"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand
Secession Brings Left/Right Together
Submitted by Westernerd on Sat, 2011-06-18 03:00
Kirkpatrick Sale's ideas on secession, nullification, and the "little platoons" of a free society are bridging traditional divides between Left and Right and provides a framework for how we can live in peace with one another despite our differences.

Go on a River Cruise
We went all the way from Southbank to the mouth of the Brisbane River. Our cruise took four(4 hours), I have met lots of people on board, enjoyed our snacks and lunch of sandwich and coffee.
On arriving at the dock to book a river cruise we met a group of people who were ready to board a charter cruise. When I asked one of the ladies to take a photograph for me (I am an avid photographer) we were invited to join them on their cruise as two people were unable to come.
You may not be as lucky as we were. But just the same look on the internet and book a cruise for yourself.
Address: Board at Southbank
Directions: You need to be in Brisbane, Australia

Walking along Brisbane River
2009 update. Sue (2Cities1Love) and I stayed at the Kingsford Riverside Inn for the mini meet in Brisbane before the big downunder meet and enjoyed a walk in the morning along Brisbane River front.
Early morning walks are enjoyable especially with lovely scenery like this.

The Brisbane River
The Brisbane River just flows gently past Brisbane, seemingly unwiling to distrurb the activities on the banks. Until fairly recently, Brisbane turned its back on the river, and even quite recent buildings look away towards the town rather than the water. But now that the city has woken up to riverfront living, things are changing fast, and riverwalks are being opened up, and you can cruise up and down the river on big catamaran boats.
It's not yet really Brisbane's signature landscape, but it soon will be.
Walking alongside the Brisbane River, starting at the Old Customs House is an excellent way to discover the city for the first time, and you are never far from cafes, buses and shops.
After a busy week and long flights, there really was no better way to relax than to let the sleepy old Brisbane River wash away the blues.
This is my favourite festival in Brisbane and usually lasts for about a week around the end of August and the beginning of September. There are many events on throughout the week including Jazz concerts at the Eagle Street Pier, a feast on the Victoria Bridge and my favourite event, Riverfire - a fantastic fireworks display visible from many spots on the river. As some of the fireworks are let off from the actual Story Bridge, I like to watch the fireworks from the Wilson Outlook at the corner of Bowen Terrace and Moray Street, a perfect vantage point.
Brisbane River
We spent a day travelling up and down the Brisbane River on one of the many pleasure boats. This was a lovely way to pass the time and we got off and visited several locations along the way.

Sony iPhone headsets let you control the music

Joining the MDR-EX38iP, already on the market, the new MDR-EX300iP and MDR-E10iP models promise to blow your socks off with a much better sound than the Apple ones supplied in the box, as well as allowing you to talk to your mates when they call.
Both new models feature an in-built remote control that lets you adjust volume, play/pause, skip tracks and control iPod Shuffle's unique VoiceOver function.
On the sound front, you'll get a 13.5mm Neodymium driver unit that's oriented vertically in the ear.
The MDR-E10iP comes with the added bonus of coming in Pink, Gold, Blue, Grey.
The new MDR-EX300iP and MDR-E10iP headsets from Sony are available from May 2010.

Multimodal 'eyes-free' interaction techniques for wearable devices
Wearable computer
Wearable computers, also known as body-borne computers are miniature electronic devices that are worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing. This class of wearable technology has been developed for general or special purpose information technologies and media development. Wearable computers are especially useful for applications that require more complex computational support than just hardware coded logics. One of the main features of a wearable computer is consistency.

Interaction technique
An interaction technique, user interface technique or input technique is a combination of hardware and software elements that provides a way for computer users to accomplish a single task. For example, one can go back to the previously visited page on a Web browser by either clicking a button, pressing a key, performing a mouse gesture or uttering a speech command. It is a widely-used term in human-computer interaction.
more from Wikipedia
Multimodal interaction
Multimodal interaction provides the user with multiple modes of interfacing with a system. A multimodal interface provides several distinct tools for input and output of data.

