreover, in Gross' view, the modern banking system is set up to produce inflation and generate real threats to the economy. Hence the title "Credit Supernova!"
If you deposit money in a bank, the bank keeps some of the money as a reserve and lends the rest out. The borrower, in turn, deposits the money he's been loaned, and the money gets loaned out again. The process repeats itself again and again. That's how money gets created and an economy expands.
Until the system gets out of control with way too much borrowing. Which is where Gross thinks it's headed.
The modern banking system in the United States and elsewhere moved through a period of self-sustaining credit to speculative credit expansion and now is into what the late economist Hyman Minsky called Ponzi finance. That's where everyone needs additional credit just to cover increasingly burdensome interest payments, with accelerating inflation the end result.
More important, in Minsky's view, the banking system encourages so much speculation that the result is ruinous boom-and-bust cycles.
Partly that's because the economy has actually grown (as has the global economy). But he sees the bigger problem as just ridiculous expansion of all forms of debt. The U.S. economy has seen the percentage of lending going to productive forms of investment dropping to around 15% of GDP from 21% or so in 2000.
Gross doesn't offer much in the way of how to stop the drift to Ponzi finance. He also concedes the end is not yet nigh.
But he offers some thoughts on what investors might do:
- Protect yourself against inflation with securities like Treasury inflation-protected securities.
- Get used to slower real growth.
- Invest in global securities with stable cash flows.
- Dump financial assets in favor of hard assets. "Gold, other commodities, anything that can't be reproduced as fast as credit."
- Make sure you understand your property rights in any country where you invest.
- Appreciate what Gross calls the "supernova" character of the existing credit system. It will morph into something else.
I'm not sure I buy everything Bill Gross says. He seems to echo what a bond investor might have said in the late 1970s. Don't get me wrong, however. He is a very smart and successful man.
The catalyst that will set off a wild round of inflation is not yet apparent. I suspect if job growth accelerates rapidly, inflation pressures will reappear. Another catalyst might be an an eruption in energy costs as growth in the global economy takes off. A third would be chaos around oil and gas fields in the Middle East and Africa.
More on moneyNOW
Barry and company are waiting for someone to find the "National Treasure" to bail them out. There are sooooo many factors that are aligned against us. We are soooooo screwed and all the washington crown want to do is make political hay. The debt level is unsustainable and barry just wants more without even talking about cuts. If I didn't know better I swear he is intentionally trying to bankrupt the country and force a revolution so he can impose Martial Law and do anything and everything he wants without anyone being able to stop him.
"Change you can believe in"
I share your fears. I don't see an easy way out either. Of course there will be change; I just hope it doesn't involve pain. The old system is breaking down and I think trying to exactly recreate it as it was before 2009 isn't the answer. The old ways are dying. Banking as it is done today is archaic. The "Volker Revolution" supply side debt driven liberalization of markets is sputtering. I am a supply-sider but it isn't happening presently as all things stand. That China line is insightful and yes why would they keep the debt cycle going with ever cheapened dollars. Sure the QE's are strategic, better we own the debt, better to make US bonds unattractive so they are cheaper and easier for Treasury to buy and carry. Short term US government debt has to be paid. As a side effect it is propping up a broken debt system. Why not change a few rules, does it need to be another two by four across our heads before we say ah shucks that didn't work.
I support the QE's but obviously that is not an answer into itself. The investor side is too efficient and there needs to be some faction applied and a power shift back to the consumer sector to provide more balance in the credit debt cycle. Remember E 101, one sector always tries to gain efficiencies at the expense of the other, it's the law. I think, better the tinkering now as the investor sector ascends then later when it free falls. A clue to what real economists are thinking is the US corporations are holding on to assets. Why in the world would you go into any market just to get back less in real terms, remember Bill Gross's commit about to many pick pockets in the US market?
The Federal government 2.8 trillion each year in 2008 today OBAMA's "budget", if he had one, or spending is 3.8 trillion. They claim we don't have a spending problem! And they say the deficit is caused by the Iraq/Afg war and prescription drug bill of Bush. If, may I remind people, the Democrast said the prescription drug bill was TOO SMALL! Remmber the donut hole? Even at that the program costs less than 80 billion each year. And the Wars cost less than 100 billion each year. SO these lying BASTrds say Obama's 1.3 trillion annual deficits are caused by Bush. How long can we borrow 1.3 trillion each year? This is Obama's plan! You say no it is not? Well, what is his plan? And look at his ten year projections. HIs projections show him adding 8 to 10 trillion in debt over the next ten years.
AND you woted for this disaster!!!! Your children are screwed, whether on welfare or looking for a real life. Obama has screwed us all. But blame Bush.
I am seeing one drag on the credit/debt swap is the the debt side has invented a few debt expansion instruments (self contained wealth expansion mechs) that is eating up a % of wealth outside normal or healthy expansion and so when the credits are being given back to the savers(consumer investments) they are at an inflated rate relative to real value. That net drag weakens the consumer sectors ability to give back those credits at an equal value given. Either the debt side needs to more realistically reflect value in the swap or a productivity spike on the consumer side to make up the deference. I think the former is easier to do at this juncture. Maybe look outside the US to seek out more equitable debt/credit trades. The QE is making up the difference but hey...
These Liberal (their market view) pundits dare not breath this as they drone on about the (necessary under current market realities) QE's.
It dosen't matter anyway. Noblaba will simply cut down more trees and convert the leaves to worthless greenbacks.
Think about it. There isn't enough gold here in the US to cover all of the green notes out there now. What's the difference whether Noblaba just orders the Treasury to print more money?
In fact, why dosen't (since fiscal responsibility dosen't fly here anymore) Noblaba just have the treasury print enough money to quash the 16 TRILLION that WE ALL ARE IN DEBT TO???
Simple solutions people....Like I said.
Just saying...

