Sweden releases first pictures of newborn princess | Springfield News-Leader | News-Leader.com

I took the three line video cable from the living room Sony Media player to the Orion television in the bedroom, and I disconnected it along with its Y-Splitters.  I also disconnected the Y splitters from the Switch box and the cable to the second K-World Connector that was disconnected.  I used the Y splitters and the Cables to connect the Sony Media Player to the YPBPR input into the K-World tuner which also has the primary Cable Box YPBPR cables running into it on the Y Splitters along with the Audio.  However, there is one catch for the Sony Media Player to work on the K-World tuner connected to the Acer 22 inch LCD monitor, one has to not turn off the Cable box, but turn off the power to the Cable box.  I setup a power strip by the magazine rack to the left of the Ethan Allen recliner to turn off the power to the cable box for that purpose.  Thus one is now able to watch the Sony Media Streaming device on either the living room Sony Trinitron television or the K-World Acer 22 inch LCD monitor setup, but not both at the same time, since when the power to the cable box is turned off the power to the Sony Trinitron television is also turned off.  In the process of moving cables and devices around, I knocked the ten pound Buckingham Palace model off the Danish bar twice hitting the side of my foot causing quite a bit of pain but no damage.  I figured the Queen was trying to tell me something, so I put the big British Union Jack flag up on the right side of the bookcases in the Hallway with the Swedish flag on the left side.  I moved the Buckingham Palace model to one top of the Cambridge Sound bass speaker on the window shelf.  Both Cable boxes are still connected to the K-World Acer 22 inch LCD monitor setup also.  I have one of my stereo speaker systems connector disconnected from a part I used, so I need to buy a female to female audio connector.  The DVD player and the FIC server and the Sony Media Player still work on the Sony Trinitron television controlled by the switch box.  CIO

Note: <888> 02/27/12 Monday 5:10 P.M.  I woke up at noon.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  I went back to bed until 4 P.M..  I chatted with a relative.  CIO

Note: <888> 02/27/12 Monday 12:25 A.M.  On the K-World TV tuner connected to the 22 inch ACE LCD monitor, I also had the YPBPR adapter with its five cable connections.   I disconnected the Switch Box connector which is connected to the Sony Steaming Media device and left it by the K-World tuner to have available for use, and I connected the YPBPR connector to the K-World TV tuner, and I used five cables to hook up the YPBPR connector to the Optimum Digital Cable Box, so on the K-World tuner when it is set to YPBPR setting or its fourth video setting I get the living room Cable Box in high definition which is extremely sharp and clear.  Thus one can have the first regular TV video setting from the bedroom Digital Cable box or the even sharper setting from the Living Room Cable box.  I also put two new AAA alkaline batteries in the K-World remote control.  CIO

If you've started to wonder what the real costs of socialism are going to be -  once the full program in these United States hits your wallet, take a look at the table.  As you digest these mind-boggling figures, keep in mind that in spite of these astronomical tax rates, these countries are still not financing their social welfare programs exclusively from tax revenues!  They are deeply mired in public debt of gargantuan proportions.  
Greece has reached the point where its debt is so huge it is in imminent danger of defaulting.  
That is the reason the European economic community has intervened to bail them out.  If you're  following the financial news, you know Spain and Portugal are right behind Greece .

The United States is now heading right down the same path. The VAT tax in the table is the national sales tax that Europeans pay.  Stay tuned because that is exactly what you can expect to see the administration proposing after the fall elections.  The initial percentage in the United States isn't going to be anywhere near the outrageous numbers you now see in Europe.  Guess what?  The current outrageous numbers in Europe didn't start out as outrageous either.  They started out as minuscule - right  around the 1% or 2% where they will start out in the United States.  Magically, however, they ran up over the years to where they are now.  Expect the same thing here.

It is the very notion that with hard work and perseverance, anybody can get ahead economically here in the USA.  Do you think that can ever happen with tax rates between 60% and 80%?   Think again.  With the government taking that percentage of  your money, your life will be exactly like life in Europe...  You will never be able to buy a home.  You will  never buy a car.  You will never send your children to college.  Let's not shuffle the battle cry of the socialists under the rug either.  It's always the same cry.  Equalize income.  Spread the wealth to the poor whoever they are.  Level the economic playing  field.  Accomplish that and everything will be rosy.

It's time to take a really hard look at reality.  Greece is a perfect example.  Despite the socialism system that has ruled that country for decades, with a 65% tax rate, they are drowning in public debt, would have defaulted without hundreds of billions in bailout money from the EU, and still. . .  20% of their population lives in  poverty. 
  
What has all that socialism money bought, besides ultimate power for the politicians running the show? 
Do you think these people are "free"?  They're not.  
They are slaves to their economic "system."
   
Instead of spreading the wealth around, spread this info around. It might wake up some people.