Pie menu
In computer interface design, a pie menu (also known as a radial menu) is a circular context menu where selection depends on direction. A pie menu is made of several "pie slices" around an inactive center and works best with stylus input, and well with a mouse. Pie slices are drawn with a hole in the middle for an easy way to exit the menu. Pie menus work well with keyboard acceleration, particularly four and eight item menus, on the cursor keys and the number pad.

Gesture recognition
Gesture recognition is a topic in computer science and language technology with the goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. Gestures can originate from any bodily motion or state but commonly originate from the face or hand. Current focuses in the field include emotion recognition from the face and hand gesture recognition. Many approaches have been made using cameras and computer vision algorithms to interpret sign language.

Personal digital assistant
A personal digital assistant (PDA), also known as a palmtop computer, or personal data assistant, is a mobile device that functions as a personal information manager. Nearly all current PDAs have the ability to connect to the Internet. A PDA has an electronic visual display, enabling it to include a web browser, all current models also have audio capabilities enabling use as a portable media player, and also enabling most of them to be used as mobile phones.

Mobile computing
Mobile computing is a form of human¿computer interaction by which a computer is expected to be transported during normal usage. Mobile computing has three aspects: mobile communication, mobile hardware, and mobile software. The first aspect addresses communication issues in ad-hoc and infrastructure networks as well as communication properties, protocols, data formats and concrete technologies. The second aspect is on the hardware, e.g. , mobile devices or device components.
more from Wikipedia
User interface
The user interface, in the industrial design field of human¿machine interaction, is the space where interaction between humans and machines occurs. The goal of interaction between a human and a machine at the user interface is effective operation and control of the machine, and feedback from the machine which aids the operator in making operational decisions.

Embattled Rep. Vance McAllister (R-La.) missed House votes for the second day in a row on Tuesday, amid the fallout from a video of him kissing one of his staffers.
If McAllister does not turn up to vote for the rest of the week, his absence could potentially complicate the GOP whip count for the 2015 budget proposal.
A video surfaced Monday that shows McAllister in an embrace with a woman who is not his wife. McAllister quickly apologized.
Thirty-six other lawmakers also missed Monday night's roll call votes, and between 15 and 22 lawmakers missed votes that were held Tuesday afternoon.

Richard Davenport covers recruiting for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. He is the host of Recruiting Thursday, a weekly radio show that airs from 7 to 8 p.m. on 92.1 FM in Fayetteville; 93.7 FM in Little Rock; 95.3 FM in Fort Smith; 96.3 FM in Hot Springs; 104.3 FM in Harrison/Mountain Home; and 106.9 FM in Arkadelphia.

FAYETTEVILLE Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson will have to wait a little longer before he receives junior college point guard Jabril Durham's national letter of intent.
Durham, a 6-1, 180-pound guard at Seminole (Okla.) State College, had planned to sign with the Razorbacks on Wednesday, the first day of the spring signing period, but has pushed it back to 10 a.m. Friday.
Durham will become Arkansas' fourth signee for the 2014 class. Forrest City forward Trey Thompson, 6-9, 260; guard Nick Babb, 6-4, 180, of Arlington (Texas) Martin; and North Little Rock point guard Anton Beard, 6-1, 180, signed with Arkansas in November during the early signing period.
Durham orally committed to the Razorbacks over scholarship offers from Oklahoma State, Marquette, Texas A&M and others. He averaged 21.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.7 assists while shooting 50.1 percent from the field and 44.1 percent from beyond the three-point line this season.

Give this job/boss a mulligan and review in three months?
So I took a job to change my life and industry back in January. There were extended negotiations and a massive interview process and even a couple of test (take home) that pretty much doubled as free work. In person, there was a lot of body language and communication I didn't get but I finally have now. The worst of it is, we're at the point where I said we'd renegotiate or I'd leave and now I find out it's all been blown to hell. [more inside]

How to present back-and-forth movement on a resume?
I worked at a place for around two years, then decided to try a new kind of job at a different place. This experiment did not quite work, the job was a poor fit for me, and I was let go after about a year. My original place has hired me back part-time to do part of my old job while I look for something more permanent, which is great! But I'm not sure how to present all of this on a resume.