Child Gender and Parental Borrowing: Evidence from India
AbstractThe unequal treatment of children is not gender neutral from the parent side. Our results show that women try to compensate through debt for the unbalanced situation faced by their daughters compared to their sons. However, the lack of symmetry between mothers' and fathers' financial situations leads to the perpetuation of gender inequality through generations.

Of magazine covers
While Rabia Butt & Sarwat Gillani grace the covers of XPoz'e monthly & G.L.A.M. magazine respectively, HELLO! Pakistan has gone the unconventional route this time round by featuring some of the hottest Pakistani sportsmen on its January cover. We're sad for not getting to see one of those statuesque ladies on HELLO! this time (See earlier ones here & here ). Besides we feel it did little justice to these heartthrobs and the HELLO! Awards that were all the rage on social media this past week.
On a comparative scale, we're more inclined towards XPoz'e s cover , however there were other shots from this Ali Xeeshan photoshoot that would have made better picks. (like the last picture below). With this one the model seems too diffused into the background.
Sarwat's wearing Misha Lakhani on the cover with the make-up by Rukaya Adamjee and Adeela Badshah's photography. So Pretty !
Now onto the golden question – HELLO! , XPoz'e or GLAM ?

QUINCY, MI (WTVB) - In Branch County high school sports last night, in a boy's basketball cross county matchup we had on the radio, Coldwater rallied in the second half for a 39-to-36 win at Quincy. The host Orioles were up 16-to-10 at halftime and the Cardinals still trailed 25-to-19 after three quarters before they outscored Quincy 20-to-11 in the final period for the 3-point victory.
Ryan Mock, who came off the bench for the Cardinals to score 7 points, including 4 clutch free throws down the stretch, was our McDonald's Player of the Game for Coldwater. Jordan Eddy had a game high 15 points for the Cardinals.
Our Player of the Game for Quincy was Michael Tesch, who finished with 4 points and had a team-high 6 rebounds. Jimmy King and Ashton Diotte scored nine points apiece for the Orioles, who slips to 0-and-3 while the Cardinal's record is Coldwater Coach Brien Kelly said defense dictated the outcome of the game
Quincy returns to action tomorrow night with their Big Eight Conference opener at Reading while Coldwater will also be on the road, playing Friday night at Kalamazoo Loy Norrix.