Note: <888> 02/13/12 Monday 12:20 P.M.  I went out after the last note.  I went downtown.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar Store, and I played a "Aces High" scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought two 12.5 ounce boxes of White Chocolate Chip and Macadamia nut cookies for $3 each two 18.8 ounce cans of Campbell's New England clam chowder for $1.50 each, and two 6.35 ounce Pringles sour cream and onion potato chips for $1.50 each for $12.74 total.  I used the bathroom at CVS.  I finished my walk.  They were working on laying more cables underneath Greenwich Avenue.  I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road They are working on the Indian Harbor Yacht Club Junior Sailing Dock on the east side of Steamboat Road pouring concrete around it.  I took a longer drive to charge up the Audi battery.  I drove through Bruce Park.  There is a large fallen tree on the east side of Bruce Park.  I drove north on Indian Field Road, and I stopped by the Cos Cob Mobil Mart, and I bought $14.02 of premium self service gasoline for $4.499 a gallon for 3.117 gallons at odometer reading of 69610 miles for 28.5 miles driving since January 30, 2012 for 9.144 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I then drove west on East Putnam Avenue.  There was a dead skunk in the road opposite the rectory at Christ Church.  I stopped by the Shell Station at Sherwood Place, and I filled up my tires to 32.5 PSI all around.  I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I read www.pcworld.com magazine.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought four day old apple tarts for $2, a six pack of day old Kaiser rolls for $1.75, a boneless pork tenderloin for $3.99 a pound for $12.37 and bananas for .79 a pound for $1.02 for $17.14 total.  I then returned home.  I chatted with the building custodian.  I put away my groceries.  CIO     

Note: <888> 02/13/12 Monday 7:45 A.M.  I threw out the garbage.  I cleared a little bit of light snow powder off the Audi.  It looks to be pretty much clear out.  I guess we could launch a massive assault on downtown Greenwich Avenue to launch the World's financial markets this morning.  I will now go downtown to see if Greenwich Avenue has changed in a week, since I was last out.  CIO 

Note: <888> 02/13/12 Monday 6:45 A.M.  I chatted with a friend.  I will now shower and clean up and put foot fungus cream on my feet.  Generally, in the winter one spends more time inside up here north of the Mason Dixon line, so we do not always run out in icy weather just to see a few people having coffee at the comfort of www.starbucks.com on Greenwich Avenue.  Sometimes when there are icy conditions, the trains do not run properly, since the ice can interfere with the overhead electrical wires.  However, they do not say there are icy conditions, just at 6 P.M. last night there were light snow flurries that caused icy conditions.  Still I have nothing to do downtown, so I guess I will stay inside this morning.

Note: <888> 02/07/12 Tuesday 12:50 A.M.  I sorted out the magazines in the magazine rack to the left side of the Ethan Allen recliner.  I threw out the old magazines and periodical literature.  It seems pretty quiet over here in Byram.  I have plenty of activity to keep my busy at home, so there is no point in walking downtown on Greenwich Avenue in the early morning hours.  Still "Across the Pond" in Western Europe, they are just waking up and starting a new day, but they have not yet learned to communicate over here with the night people whom happen to be awake.  There are always people awake at night and the early morning hours in Manhattan, but it would cost too much money for me to venture into Manhattan to see a few pub crawlers whom might be happening to visit the Big City. With the price of gasoline, one can not cruise around here aimlessly at night like one use to be able to do in the old days.  Still I have a good internet and communications setup in my home office.  Since the Western Hemisphere is isolated by two large oceans, we tend to be in a rather remote part of the planet without much going on here.  Still a lot of people on the West Coast in California tend to keep night and early morning hours, so some of them might still be awake right now.  Since rich people seem to rule the world, after they have dinner and cocktails nothing seems to go on while they sleep.  Still having been a night person all of these years, I am use to the night time schedule.  I suppose there are still a number of people awake in the Greenwich Hospital at this hour of the morning waiting for something to happen.  It is nice weather out.  The diner on East Putnam Avenue across from the Y.M.C.A. is opened 24 hours, but I don't see many people wandering in there at this hour of the morning anymore.  I used to know a lot of night places in Manhattan until I moved out of Manhattan 30 years ago, so I doubt if many of those early morning haunts are still opened anymore.  I suppose a lot of the night time bloggers in Manhattan are sitting at various wireless locations, if they don't have the internet at home.  People out in the country tend to be on more daytime schedules, since there is really not too much happening out in the country in the early morning hours.  Judging by the amount of noise I heard while sleeping on Monday, it was a busy day.  If one wants to see what is happening over at the Rockefellers in North Tarrytown, New York at this hour of the morning, there is a 24 hour diner at the I-287 north exit for Tarrytown, New York, but in the old days before the internet, it was not too busy in the early morning hours.  There are fast food restaurants at the I-95 rest areas in Darien, Connecticut, but I am not sure if those places are safe to venture to at this hour of the morning.  If there are any Spanish around here, they usually do not have dinner until after 10 P.M. at night, so maybe some Spanish restaurants might still be opened.  I guess since Greenwich, Connecticut evolved from a rural farming community, there are not many night time people around here.  Since the local youth have school in the daytime, they probably would not be awake at this hour of the morning.  Some of the local college students might be awake, but I am way beyond my college years.  I suppose the local public safety building is fully staffed waiting for something to happen, but they usually do not feel like socializing with "Night Owls".  CIO