Leaving Job I Like With Very Little Notice for Job I Would Love
There's a very solid chance that on Monday I will be offered a job with an organization I admire for work that is very much in line with what I want to be doing.

What to do when my job title doesn't match my skill-level?

New job! But there's a catch. Help!
I have an absurdly stable job with great pay and benefits. The problem is, it is not what I want to do long-term and it is not a good cultural fit for me.

My new job is a giant over-promotion and I am horrified
One week into my new job and it has dawned on me that I have absolutely skipped many steps in my career and I am unqualified. The pros: More money! More challenge!

Job titles and opportunities for data-wrangling and analysis
I've been doing a little bit of data-wrangling at work and I've found that I enjoy it and I'm pretty good at it.

Hola Mefi, Here's the rub: I work at a place that I do not like very much, but is on the up and up with lots of funding.

YANM Employment Lawyer, 3 parter
So, I got royally screwed over. State: California. After a tenuous start with a new employer, it was clear my boss wasn't going to work with me to ensure my success on the team, so I started looking around. Found a new job, great fit, great company. Applied, interviewed, and was given an offer. Signed the offer, resigned (verbally) from the current job. [more inside]

Should I Apply For Training Jobs If I Have Panic Attacks When I Train?
One of the primary roles in my last job was training. At some point I started having panic attacks when I began my training sessions, which was a cause of real distress in the moment, but also longer term as I was now worried about my ability to do my job. Now that my company has closed down, I'm looking for a new job, and I've become aware that I'm subtly discounting opportunities which involve training out of fears related to panic attacks. I really don't think I can afford to overlook these positions in the current job market, but my brain keeps imagining turning up at a new job and having a panic attack in front of a whole new group of people, and naturally things grind to a halt from there. Any thoughts, advice or previous experience would be most welcome; comprehensive history inside. [more inside]

Performance review - good time to talk about leaving?
Hi, my friend is up for her performance review and has some specific issues and is wondering about the best approach: Her contract is up in September and she has no plans on renewing it because she will be moving out of the state. If she gets a job before September she plans on leaving sooner as well. Her performance review is tomorrow and she is wondering if she should mention any of this at all. Thanks!
What Should I Do Next?
I'm currently an administrative assistant, but I've been at my current workplace for a while and want to move on. Problem is, I'm not sure what I want to do next. Can AskMe help me pick out some potential new jobs/career paths? My background/interests/various special snowflakes are beneath the fold. [more inside]

Emotionally distancing myself from job while staying productive
Due to a myriad of reasons I've decided the job I'm currently in isn't one I should stay in for the long term and I've begun applying for other jobs. However, the frustrations at the office still get to me. I'm trying to emotionally distance myself but still stay motivated and productive and do my best work (within reason given the circumstances).

Working with Creative Staffing Agencies
I have an interview with a creative staffing agency based in Los Angeles next week and want to be as cagey as possible while talking with them so I don't end up getting myself into something I can't back out of.