The Lady Cardinals won the second half 22-to-19 but it wasn't anywhere near enough to stop Bronson from posting its fourth straight victory to improve to 4-and-1 while Coldwater drops to 1-and-2.
Kylei Ratkowski had a game-high 21 points for Bronson while Kenzie Galloway led Coldwater with 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 steals.

Via: Reuters | News Archive | Tags: WiFi, Internet, Free, McDonald's
Great move by McDonalds! This will give them an advantage over other fast food restaurants.
Starbucks should have done this years ago.
I agree Gibber and with as many locations as they have the coverage availability map is guagantuan
while they make you pay in starbucks for wifi, I'm loving it free wifi that would mean that you don't need to use your 3g or 4g for you laptops anymore. to bad that this country you cannot get a plan for your mobile that is not unlimited....
imagine this a 300mb/monthly use for data on cell phone. you spend most of your time using work wifi, home wifi and like mcdonalds wifi. you really would not use that 300mb in a month make sense?
Caribou coffee has free wifi. I'm just saying it would make a lot of sense for a coffee shop like Starbucks to have free wifi.
The only downside to free wifi is that customers might spend extra time in your coffee shop sitting and browsing the internet. McDonalds doesn't have that problem as much because students usually don't go to McDonalds to study like they do at Starbucks.
Very true Gibber but everyone can use extra business. The added points of connection seem to just go up and up today. Oh and the reason they want you to sit in your coffee shop is because they will buy extra stuff. Think about who was first with free wifi the giant book stores in there coffee shops. Of course those establishments have a whole not more merchandise on site. Either way I remember years ago bars and noble had it on the north side of atlanta stores years back now.
Plus in a store like that where it is centered in the coffee shop you could most likely use G which is cheap and might even be able to get away with Wireless A for as much area as you need to cover at least with some repeaters.
And McDonalds' coffee is 69¢ for whatever size you order (though why would you order anything but the large?). If you can put up with the panhandlers and the screaming kids, you have a great deal going.
And their coffee is very underrated. Screaming kids is another reason McDonald's customer seating turnover rate is high.
@rapid1 You know, I never thought about it like that. Anything that keeps your customers in the store longer will equal more sales. Free wifi would make a lot more sense in a bookstore coffee shop. So B&N used to have free wifi at one point? Hmmm, wonder why they changed that.
Well gibbersome I imagine it will go back to free especially as it becomes more present in the market. Micky d's having it worldwide will be a very large proponent to more free wifi everywhere because of there numbers location wise. So if the Micky D's which I can almost guarantee is most likely within a half mile of any mall or strip mall where a barns and noble would exist it would be kinda retro effecting for them to charge as they would loose customers to the free wifi up the street. Plus Wireless N has such a range that at many places you'd see both networks I bet. I know the B&N I was referring to has both a BK a movie Theater and a Mickey D's with 100 yards of there door.
The free wifi is only in most US stores. I don't know if they have a plan to extend this service worldwide anytime soon.
I agree though, with McD's free wifi, the coverage will extend to alot of Malls...and parking lots, lol. With Ipod Touch's and Wifi-enabled smartphones, there's a growing sector of the market that will appreciate free internet.
Free wifi is no longer the sole province of laptops!
Big Macs and FREE WIFI, two great things bundled together. Soon everyone will be trying to draw people in with free WIFI that you can just relax in your recliner and have many options for free internet. I need to start working on a big wheel to spin when I want to pick which hot spot I wanna log into. HAHAHAHA.
Lol, it might be even good to live right next door to a MacDonalds!
Greasy food + a notebook = Nightmare....Can't say I'd start going there for the wifi. Especially since someone was robbed last semester for their McDonalds, in one of the school parking lots, don't think I'd want my laptop there anytime soon.
True, but the trend is wifi-enabled smart phones and media players like Ipod Touch are becoming a lot more popular. MacDonalds is seeing this trend develop and is perhaps positioning themselves to take full advantage of it. It's not just about laptops anymore.
Yup, make sure that you bring your wet naps to clean those greasy paws!
Or you could just go there for coffee. The tables at my local McD's are clean enough for my laptop.
and they actually have decent coffee.
yeah my McDonald's is clean and they are generally centralized and convenient as well as everywhere that's the main point I am making about the coverage.
is that on the dollar menu?
I'll take a Big Mac,large frie,Sweet ice tea and oh ya some free WiFi.
Update: No Wifi in Philadelphia McDonalds (the ones I've been at ) as of 1/28/2010.