Working at a startup that's showing signs of trouble... how to prepare?
I jumped from a big stable company to a startup about a year ago, and now it's growing increasingly clear that things are not looking good for the company financially. If I'm being conservative, let's assume that in 3 to 6 months I know if we'll make it, or if part or all of the company will go under. How to prepare? COMPLICATION: Having a baby soon! [more inside]
I had a great job opportunity. But I think I just blew it.
I recently cold-approached a political hero of mine for a job at a cocktail reception. After hearing my prepared spiel, the person seemed thrilled and introduced me to their chief of staff to "connect." I sent a follow-up e-mail the following day, and almost a week later I have still not heard from them. They are leaving the state in about four days -- do I nudge them now lest I lose the opportunity to reconnect in person, or do I hold off and settle for a phone call at a later date -- or in the worst-case scenario, nothing at all? [more inside]
How do I write this letter to a potential employer?
I'm on the job hunt, and I was recently offered a great job! I have till at least the end of this week to commit or not. However, there's ANOTHER job that I potentially want more. For this second one, I have gone through 2 rounds of phone interviews, submitted my portfolio and done an assignment (a series of technical and creative tasks for them). How do I politely write to them to say "hey, if you want to interview me in person, could we do that ASAP please?" My brainstormed letter below the fold. Also, if you think this a terrible idea, please tell me why. [more inside]
Moving back to Ohio: how do I find a job (and maybe a new direction)?
My partner and I have decided to move back to Ohio to be closer to family. I don't have a network related to my field in Ohio and I'm also not certain I'm applying to the right kind of jobs because of my background. Snowflakes inside! [more inside]
Is a "janitor" position worth to take if want to work in a company?
Allow me not to mention what industry but this is what I am facing.... The skill set in the industry that I want to be working in doesn't require education or certification but talent and network. Unfortunately, I have none. Well, I do have the minimum skills I picked up along my journey but I know they are not enough. I searched and searched for entry position and still no luck getting one. Some day, I came across this job listing for a "janitor" in a facility that I would dream about working at. I applied....and got accepted. Good thing is I am "in" the industry but I won't get to touch what I want to do but cleaning up floors, toilet, kitchen....etc.. Now, my savings is almost up but janitor position seems don't earn good money either. I want to improve myself but I kept going backwards. I told my loved ones that it's an assistant position and I don't want to bring trouble to the managing people, which I won't. I am not sure what to do... Any suggestion?
Impostor Syndrome: The Job Interview version
I recently got invited to interview for what appears to be a dream job a couple of days after applying. Intellectually, I know that they've seen my resume and liked it enough to invite me in. In my heart, I'm feeling ridiculously intimidated and anxious about it being a job I'm underqualified for. [more inside]

I'm an experienced software engineer and manager. I have a number of successful projects under my belt and some really great companies on my resume.

The not very friendly or helpful clerk pointed to the sign. However, when I asked about adding a second night onto our first night, he changed gears and eventually let us into our room.

Major global businesses not only create millions of jobs and great products for consumers, but are also beginning to play a leading role in tackling some of the biggest challenges of our time, from resolving water scarcity to lifting people out of poverty. This book explains in dynamic fashion why taking this approach is fast becoming 'business as usual' for some of the world's largest companies, and provides an inside track on why those who take this approach are more likely to win in the marketplace Graham Mackay, Chief Executive, SABMiller plc
This is a book that many of us have been waiting for! Written by three 'insiders,' it describes how social pressures are influencing corporate behaviour. It will change, for the better, both the tone and substance of debates over corporate social responsibility. Ethan B. Kapstein, INSEAD Chair in Political Economy, INSEAD Business School, France
A new generation of leaders give the inside story on how to become a sustainability-responsible leader. Indispensable. Sara Parkin, Founder Director, Forum for the Future
This unusual book highlights and humanizes the challenges facing those who wish to effect social progress from within a system rather than outside of it. It provides a useful and timely map through the distrust and conflict that can too easily arise where capitalism and activism meet. Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law, Harvard Law School; Author, The Future of the Internet - And How to Stop It
Dunstan Hope, Andy Wales and Matthew Gorman have written a book that captures beautifully the realistic idealism that is at the heart of the modern sustainability movement. Their book is a great guide to the ways that companies are making a difference in the world while also enhancing their competitiveness. Aron Cramer, President and CEO, Business for Social Responsibility
The role of business in helping establish a more sustainable economy is much discussed these days especially by NGOs and academics. We don't often hear from the practitioners: those charged with front-line responsibility for mainstreaming sustainability across their respective companies. Calling on their 30 years of combined experience, the authors of 'Big Business Big Responsibilities' eloquently fill that gap, with a wealth of insights and good practice examples from companies in many different sectors. Jonathon Porritt, author of 'Capitalism as if the World Matters'

In alternating narratives, Bradbury brilliantly recreates the climate of the eighteenth century—as Diderot journeys to Russia at the behest of Catherine the Great for discussions on the nature of the late-18th-century world, as well as the twentieth century academic milieu.In October 1993, a novelist is invited to go to Stockholm and Russia to take part in what is enigmatically referred to as the Diderot Project. In Stockholm he is joined by various other members of the project—including an academic, a lustful opera singer, and a Swedish diplomat. On the journey to Russia more is revealed about the great Enlightenment writer Denis Diderot—the son of a knife maker in Langres, who went to Paris and compiled the Encyclopedia, a book that changed the world.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
So: WHERE'S THE PLACE? Stockholm, Sweden's fine watery capital, laid out on a web of islands at the core of the great archipelago. Time of day? Middle to late morning. Month? Let's see, the start of October, 1993. How's the weather? Cool, overcast, with bright sunny periods and occasional heavy showers. Who's coming on the journey? I think it's best to wait a bit and see.
The fact is that the Swedish summer season the super-physical, island-hopping, boat-building, skinny-dipping, crayfish-eating, love-feasting, hyper-elated phase of this nation's always rich and varied manic cycle is reaching its dank autumnal end. Smart white tourboats with perspex carapaces still cruise the narrow canals of Stockholm's Gamla Stan, the Old Town. Noisy guides are megaphoning out their wonderfully gruesome tales of the Swedish Bloodbath. But now they are not very many, just an end-of-season few. On the ruffled waves of the city's inner harbours, dinghies with multi-coloured sails tack back and forth, hither and thither, up and down. But this is positively their final flurry; they'll all be winched out of the water and put into dry dock in a matter of a few more weeks or days.
In the neat windswept parks that surround the harbour, the leaves flop wetly, the last open-air coffee or sausage stalls are starting to hammer down their shutters. Here and there groups of men some sporting summer shirts, but most in puffed-out winter anoraks play chess with man-size pieces. Small crowds of children and various time-wasting persons,walking little dogs, gather round as they menace black with white. On the benches, at the few final tables left outside the few final cafés, hopeful people sit with their chins elevated. Blank-faced, mystical, they're staring at the sky, hopeful of gathering a last sight of that most precious of all the northern treasure hordes, the sun. Aware of just how desirable it is, the sun keeps showing and then going, in a sequence of short sexy glimpses: now you see me, now you don't. It drops patches of gold dazzle onto the green-brown copper roofs and spires that cap and crown the grandiose national buildings over the water, the buildings of a big old empire: the Swedish Royal Palace, the Storkyrkan Cathedral, the Parliament Building. A bit further over in the panorama is the modernist City Hall, where the Nobel Prizes are awarded to the sound of a gunshot intended to celebrate Sweden's two most noted gifts to humanity: the sweet dream of universal peace, the big bang of dynamite.
A brooding Nordic gloom wafts through the air. Euphoria is over, winter depression starting. Yet why? Everything here is so neat, so satisfying, so wealthyish, so burgherish. Civic, that surely has to be the word. Everything suggests a common social virtue, a universal sobriety of mind, a decent respect for order, an open-faced moral clarity. Just democracy, expensive simplicity the things of which so many people have dreamed. You'll find the same spirit everywhere you go. For instance, in the small clean efficiently modern bedroom of my nice little hotel on Storgatan, which looks out across the courtyard into the small clean efficiently modern rooms of innumerable well-fitted apartments. Both bedroom and bathroom are packed with gentle philosophical instructions inspirations to citizenship and virtue, all couched in the liberal language of secular religiosity. `Please help us save the world. In Sweden we love our beautiful lakes and seas and wish to protect them. Use only official soaps, and use your towels for at least two days.' `Condoms and the Holy Bible are provided in your bedside drawer, for your physical and spiritual content and protection. Please make use of them with the compliments of the management.'
As I walk round, everything is like this. Liberal, simple, decent, without irony. The streets are clean, straight, neat, tidy. The food: crisp, clean, fresh, fishy. The coffee: dark, scented, thick, excellent. The air: brisk, sharp, pure, windy. Quality rules, yet not ostentation. It's the middle way. Nothing is too pompous, or too tacky; too blatantly conservative, or too vulgarly radical. This exactly matches what the Swedes like to say about themselves: nothing too little, nothing too much. There is plenty of wealth, but how very quietly it's spent. In the smart shopping streets the well-dressed shoppers stroll. Dark-coloured Saabs and leather-seated Volvos swish by. The cars have their lights on, the drivers have their belts on. The litres may be many, but the petrol's lead-free and the pace is sober; in fact everyone drives at a blatantly considerate, a truly civic sort of speed. The elegant pedestrians tall girls in their leather thigh-boots, healthy men in their loden topcoats, universal cyclists theatrical in their arrowed helmets and Day-Glo Lycra (always in Sweden there are these reminders that it is healthy to be healthy) stop, with the same consideration, to let them pass. Then suddenly, thanks not to some officious red light but to justice, reason, fairness and decency, the vehicles all stop in their turn. Whereat, with just the same polite consideration, the pedestrians and the Lycra cyclists, carefully, appreciatively, cross the road to the other side.