MANSFIELD, La. (AP) - DeSoto Parish Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle says a jailer has been arrested after admitted to fondling a female inmate.
Arbuckle says 50-year-old Robert Smith, of Logansport, was booked Thursday with malfeasance for having prohibited sexual conduct with a person in custody.
The sheriff tells The Times Smith's arrest stems from a grievance filed Monday by the inmate to the corrections chief.
Smith, who returned to work Tuesday, was placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. The sheriff says only one inmate was involved.
Smith was hired in 2008 as a corrections officer. He posted a $7,500 bond and was released from jail.
It was unclear whether Smith has an attorney.

Gibson, Dobby
Adult Nonfiction PS3607.I266 S54 2009
Summary: New poetry by Dobby Gibson, author of Polar , which "teems with a language so alive and so imaginative that one cannot help but read on with wonder and rapture" ( The Bloomsbury Review ) We have to escape while we can. I'm trying to remember you--quick, now you try to remember me. --from "Refuge" With sheer wit and keen observation, Dobby Gibson's Skirmish puts into conflict the private and public self, civil disobedience and civic engagement, fortunes told and fortunes made. These poems imaginatively, sometimes manically, move from perception to perception with the speed of a mind forced moment by moment to make sense of distant war and local unrest, global misjudgment and suspicious next-door neighbors, the splice-cuts of the media and the gliding leaves on the Mississippi River.

"I still think the Superkick is the best finisher ever. It was just so good. There's so many [favorites]. I think Antonio Cesaro's finish right now is cool. I always loved the Piledriver, so an adaptation of the Piledriver is very awesome to me. I've always loved submission holds, so I love the Sharpshooter, that sort of thing. I love Dean Malenko's Cloverleaf. The things that I never really liked as finishers were the stuff that was wacky, stuff like the Von Erichs, who did the Tornado Punch, you know what I mean? The Ultimate Warrior, even though he was my favorite as a kid, had the Press Slam, and then he'd hit the ropes a couple of times and give 'em the Big Splash, the Hulk Hogan Legdrop, stuff like that was all stuff where I was just like, 'Eh.' To be fair, I honestly always hated the Rock Bottom. To me, it was just like, 'Uh, that's weird and stupid.'"
- Daniel Bryan discussing finishing moves and how he hates the one used by Rock
Japanese star Kenta Kobayashi, the wrestler who made the Go 2 Sleep finisher internationally famous, could be signed to a developmental deal with WWE soon. He was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center, where he was given a tryout by officials.
While Daniel Bryan was able to dish out a lot of punishment towards his foe, it was Bray Wyatt that stood victoriously at the end of their match at Royal Rumble 2014. Wyatt got the pin fall victory after nail his finisher twice, once of which was done outside the ring.
While he doesn't get to show it off very often on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, Jinder Mahal does actually have a finishing move. It's the camel clutch submission, and it has been recreated in the new WWE 2K14 video game.
It now appears that WWE definitely wants to get a deal done with Stacy Keibler, as the company is hoping that she will make her return at Wrestlemania 30 and play a part in the pay per view. Some believe that she could be utilized as a backstage interviewer that night.
Rumors are running rampant that Stacy Keibler is returning to WWE. She recently met with Stephanie McMahon at a VH1 event in New York City. A lucrative offer was reportedly made to the former diva, and there's a good chance that she accepts the deal before Wrestlemania 30.
The NFL and VH1 have hired Stacy Keibler and Nick Cannon to host a series of concerts leading up to the Super Bowl, which is being held at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey this year. The game will be played on February 2, 2014.
Former WWE diva Stacy Keibler is filming an episode of the hit sitcom, How I Met Your Mother.