The crisp smart goods in the stores are just as well ordered, just as considerate. Don't imagine it was some chic fifties Swedish modernist with a doctorate in design from Paris who invented all these bleached white woods, pure colours, honest straight lines that deck the smart lofts of the known world. Swedish style was born from the Swedish soul: nature, the outdoors, the woods, winds, sea, rocks, spray, all of it shaped into function by the piney, craft-loving, shipbuilding, homesteading old Nordic soul. Look at it. Those carpentered chairs so straight-lined and thoughtful. Those handmade tables so crafted, sturdy, square-edged, crisp-grained. Those woven fabrics bright yet so restrained. Everything modest, homely, truthful, under-stated. Yet, lest some unfortunate misunderstanding occur, all this simplicity is expensive beyond belief- especially if you're a wandering foreign tourist like myself.
But, as I'm discovering, the most expensive thing in this decent, pleasant, unpretentious liberal country is money itself. I'm in a bank in a clean tree-filled square at Storgatan, just up the hill above the harbour. An exceedingly nice bank plain, modern, open-plan, white, computerized, smelling of fresh coffee, flied with nice people. So nice I know something is missing: the demonic rage of money, the danger of coin, not to say the angled security cameras, bullet-proof screens and Kalashnikov-toting guards that modern banking needs. The Land of the Bears is, I recall, famous for its banking. It went with a central role in the Hanseatic League, the mastery of Baltic trade, the role of financier of European wars. If my imperfect memory is right, it was Sweden that devised the notion of the National Bank. Above all, it went with a decent supply of the things money is made of: minerals and paper. To use the mineral reserves of the Upplands, the Swedes dispensed with precious metals and invented the decent plain democratic copper coin: a great invention when you wanted a loaf of bread, though if you wanted to buy something really expensive one of those Swedish tables, for example you had to go out shopping not with a purse but a horse and cart.
So why (I'm asking myself) am I having so much trouble in performing a normal economic transaction, a simple act of rates of exchange? I've come to this handsome blonde bank because I want to change English pounds for American dollars. In the world of money it's a normal, rational request. At a handsome blonde desk a handsome blonde teller sits, tapping away at her handsome computer console. Like everyone I've met since I flew into Arlanda airport this morning, she's serious, kind, courteous civic, that has to be the word. That is the Swedish way. The Land of the Bears has always felt a bit like an enlightened Islington primary school, with tundra. First she asks me for my papers. Passport. Driving licence. Travel insurance. Health insurance. Social security number. Fine: I have paper, therefore I am. She enquires about the traffik, the devise, the curso, the cambio, the change I'm after. How will I pay? I hand her a splendid walletful: Visa, American Express, Diner's, Barclaycard, Master Charge, British Airways Executive Club. I have plastic, therefore I shop. But not, it seems, in modern Sweden.
`Nej, nej,' she says.
I offer bankcard, chargecard, Eurocard. I flash a gold this, wave a silver that. I lean forward against her scented blonde hair and murmur a splendid little secret: my pin number.
`Nej, nej,' she says, staring at me bemused, `if you would like money, you must give me some money first.'
`But this is money,' I say. `Money as we now know it.'
`Nej, nej, not in Sweden,' she says. `This is not money, it's credit. I need good money. Don't you have proper English pounds?'
I look at her amazed. The year, as we've said, is 1993. This is a highly advanced nation. A glorious new millennium is to hand. Then, if computers don't crash and planes fall from the sky in the great turnover of numbers, we will all become part of Euro-Europe; that will be the end of the old age of rates of exchange. Francs will fade, Deutschmarks dissolve, escudos expire, lire lapse, the krona will crash. Even the great British pound will pass away, as in their season all good things pass away.
I for one will mourn its passing, shed a big wet fiscal tear. I madly love coin and currency, paper and print, guineas and guilders, sovereigns and sovereignties, ducats and crowns, farthings and forints, cambio and curso, cash and carry. True, here in 1993, Sweden has still not yet elected to join the European Community, but we all know it's just a matter of time. And true, with all those fir trees in the forests, all that paper in the papermills, all that copper in the Upplands, it has a vested interest in money as it always was and should be. But Sweden is modern, paper money isn't. Still, if that's what she wants, that's what she'll have. Money, yes, I remember I had some once. I dig deep into my wallet, and there it is: a small wad of British notes for general circulation. George Stevenson Mr Puffing Billy in his stovepipe hat looks proudly out from the fives. Charles Dickens, creator of one of the world's greatest fictional galleries of speculators and peculators, looks out from the twirls of the tens. Michael Faraday, who invented the electric lighthouse, guards the security of the twenties. The Queen is present. Nothing could be more reliable.
`Will this do?' I ask.