Dissected Maps by Jeff Woodbury
Woodbury on his project:
I have always had maps around. I grew up in a military family and my father, among other things, made maps. Even after I left home I traveled, and maps offer both plans and dreams. The concept of the map is one of humanity's earliest and greatest inventions - and one of our densest ways of storing and managing information.
I began dissecting maps in 1998. Tracing routes with a knife is similar to driving down a highway - most of what you're left with is the road itself and a narrow band of land on either side. By cutting away everything but the roads, a map ceases to be a 2-dimensional representation of reality and becomes an actual 3-dimensional thing…
Maps are generally cheap, and their value is predicated on their usefulness. When they become outdated we throw them away. By dissecting them, their use-value is destroyed by the loss of their function. But the use-value is replaced with aesthetic value, and with it a commensurate extension of the object's lifespan.

In practice, people just do a couple more dailies rather than go farm their own.
Maybe some people go farm their own, but for the most part people are very willing to pay extremely stupid prices on Arena Points Day to enchant their gear, or on We Just Killed Felmyst Day to get a new gem or enchant.
My sever has a fairly insane market, but it's vastly profitable if you're up for being a supplier or a smart reseller. Some days I can make upwards of 600-700g just by scanning the AH and buying underpriced things. I can't really be bothered to do dailies or farm primals, but I sure can find them on the AH from someone willing to undercut by more than the difference in the AH fees, so I make my money that way. I've got around 22k in the bank, but it's still fun to see how high the numbers can go...

It is almost two years into my current relationship, and in August, it will mark the fact that I've been alive for 21 (plus 9 months if you count womb time) years.
And it is now that I realize: People. Can't. Read. Minds.
I have always had a high level of tolerance, accompanying a lot of patience. Two traits that have treated me well throughout my years. Recently, I've found myself quite irritated at others, including those who I love dearly; mother, father, boyfriend - you name it. And it wasn't until then, when I realized that as much as I thought that they knew… They didn't because I did not tell them.
They couldn't read my mind - can you believe it? I mean, here I am, 20 years old, and it has finally dawned on me, that maybe I should tell them what it is that is bothering me. And then, maybe, I wouldn't be so annoyed.
As much as I would love that my boyfriend knew everytime I felt sad or irritated, I wanted him to just hug me without me telling him, or that my dad's footsteps across the halls are just a bit too loud… They won't know until I speak these specific thoughts.
And so I write this brief, but hopefully informational to the rest of ya'll. None of us can read each other mind's. And even if we had that ability, the world probably would be completely different (and I don't know if it'll be a good change..or a bad change).
i want to run away.

LYNN, Mass. (AP) — Commissioners at a Massachusetts cemetery have said no to profanity on headstones.
Sonny Santiago, 23, was a rapper who died in a car crash in February. Commissioners at Pine Grove Cemetery in Lynn this week unanimously rejected his family's request to inscribe his gravestone with a song verse that included profanity.
The commission became aware of the language when the company inscribing the 3-foot tall memorial submitted drawings to commissioners.
Pine Grove Cemetery regulations posted online state that "the cemetery office must approve all inscription work on monuments."
"We've never had a problem like this before," commission Chairman Arthur Dulong told The Daily Item of Lynn (http://bit.ly/10kALVH ).
City officials contacted the family about the inscription and they agreed to have the gravestone inscribed with a different, profanity-free verse from a song Santiago wrote, said Santiago's sister-in-law, Angela Ventola.
"Everything got changed," she said. "Those words are not going on."
The commission's dispute with Santiago's family is not over. The family added a 3-foot by 8-foot decoration made from mulch and rocks on his gravesite shaped like the number "1." Uno was his performance name.
The family has been asked to remove the decoration because it does not conform to cemetery rules.
Santiago's mother, Ana DeJesus, said the family will comply with the request — but she's not happy about it.
"I feel like we paid for the spot," she said. "We want to be with him. It's not fair."

Showing Blog-Posts in Activity when subscriped
I didnt find anything by using Google so I thought starting a new topic on here could help…
I am new to this and would like to have several news categories (e.g. sports, economy, travelling) on my BuddyPress. It should show news from every category on index.php but on the activity stream it should only show news from categories a user is suscriped to (when I am not subscribed to sports news I see them on index.php but not in my activity stream).
How do I realize this best? By using an own blog for each category or is it possible to realize it using the WordPress article system? Is there any plugin i can use?

Buzz about the government shutdown ending has some local business owners hoping National Parks and Recreation Areas like Lake Mead and Red Rock reopen soon.
Business owners who depend on places like Lake Mead, Red Rock, Zion Canyon, and Bryce Canyon say the shutdown hurt profits during their busiest time of year. Even if the shutdown ends and those areas reopen, they say that's money they can't earn back.
Two weeks after boaters paraded down the Las Vegas Strip, protesting the shutdown closing Lake Mead, business at Boulder Boats is picking up according to store owner, Stuart Litjens. It's just not in the way he had hoped.
He says although boaters at Lake Mead can't enjoy an afternoon sailing, they still have to pay to store their boats in the water. That's why more clients have been asking him to sell their boats during what should be the lake's peak visiting season.
"If this were to continue another month, they're potentially paying $400 or $500 to keep their boat at the lake and not use it," Litjens said, "Just this morning, we pulled another one out this morning and they should be out using their boats last weekend, this weekend, and for the month to come."
Litjens estimates the shutdown has already cost him several hundred thousand dollars in boat sales.
On the strip, it's also busy season for tour sales, which is good news for booking agents like Paul Ferlazzo.
The shutdown closed a part of the Grand Canyon, which meant Ferlazzo couldn't sell his most popular tour to the South Rim. He says tour sales increased a little last Saturday after Arizona's government paid to reopen the canyon temporarily, but business is not what it should be.
"There are still people out there who think the canyon is closed. I got some of those questions today," Ferlazzo said.
He and Litjens say these past few weeks have weakened their faith in the government, but they hope to see an end to the shutdown soon.
"It would be nice if this could end permanently, so we can get back to normal. The other months of the year (business) isn't as busy as it is now," said Ferlazzo.
"We're excited there's light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully they get their act together and pass the budget tonight, but does it deserve celebration? No. None of this should have happened," said Litjens.

Movie Info
During the Gold Rush, prospectors brave Alaska's dangerous Chilkoot Pass, hoping to strike it rich in the snowy mountains. Just as Big Jim McKay discovers gold on his claim, a storm arises, prompting a Lone Prospector to take refuge in a cabin. Unknown to him, the cabin's occupant is desperado Black Larsen, who attempts to throw the vagabond Prospector out. Strong winds, however, repeatedly blow the little man back inside, and soon after, Jim is also swept into the cabin. Jim fights with Larsen