`Jo, jo, tip top, tack, tack,' says the teller, smiling, taking and counting them.
There's quite a long line of people standing behind me now. But this is decent liberal Sweden, so nobody murmurs, and no one complains. The teller tip-taps her computer; presently she hands me a fresh wad of notes.
`Tack, tack,' I say, and look. They're Swedish kronor, elegant and colourful, not what I wanted at all. `Nej, nej,' I say. `It's not right. I want American dollars.'
`Jo, jo, dollars, tack, tack,' says the teller, taking the notes back. She checks them carefully, to make sure I have not done them a mischief, returns them to the drawer, tip-taps her computer. The line behind me has grown longer, reaching into the street. Nobody utters, nobody shows the faintest impatience. The teller reaches into her drawer again, counts out a few crisp American greenbacks, and hands them to me.
`Tack, tack,' I say.
I look. And I look again. This wad seems curiously small. In a matter of minutes, a hundred British pounds have traded into forty American dollars, a very remarkable rate of exchange.
`I gave you a hundred, you gave me forty,' I complain. The line of people waits.
`Jo, jo,' says the teller.
`It can't be right.'
`Jo, jo, it's right,' she says. `Tax. You made three changes. Each time you pay a tax.'
`I didn't make three changes, you did.'
`But in Sweden everything is changed through the krona.'
`Why is it changed through the krona?'
`Of course, so you can pay all the tax.'
Now in Istanbul or Athens, even in London's Edgware Road, this would look extremely suspicious. But this is Sweden: the higher society, the moral kingdom, the land of liberalism and utter honesty. I glance round. The line behind me reaches right across the street and is blocking the traffic; in fact this part of Stockholm has come to a total standstill. No horns bleep, nobody utters, no one even coughs.
`I don't want to pay the tax.'
`Everyone likes to pay tax.'
The teller smiles at me, the line of people behind me nod in agreement, all with that beautiful, open, Swedish reassurance that tells me money belongs to none of us, is granted on loan to us from the mother state. So don't we feel that much more human and decent, that much more ... civic, when we know we're being swingeingly taxed?
Now what, you could fairly ask, am I doing here, in the world's most moral kingdom, trafficking British pounds for American greenbacks? Sweden lies on no familiar route from Britain to America. But America's not where I'm going or not for many pages yet. In any case America long ceased trading in greenbacks. Even plastic is nearly finished; money in America is already virtual money, post-money, non-specie; it's plastic, smart chip, computer debit, electronic cash. But I'm on my way to the true land of the Almighty Dollar, the real nation of the greenback, at the far end of the Baltic: the CRS, what's left of the Russian Union and the great empire of the tzars. To prepare my journey, I have carefully read, on the morning flight over from Stansted, a book by a famous eighteenth-century traveller there, the ubiquitous Comte de Segur, French ambassador to Catherine the Great just before the French Revolution which to her eternal disgust and dismay he warmly supported, at least for a while.
Even at that date, he was struck by the unusual nature of the Russian economy. `Here one must forget the rules of finance one learns in other countries,' he noted. `The mass of banknotes, the realization that there are no reserves to back them, the use of strange and unusual coinages, the kind of thing that in other lands would bring immediate collapse or revolution, here cause no surprise at all. The great Empress Catherine could, I've no doubt, turn leather into money should she wish.' Well, plus ça change; as it was, so it is now. To this day the rouble is a strange, only part-convertible currency, a set of roguish numbers, a con man's fancy that has never truly replaced barter in silks and camels, icons, part-worn dresses, Turkish drugs, old lampshades, surplus nuclear missiles, loaves and fishes, live or dead souls. In the hard heyday of Communism, the special shops for the nomenklatura traded, of course, in dollars which then generally drifted westward to Switzerland or bought fine real estate in Nice. Now, in the fine new free-market era, when the nomenklatura prefers to see itself as the mafia, no smart Russian hotelier, sommelier, blackmailer, bribe-taker or capitalist oligarch would dream of trading in anything else. Avoid the rouble; it's dollars or nothing. That's what all the hardened travellers say.
And, someone has carefully warned me, it's best to carry your dollars into the country with you. These days nobody in Russia knows what money is worth; they just know it's a mad and ridiculous invention no one can get enough of. That's why it will be difficult to make a fair and reliable exchange in the grand and noble banks of Petersburg, and probably not even on the Russian ferry I'm booked on and which will be taking me there tomorrow night. Which is precisely why I'm standing here in the blonde bank at Storgatan, evidently rescuing without knowing it the entire Swedish tax system and its fine welfare economy. I take my tiny wad of dollars and stuff them in my pocket.
`Tack, tack,' says the blonde teller, looking at me ever so sweetly.
`Tack, tack,' I say just as sweetly back, and walk out: out of the nice blonde bank into the fine bourgeois air; past the patient unending line of stalled philosophical customers which now extends almost as far as the harbour; into the tree-filled square at Storgatan, now completely gridlocked with polite Volvos, feeling different, poorer, wiser on the instant, as, for some reason, foreign travellers often say they do ...