Chaplin is the apotheosis of the world's despised and downtrodden, and also their hope; he heralds a revolution in anarchic beauty.
I prophesied that Chaplin, with his finer comedy and his less spectacular farce, would not be able to hold his popularity against it. What has happened is precisely the reverse of what I predicted.
The result is a sight for sore eyes, for old-style Chaplin fans and novitiates alike.
The blend of slapstick and pathos is seamless, although the cynicism of the final scene is still surprising. Chaplin's later films are quirkier and more personal, but this is quintessential Charlie, and unmissable.
The Gold Rush is a distinct triumph for Charlie Chaplin from both the artistic and commercial standpoints, and is a picture certain to create a veritable riot at theatre box offices.
Here is a comedy with streaks of poetry, pathos, tenderness, linked with brusqueness and boisterousness.
It shows Chaplin mixing slapstick with heartbreak like nobody else could. It's plotted in an episodic fashion, but each piece of the puzzle is also a memorable, entertaining bit in and of itself.
"The Gold Rush" is wonderfully charming. The comedic bits are both memorable and humorous, the score is exquisite, and it looks pretty darn great for being as old as it is. It's timeless in the sense that it'll be enjoyable now and 100 years from now.
Even with its (likely dictated) propaganda on behalf of the now-superfluous 1942 edition, this set restores a high watermark in cinematic comedy to nearly full glory.
Emotionally robust and genuinely hilarious in ways that transcend time and culture, it balances the witty and the sentimental and still finds plenty of room to inject the moments of underdog social commentary that were so crucial to Chaplin's worldview.
When it hit cinemas in the summer of 1925, the Berlin-premiere audience applauded Chaplin's 'dance of the dinner rolls' for so long that the film was rewound and replayed, while the BBC recorded 10 straight minutes of audience laughter at one screening.
What's surprising when one takes a fresh look at The Gold Rush is how much else there is, too, not just in terms of set pieces.
Eighty-five years young, "The Gold Rush" is still an effective tear-jerker.
Chaplin said that it was the movie he most wanted to be remembered for, and damn if he didn't get his wish.
City Lights might be Chaplin's most exquisite achievement, but he never made a funnier or more beloved film than his own personal favorite, Gold Rush.
Curiously melancholy yet packed with laughs, the picture's funniest moments aren't even the famous ones.
Audience Reviews for The Gold Rush
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
I'm not really sure which one I liked better. The original drags on (or seems that way), but with the re-release, sometimes the spoken narration, though amusing, is way on the nose and a little overbearing. It's shorter, but doesn't always feel that way. I think I might like the original more, though regardless, I'm gonna be honest and say that this film (regardless of version) is overrated.
Yeah, I know it's a sin to say such a thing, but I can't help it. I still really enjoyed it, and yeah, it's a wonderful landmark piece of art, but it didn't really seem all that hilarious to me. Maybe it's just because silent films aren't my thing. I saw a few before I watched The Artist, but that film kinda made it really hard for me to appreciate the real deal. I think I appreciate the silent era more than I actually enjoy it. In the broad annals of history though, this film is undeniably important, but as an isolated piece of entertainment, it's great, but not a Full 5.
Chaplin does his usual schitck here, though this time his Tramp character is credited as The Lone Prospector (even though he retains his trademark outfit), and the film follwos him as he tries to cash in on the adventure of seeking gold in the Yukon. Leave it to Chaplin to make struggling through some major hardships funny. Not only do he and other desperate men have to deal with their own greed and mistrust of one another, but they have to fight off the elements, starvation, and just general madness.
And yes, a lot of this is really funny and amusing. This is one of those films that's been so influential that when you finally see it, you're like, "Oh, so THAT's where this funny bit comes from!" This happened quite a bit while watching this, and I'm mostly referring to the fork/dinenr roll dance seqeunce, hallucinating that someone is a piece of food and trying to eat them, and being in cabin teetering on the edge of a cliff over certain doom.
I swear, this film must be in the Top 5 of Most Influential/Ripped Off List. Seeing the bits in their original context is great though, and Chaplin and crew are tremendous when it comes to slapstick. I'm not really that big a fan of this type of humor, but I know the good stuff when I see it. Probably my favorite bit is where two guys are fighting over a shotgun whose barrel always end up pointed at The Lone Prospector, no matter where he moves around to. It's a scream.
Are far as the technical aspects of things, this is also a top notch producction. Yeah, it hasn't aged wonderfully, but that is part of the charm, and that's what, I think, makes it more endearing than just the humor. It's sad how much the modern age and digital technology can take away from the hard work and artistry of the filmic craft.
Okay, I'm getting rambly. You should probably see this, if only for default reasons, but even then, it's a really good film. Like I said, I'm not the biggest fan of slapstick, and silent films do take a lot of getting used to, but they're really a lost art, and it was nice for me personally to finally see a full Chaplin film. The dude was a one of a kind, and it sucks that there's really no one like him around anymore.

WASHINGTON — After years of criticism of the wireless service on its trains, Amtrak announced Thursday that it had upgraded its cellular-based Wi-Fi offering using broadband technologies that will improve the speed and reliability of the Internet in its passenger cars.
Amtrak's Wi-Fi has been the target of technology jokes since the railroad introduced the service, with some passengers comparing it to dial-up services like America Online or Prodigy. Others have praised the service, however, saying it allowed them to be productive while traveling between cities, unlike airline travel.

So far I've found the benefits far outweigh any niggles you come across.

So far I've found the benefits far outweigh any niggles you come across.
We're running policy central and their website says you can exclude specific websites from scanning at group level, but I have so far failed to find how to do this (I'm having a 'blonde' day!!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's working well for us so far, apart from the massive amount of captures that need wading through. Some of them have been very interesting!! Kids are funny!
Click on a group, click on the Internet Tab, add the site you want to allow and save. If you want the site accessible globally then highlight it in the list and click Global and save.
After a while you may find it easier to have different lists stored as text files for different groups. The same goes for blocking sites.
Yeah, I've done that but the problem is the PCE website says you can exclude specific websites (e.g. Samlearning) from scanning because of the inordinate amount of hits they get due to language used. So I have added the allowed sites to the list but it is still scanning and I'm still getting hits from those sites.
Thanks though.
I know what you mean.
In PCE go to PCE Control Settings tab
Click on Internet Control
Click the URLs To Be Excluded button
Enter the sites in here.
Have a look in the blocked sites list. I had a problem where BBC Bitesize was being blocked and BBC Games was in the blocked list. Once I removed BBC Games from the blocked list BBC Bitesize was available. I haven't looked at the reasons why that happens yet, it's on my 'To Do' list.
Thats what I've done but I'm still getting hits from those sites......ARGH!!:eek:
I am trying to block http addresses on policy central as the kids have found how to get to youtube using the IP address but it's not letting me do it. I'm still getting a lot of hits but it's slowly diminishing.
Worryingly I'm replying to my own posts now!! Sorted the IP address problem a different way. Still can exclude certain sites from capture although they seem to be excluded from reports. Have contacted policy central but so far no response.:bowl:
we use PCE and except for one or two update problems moving to the new version ( which were all sorted out) I love it lol For the ip addresses in the block list type
*220.127.116.11* and any other youtube ip addresses, I've got about 5 ips in all.
Use the * as wildcards to block sites, and you dont need to putt Http:// blah blah blah. I just put stuff like *game*, Seperate groups for staff as well.
Hope thats a little helpful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you........been trying to stop the kids using IP addresses for ages and now I can block them!!! I am eternally grateful. Now I just have to try and stay one step ahead of the kids! :D
no worries, we block loads of game sites and other bits that make the internet fun, I am quite bitter lol, if you want the txt files of everything we block so you can import/incorporate into your filtering your welcome to it.
We shorthand a lot of stuff like *gam* and *online* to block alot of online gaming sites. Also look out for foreign game sites as well, our lot got clued up
Yeah I have times when I'm really bitter too...........kids don't need fun!! LOL Thanks for the list, I'll certainly use it.:D
no problem mate, funnily enough i say the same thing, there here to work not play. If you have any more trouble let me know. Im getting quite good with PCE.
Yeah me too, I love it. Got to meet with SMT next week to explain it to them!!:D