Two parallel stories: 1) an british philosophy professor who is invited to participate to a research trip to St Petersburg following the footsteps of Diderot. 2) Diderot's trip to Russia and his interviews with Catherine the Great. It might sound like a very serious subject and it is, however it is told with tons of humor. After all Diderot was not exactly boring, he was cynical, naughty and funny! The best book I read in 2002.

As an iPhone 3GS owner, I've been watching with interest as companies have started releasing Android phones with larger screens. The Motorola Droid X and the HTC both have 4.3 inch screens, compared to the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4's 3.5 inch display. The Droid X is 12.3 mm taller and 6.9 mm wider than the iPhone 4, and weighs almost .7 ounces more. Dell is going to be introducing a phone that's being branded as an android tablet, the Dell Streak, with a 5 inch display.
Certainly more screen real estate comes in handy. Apple certainly recognized this and released the iPad, which has been selling very well. People are finding that the additional screen real estate really transforms how the device is used compared to their iPhones and iPod Touches, and people who have them love them. So, especially after seeing the iPad spark massive interest, it's understandable that some of the other smartphone manufacturers would be tempted to think that making the screens on their devices larger is a great idea. But there is a flip side to this, and Cnn.com has an article talking about the problem of phones too big for pockets.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 118 reviews
The hotel was clean and food was great. They have a friendly service. The bed was comfortable. The bar in the room had a good selection. The bar downstairs: the person didn't know how to make Malibu with Pineapple... It was water and pineapple in a blender.... Not pineapple juice... Tasted horrible. The location was great. They had a great taxi service parked outside. They were reliable, on time, and clean. I will recommend the hotel but nothing from the bar..... If you like to drink ;)
My husband and I stayed for two nights. The customer service was outstanding.
Very good hotel in great neigbourhood and at a good price. For cocktails outside go around the corner to the ' Country Club Hotel '.
The bathroom is outdated Bathtub VERY slippery and dangerous Not enough water pressure... And after a long work day you really want a good shower
Comfortable and in an upscale neighborhood. We felt safe and walked to the cliffs overlooking the water. We struggled to find a good place to eat within walking distance though.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
